Abby (#170439) & Banks (#170438)

Abby is a 9 yr old black spayed female and Banks is a 6 yr old chocolate male.  Abby weighs 58 lbs and Banks weighs 84 lbs.  They are up to date on vaccinations and both are heartworm negative.  Abby and Banks are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.  They are unknown with cats and are approved for ages 5 and up.  Banks is a big hunk of chocolate love. He would give kisses all day if he could. Abby is more reserved, and just seems to wants a quiet spot to hang out, and get some loving on her time. They are both food-motivated, although I've had a hard time trying to work with them because they get so excited when treats are involved (and I have a hard time getting one without the other.) They ignore shoes, laundry on the floor in the laundry room, papers, mail, trash, recycling, boxes, etc.) While they still haven't really figured out the dog beds, they don't tear them up either. They are both very easy to walk with a leash on a collar. They rarely pull, and never very hard. I walk them together all the time. They don't move very fast. They have met many dogs up at our local park and are friendly with all dogs and people we have met. They don't seem to know any commands, but are eager to please. They are just laid back country dogs looking for a little love.

Ace is house trained, sleeps in a crate at night, and has been spending time in an outdoor kennel during the day. He has some very basic leash manners, and will benefit from formal training. Ace can jump a six foot fence if he's bored, but isn't inclined to if his humans are playing and engaging with him, so he should never be left unattended in the yard. He just loves other pups; and lives with a female lab.

This smart fellow is a dream on the leash, prances for treats, plays wonderfully with his foster-pack and eats treats gently like a pro. He loves to be with the pack, even cramming into his foster momma's room at night to be where his pals are. Alvan knows some basic tricks and has also already picked up 'your bed', 'shake' and 'where's your toy'. The merits of this smart guy are too numerous- most of all, he is a loving, gentle, devoted pup who likes to be snuggled. Oh, and handsomely fetching with his reddish-blonde coat and goofy grin.

She has a nice Lablean which she uses if you aren't given her enough attention. Likes to go for car rides. She would like an active family that has a yard for her to play in and will give her the attention and exercise she needs.

Update from Bama's foster family Jul 31, 2017:

Bama says, I'm a catch! I'm the perfect companion. I love going for walks and am a dream on a leash. I love every dog I meet. I'm stuck like glue to my humans, I'm house and crate trained. Won't you give this sweet boy a chance?

Bastian is a 4 yr old yellow neutered male.  He weighs 51 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  He is good with dogs but unknown with cats.  Bastian is approved for ages 10 and up.  He seems to know some commands, but may need a refresher on housebreaking.  He likes to chew some so he will need to be watched. He was good in the car and not too bad on a leash, for never having been on one.  He's looking for a furever family to give him lots of love, attention and plenty of exercise.

He is looking for a family that will give him plenty of attention, love and training. He must have a fenced yard or he might wander off.

Bob (#170018)

Bob is a 4 yr old neutered black male.  He weighs 55 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations.  He was heartworm positive and now has completed his treatment and is beginning his post treatment rest period.  Bob is easy going dog that loves to be with you.  So far he hasn't been interested in playing with toys or retrieving but that will come with time now that he is with Lab Rescue.  Bob is very interested in food but he is very polite about it: he doesn't guard his food, doesn't beg and didn't countersurf at their home.  He doesn't like any fruits or vegetables- raw or cooked- and will spit them out.  He was not always gentle when taking treats, so his owners need to figure out which way works best and be consistent.  He is a quiet dog and rarely barks inside, but may whine if there is something he wants.   Bob loves his walks- almost as much as food. He will bark at other dogs- but not in an aggressive way- and after he does bark, he has a little swagger in his step.  He does have a penchant for dirty socks, so he is a constant reminder to pick up after yourself. He isn't destructive but may stop and taste something that looks interesting, so he does need toys and needs to be taught which things do belong to him.  He is a delightful dog, full of personality who loves to be with you.  He would love a family that has a house with a yard they can play with her in and give him the love and attention he deserves.

Update from Bob's Foster Family - Jul 30, 2017: Bob is a happy and affectionate guy now that he had some time to settle in. He loves going for walks and dances and prances the moment you touch the leash. On walks he keeps a good pace and he will pull when he sees a critter worthy of chasing! He is a smart guy. His foster dad started using the back door. After two walks he now heads to the back door for outings! In the house, Bob is mostly a low key and quiet guy except for pre-walk excitement, when he hears or sees something he feels the need to comment on, and when he sees rabbits or squirrels in the yard. He is not sure about ceiling fans, flashlight, and such and he will let you know. Bob loves treats and he will show you his sit, paw, and down commends. He is happy to repeat the tricks if you have more treats! Bob loves to be with his humans and snuggles nicely in bed. He waited to be asked to get in the bed but now knows it is his place. Bob does not like when others touch his food bowl so he would do best in an adult-only and solo dog household. 

Update from Bob's Foster Family - May 27, 2017: Bob is very calm and quiet in the house. He will occasionally bark to let you know something is happening outside. He knows the commands sit, down, and shake a paw. He is so eager to go outside he dances at the door when you are hooking up his leash. He is good on leash except when he sees a little critter! Then he bounces and pulls with excitement! Bob is very snuggly at bedtime and sleeps soundly through the night until you wake up. He will hang out with you when you are home and come over to get some petting when you call him. Bob can be shy when you first meet him but he is quite affectionate once he gets to know you.

Butch is a 10 year old black neutered male.  He weighs 93 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  He is good with dogs but unknown with cats.  Butch is approved for ages 10 and up.  Butch is a strikingly handsome and sprite guy looking for an amazing family to show him the golden years. Butch is very affectionate and fits the term lap dog, he really doesn't know his size! He loves ear rubs and likes to give kisses. He enjoys trips to the dog parks and likes to retrieve and swim. He is house trained and crate trained but hasn't used the crate in some time and doesn't need it. He walks well on leash but is very social and loves to say hi to other dogs. He knows basic commands.

Butch will do best in a home with carpeted floors or with carpet runners. He'd also needs a home with few stairs.

Update from Butch's foster family:
July 22, 2017: Butch is such a sweet gentleman. He enjoys tennis balls (especially his squeaky kong) and being with his humans. He's very good on a lead, does well on walks, and is amazingly calm. Watch Butch at July's adoption event.

He thinks giving you a Lablean is the best way to get his back and butt scratched. He isn't big on retrieving, will go see what you tossed but doesn't bring it back all the time. He takes treats gently, likes to be petted and loves belly rubs. He needs to have a home with a fenced yard so he can get exercise playing with his owners without wandering off.

Not sure who is the boss as they take turns. Cooper is now the first to chase after a toy but Harley will bring it back. They were very shy when they first came in but that was to be expected, the only place they have been was their home. Harley was the first to come up and get attention and let me pet her, now Cooper will push his way to get in front of her. They are bonded and will let you know when one is not close by. They would like to have a family that is active and can give them love, attention, training and exercise so they will thrive. They need a fenced yard as they have never been in a home without one.

Dixie #3 (#170292)

Dixie is a 12 yr old black spayed female.  She weighs 74 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  She is good with dogs and cats and is approved for ages 7 and up.  Dixie is a gentle and sweet girl whose life has been turned upside down by the death of her owner. She really craves attention and reassurance, but her confidence is beginning to return and she is starting to show a little interest in exploring on her own when outside. Her hind legs are a little wobbly; she can't handle slippery floors, so area runners are needed in those areas. She is excellent on a leash and immediately responds if called, though she's rarely more than a few feet away. Dixie doesn't pay any attention at all to the resident dogs; people are what matter to her. Ideal situation for her would be a calm environment and a person/people with lots of time to lavish attention on her, few stairs and no slippery floors. She doesn't want or need a lot of exercise, so a small yard or even no yard but a few short walks daily would be OK for her, skipping dog parks which may be too much action for her.

Dottie (#170303)

Dottie is a 10 yr old black spayed female.  She weighs 91 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  She is good with dogs andcats and must go to a home with another dog.  Dottie is approved for ages 10 and up.  Dottie has been wonderful. She is a sweetheart. Dottie has been left out in the house while we were at work and didn't pull a thing out of place. She was friendly when the dog walker stopped in to let her out and was a perfect guest visiting foster grandparents this weekend. She is pretty good on leash, despite her size. She doesn't pull and seems to enjoy walks. She chased a bunny in the yard and was eyeing up some squirrels and would have chased them if she was off leash. Dottie gets along fine with the resident dog and cat. She snoozes a lot, generally on the dog bed or floor, but she has scrambled onto the couch twice. Dottie does fine in the car, no trouble or reluctance to travel. Also was a trooper when we took her to the dog salon for a bath, a little reluctant to walk up the ramp but once in the tub, she was resigned to the bath and very cooperative. Dottie is just such a sweetheart, she is super friendly, calm demeanor, and very easy going. Loves to get scratches, especially on her belly!
Update from Dottie's Foster Family - May 11, 2017: Dottie is a friendly, outgoing, and happy-go-lucky girl. She used to live in a home with other dogs, so she needs to be adopted with another dog. She is housetrained and is used to roam around in a yard. Dottie is good with cats. We don't have any kid history, so she's approved for kids 10 and up.

Update from Dottie's Foster Family - May 20, 2017: Dottie has added groundhogs to the animals she wants to keep your yard clear of. She came across a snake in the yard and was curious and sniffed it byt didn't feel obligated to confront it. . She's an adventurous gal! Dottie is looking forward to a weekend full of outside lounging (she lays in the grass when not sprinting after critters) and lots of belly rubs.

He had free roam of house for up to 8 hours a day. Make sure always that food is out of his way as he will eat whatever is out on the counters. He will sleep just outside of the kids' doors, will also sleep on the sofa, or in the beds with anyone of them.

He is a great dog who is looking forward to meeting his new family who has fenced yard so he can wander around and check for critters who shouldn't be there.

Emma (#170313)

Emma is a 2 1/2 yr old yellow spayed female.  She weighs 50 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  She is good with dogs but unknown with cats.  Emma is approved for ages 10 and up.  Emma is a very nice dog and with some more training she will be a great one. She will have a training addendum. Will chase a ball and bring it back once in a while. She is a very sweet dog and will make some lucky family a super companion. She is house trained and will go stand by the door to go out. She was allowed on furniture and slept on the couch. She needs to be watched when alone as she still likes to chew on some things mostly paper inside and branches and pieces of wood outside. She is pretty good at un-stuffing stuffed animals. She would love a home with a yard so she can run and stretch her legs while she plays. She needs either a physical or underground fence.

Aug 16, 2017: Emma will need to continue with her training and being a young lab, will need lots of interactive exercise to tire out her mind and body. She does know her basic commands and is house- and crate-trained. She does still find things to chew when bored, so she will need to be watched. She desperately wants to play with other dogs, so she might be a candidate for a couple days of doggie day care each week. We did find out that Lucy does like the water and spent time sitting on the steps of the pool; she wasn't much of a retriever, but she wasn't afforded much, if any, interactive exercise.

Homer is a 2 yr old black neutered male.  He weighs 42 lbs, is up to date on vaccinations and is heartworm negative.  He is good with dogs but unknown with cats.  Homer is approved for ages 10 and up.   Homer was so scared when he arrived he had to be carried to the car from the kennel. He shook for hours. He went into the crate at home and I had to pick him up to get him to go outside. The next morning my son was loving him inside the crate and then backed up 10 feet and called him and he came out. Only for a few minutes the first time but now he would rather be out with his people than in the crate. He is so gentle and good with the little and big dog. Really doesn't engage with them at all but does look to them for guidance from time to time. Outside can be a little scary but every day he gets a little more comfortable. He is so sweet and loves to be close to you.

Kevin (#170241)

Kevin is 4 year old black male, who weighs 46 lbs. He's up to date on his vaccines, and came to us heartworm positive.  He has been treated by Lab Rescue, and is officially done with his required rest period! (Hooray for Kevin!)  Kevin will need a home with a physical fence. He's approved for kids 10 and up, good with other dogs, but is not a fan of cats. He does ok on a leash, and in his crate, and loves car rides.  He has an exuberant personality, and loves running and playing with people and other dogs.  He enjoys toys but still isn't sure what to do with them, so he will need a family who can help him learn how to be part of family, and channel his labby energy.  He is still learning commands, and his ideal family will have the time and experience to help him come into his own.

Update from Kevin's foster on August 20, 2017: Sweet Kevin has been cleared to play after his HW Treatment!! He is such a happy boy who loves to romp and play with his toys!! After spending much of his early life in a pen with no attention, this boy thrives on human attention and did I mention he LOVES toys? He loves them so much that he needs to be the only dog as he does not want to share- I don't blame him - he just discovered them! He is good with other dogs on walks, at the vet etc., just wants to be the king of his castle and have all the toys for himself!! Kevin is a 4 year old sweet guy who is so ready for his furever family!! 

Update from Kevin's foster on Aug 10, 2017: Kevin is just about finished with his Hw treatment recovery - Yay! This sweet boy has come such a long way and would love a furever family of his own. He is good with other dogs but with his newfound love of toys that he never had before, he would probably like to be the only pup in his house so he does not have to share his toys. He has come to really love human affection, a total 180 from when he first came to us! 

Update from Kevin's foster on July 1, 2017: Kevin continues to grow and blossom. His manners are improving every day and he really enjoys playing with and receiving love and attention and petting now! What a difference some TLC makes in the life of a pup!

Update from Lucky's foster family Aug 2, 2017:
Lucky has been great ever since he got him in the car. He's a great car rider and gets in and lays down on the floor. Didn't seem to care for the window all too much. He is strong and walks best with a harness. Lucky is extremely responsive to the command "no", and already doing better with "sit" since he has been here a few hours. He is crate trained and so far doesn't mind being in there to test it out. Lucky is a good eater. He seems house trained as well! Someone is really going to love this dog. In 5 hours, we already think he's pretty amazing. He does like to follow you where ever you go, and he is a sweet little shadow.

Update from Paul's foster on August 9, 2017: Paul is a sweetheart with his tail always wagging. He loves people, typically staying close to wherever you're sitting. He is very laid back, except when he hears the sound of a bag of something being opened that might be food. He takes lots of naps but enjoys walks outside. He doesn't pull.

Update from Peanut Butter's foster on Jul 2, 2017: Peanut Butter is doing great and is really getting more energy every day. He's enjoying longer walks and playing fetch. He's been sleeping on a bed in the living room instead of his crate and has had zero accidents. He isn't a real fan of stairs that don't have carpet so a home with hardwood stairs or a lot of deck stairs probably won't work for him. He's very easy going and just wants attention and comfy spot to take naps in the sun. He enjoys being out on the deck and napping and just watching the birds out the front door. He hung out with some cats and small dogs this weekend and was great with all of them.
