Dallas / Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Rescue Club

ADOPT

Below is a list of Labs that will be available for adoption soon. Since we don't have a shelter, our Labs are housed in foster homes. Labs new to our program are kept in a coming soon status for a minimum of 12 days while our foster families get to know them and to get them ready to be adopted. Coming Soon Labs are not available to meet or to go to public events. When they are cleared to be adopted they will appear on our Available Labs page.

Click each picture to find what our foster families have to say about each of our dogs - this information is preliminary and may change once the Lab is available to be adopted.

If you are interested in any of our coming soon Labs, we urge you to complete an adoption application. Adoption information and application is found here. If you have questions about the adoption application process, send an email to our Applications Team.

Raido - 2.4 Year Old Female

Raido - 2.4 Year Old Female

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Chocolate (Sliver) Female 71 lbs - Heartworm positive -

Hi! My name is Raido and I'm a sweet, special girl. I love it here with my foster family but I am looking forward to a forever family I can call my own. I started out my first two years being mostly kenneled outside so I am loving having some freedom and the luxuries of being an indoor dog. I go in my crate easily and rest quietly while I am in there. My foster mom works from home, so I don't have to go in there very often.

I am learning how to go outside to potty and am doing really well with that now. I do great on a leash with the easy walk harness, but am limited at the moment on my activites due to my heartworms which are in the process of being treated. My coat is a beautiful silver/chocolate color and my fur is a bit brittle and patchy currently, but I am working on improving that with a good diet and supplements.

I was a little bit of a Velcro dog when I first came here but am starting to do a few more things on my own. I love being petted and getting attention but also will rest quietly througout the day. My foster family consists of a former Lab Rescue dog and a chihuahua. I enjoy being with them, but the little dog sometimes makes me a little apprehensive/jealous and I also did not like seeing a kid playing soccer when we were on a walk so for these reasons, I probably will do best in a home without small children and small dogs or cats.

I have mischievious streak which could be age related. I like to grab shoes and drop them off in other parts of the house. I don't chew them, just move them. I also like counter surfing and grabbing food from hands/plates. We are working on that, but hey, these steroids are making me hungry! I have a soft mouth with treats and don't tear apart toys. My fosters are working on some basic commands like sit and down. I do understand 'No". Further obedience training will be something I look forward to as I am a fast learner and like to please.

Please say yes to me. Help me make the transition from my past to the life of luxury I deserve.

Sherlock - 1.6 Year Old Male

Sherlock - 1.6 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Chocolate male 89 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available TBD

Let me introduce myself I’m Sherlock. I’m a 90 lbs male that loves to play ball and run in the back yard. My fosters say I walk on a leash well and I get along well with other humans and other dogs. I'm really a good guy but I have a lot of energy and I really like staying busy. They say I’m strong willed, so I need an alpha human, a lot of patience & a good trainer working with me to keep me out of trouble. My foster mom says if you have another dog that likes to play, a lot, that might be best.

Eventually, I'm sure I will slow down but it might be a while. I know I am gonna be a great dog someday, but it will take the right family that understands the needs of an active, young, lab and is committed to helping me burn off some of my big personality every day!

Kasi - 1.9 Year Old Female

Kasi - 1.9 Year Old Female

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Black Female 55 lbs - Heartworm negative - est avail date TBD

Energetic loving girl that desires attention and needs room to run and play. Kasi loves to play ball and chase sticks. She loves her large teddy bear and surprisingly after almost two months it has suffered very little damage. She hasn’t been in the pool yet but I bet as soon as the swimming season starts she will learn to love the pool. For right now the ledge and first step is her place to get a drink and play in the water. She is potty trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She prefers the couch with throw pillows and soft blankets over her memory foam bed. We work from home so she spends most of her time out of the kennel but when we leave she goes into the kennel easily and when we return she sits quietly and calmly until we let her out. Kasi knows the following commands sit, down, back, stay and walks good on a leash. She sits back and waits for her food to be fixed and when told she then moves to the dish. Kasi’s will most likely do best in a single dog household. She is currently getting some personal training for her anxiety around others.

Zachary - 2.3 Year Old Male

Zachary - 2.3 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Chocolate Male 74 lbs - Heartworm positive- Est available Mid April

Hi, my name is Zachary. I’ve been with my foster family about 3 weeks. I’ve been working hard to train them on how to best scratch my ears, rub my belly, and be generous with treats. I’m really enjoying life in a home with several comfortable dog beds, 3 square meals, regular walks, and lots of loving from my
foster parents. I love dog toys, especially ropes to play tug-of-war or soft squeaky toys. My foster sister doesn’t play with toys but that’s fine. I’ve learned to entertain myself. I like to run around the house throwing my squeaky toy; then I pounce on it and toss it again. After 5 minutes of that, I settle down and keep mom company while she works. If you are looking for a young, energetic, handsome boy ask about meeting me.

From Zachary’s foster mom: Zach’s true personality has come out in the past few weeks. He had been in the shelter and boarding for several weeks waiting for a foster home. He was a bit nervous when he arrived. In the past few weeks, we’ve watched him transform into a sweet, goofy, curious boy. He is fully
house trained, doesn’t chew anything other than dog toys, sleeps well in his crate, gets along well with our dog, and loves to be wherever the humans are. He makes a great snuggle buddy when watching TV. He has the energy of a typical young lab. He gets very excited which results in pulling on the leash, jumping, and sometimes getting a bit mouthy (he has a very soft mouth). The biggest challenge we’ve had is his reaction to other dogs or unknown things (e.g., an electric car driven by a small child) when walking him on a leash. We have been working with a trainer to focus that energy and improve his manners. He is smart, wants to please, and is a quick learner. As with any young lab he will need consistent training so that he continues to improve.

We believe Zach would do best in a home as the only dog or with a very calm, non-dominant dog. Introductions would have to be done slowly (we took over 30 hours to introduce him to our dog). A home where someone is home most of the time, with no children under 12 would be best. The most important criteria would be a home that has large dog experience with a person/people who will continue his training. He needs someone who is willing to invest the love, time, and energy to help him be the best that he can be. I guarantee that he will return your love ten-fold.

Sk-out - 1.3 Year Old Male

Sk-out - 1.3 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Black Male 59 lbs - Heartworm pending - Est available TBD after arrival in foster home

Meet Scout! This vivacious boy spent his first year outdoors and suffered a knee injury. He has since had successful TPLO surgery and has been cleared by the surgeon. He’s working everyday to rebuild strength in that leg and is making great progress. We expect a full recovery, though that will take a little time.

Scout has good manners and will sit, lay down, and shake. He’s still working on stay. He loves to play and enjoys other dogs but is happy on his own as well. He loves to swim, retrieve and enjoys a good snuggle as well as an afternoon nap on the couch. This boy is a sweetheart and has a lot of love to give!

Champion - 5.2 Year Old Male

Champion - 5.2 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Chocolate Male 55 lbs - Heartworm positive- Est available Mid May

Champion is a sweet chocolate boy who has been without a forever home for over a year. He was found by a Good Samaritan over a year ago & his owner was never found. Time went by and the Good Samaritan reached out to DFWLRRC. Champion was heartworm positive but he’s completed his treatment and doing well.

Champion is completely housebroken & hasn’t shown any interest in chewing on anything he should not. He is not a fan of the crate and knows to avail himself of the doggy door as appropriate. Like any self respecting Lab, he can be known to take advantage of some tasty morsels left carelessly on the counter.

He is a bit selective about which dogs he likes in his foster home, some he likes (or ignores) and others not so much. He would love being the only dog as he craves a human’s presence & love.

Konnie - 4.1 Year Old Female

Konnie - 4.1 Year Old Female

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Yellow Female 82 lbs - Heartworm Positive- Est available Mid June

Hi there...I'm Konnie. I am a sweet lovebug. My favorite thing is to be pet A LOT! If you want to stop petting me, I'm really good at nagging for more pets. I want to be wherever my person or people are. I really don't like to go outside without my people right now (I'm new in the house), so I will wait at the door and look for them if I walk outside and they don't come with me. I enjoy fetching and walks and to be honest, I'm a pretty chill pup if I get my exercise. I don't know if I like cats because my foster family doesn't have any in the house. My foster does have other dogs big and small, and I don't mind any of them and I'm ok staying home with the other dogs in my foster house if I can lay around on the couch.

I am really looking forward to having a furever family who wants me to be their shadow, exercise me and love on me LOTS!

Nixie - 1.6 Year Old Female

Nixie - 1.6 Year Old Female

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Yellow Female 76 lbs - Heartworm Positive- Est available TBD after arrival in foster home

Sweet Nixie is a beautiful yellow lab surrendered along with her mother, Konnie who is also in the rescue. Nixie came into our house very timid as she was separated from her mother for the first time in her young life. She immediately attached herself to my husband and I. She doesn’t wonder far away and if we get up and start moving she is right by our side. We have hardly heard a peep out of her. She didn’t know what a kennel was and we are slowly getting her to go in and eat. We have closed the door for a few minutes at a time and will continue increasing the time as long as she is in our home.

Nixie is a lover of all dogs and kids and has been calm around my 3 month old grandson. She walks great on a leash. Nixie is heartworm positive and is scheduled to have treatment on 5/23 and 24th. She should be ready for adoption somewhere around the 10th of June. Get your applications in and get in line for this awesome, sweet girl!

Nadiya is a playful and happy girl. She loves to run in the backyard and play with toys. She is mostly housetrained, crate trained, and is learning to walk well on a leash. Having dog toys is really good right now since she is always looking for something to chew. She is good with my two older dogs and shows a respectful curiosity for my cats. Nadiya is very affectionate and loves to be near people.

Capt. Rogers - 1.8 Year Old Male

Capt. Rogers - 1.8 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Chocolate Male 78 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available Mid May

Capt. Rogers is a young, vigorous boy, with the sleekest, most beautiful chocolate fur you’ve ever seen. It truly gleams. His striking yellow eyes set off his fur perfectly. He is inquisitive, a sous chef in the kitchen practicing to be the best counter surfer on the planet. An adopter will need to work on his manners, but he’s smart and learns quickly. VERY food motivated. An owner surrender who was sequestered most of the time, Capt. Rogers did not go for walks in his former home. While he’s thrilled to be let out, he really pulls. He’s learning to be playful, and has discovered that butt scritches are wonderful. He’s all ready for an active family who will teach him how to be a joyful dog, and that there’s more to life than a laundry room.

Niko - 5.4 Month Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Yellow Male Puppy - Est available early June

Hi I'm Niko and my foster thinks I'm the most handsome guy ever!

I am 5 months old in people year's and I weigh around 35 lbs. My Foster Momma tells me how handsome I am 20 times a day!! She has even held me up to a mirror to show me, so it must be true!!! My previous life started out pretty "Ruff"! I was left alone and scared out in the country. Unfortunately my siblings didn't make it.

I have been enjoying the last week in The BIG D with My Foster Momma. She says I'm more entertaining than TV!! She thinks I would be best with a family with older children since I am still teething but that should end soon. I hope The Tooth Fairy brings me some more stuffed animals! Speaking of stuffed animals,I love them so much! I have a great assortment but I would say Lampchop and Mr.Giraffe are my favorite.

I can sit,stay and of course come when I'm called. I am a really good boy. I go in "My House" that's what we call my kennel when I am asked and I never cry. I sleep through the night like a baby!!! (Oh that's right I am a baby)! I walk great on a leash and love to check out the scenery. We have rabbits in the neighborhood but I'm not interested. I am super friendly and let anyone give me a belly even if they don't offer. As much as I enjoy going for walks I prefer to do "My Business" in "The Park". That's what we call the dog run. I do know what go outside and potty means.

I am ready to find my FURever Home. I promise to love you to my paws and back!
