Rowdy came in to rescue by way of the local shelter when his time ran out. Often Labs that come in to rescue don’t have a lot of training. They are more often than not unneutered as well – hence, the reason they end up at the shelter to begin with! Unneutered Labs this age are looking for love in all the wrong places.

Rowdy is a super friendly, sweet guy. He gets along with other dogs and didn’t quite know what that cat was…but didn’t want anything to do with it either! Rowdy is working on walking nicely on leash and rides pretty well in the car. He has a ton of energy and would love an active family to help him burn some of that off. He wouldn’t mind a doggie buddy to play with either. Rowdy is a very handsome young guy who likes affection and is attentive. He would do very well with positive reinforcement training. We are still getting to know this boy and will update about him soon…if he lasts that long.

Love is blind~

What kind of people would dump this beautiful girl on the streets to fend for herself along with her puppies? Can you imagine how hard it was for Dulcey? We cannot imagine how she survived trying to find food and protect her babies because Dulcey is almost completely BLIND. She was picked up by animal control and taken to what must have been an even more terrifying place, loud and frightening – - Lab Rescue rushed to save her.

After getting to her safe place in foster care, Dulcey’s beautiful personality really came to light. Dulcey enjoys the companionship of other dogs and is curious about the cat, but the foster mom is working with her on that. She’s a sweetheart that is not clingy but she LOVES, LOVES when you pet her – she smiles and wags her happy tail. Dulcey is a beautiful young Lab with a classic square head. She’s on the smaller side and has a lovely girlish figure. Her blindness is most likely congenital, so sad for a young loving dog like Dulcey. She gets around quite well though, using the doggie door to reliably go outside to eat, drink and go potty. She enjoys playing tug-of-war and wrestling with the other dogs. She rides well in the car and her foster is working on getting in and out of the car. For the most part, a visually impaired dog is not that much different than a sighted one. When a dog loses their sight (or was not born with sight) they come to rely on their other senses and often times these senses become even keener over time.

It’s not easy for a special-needs girl like her to find a special, compassionate person to love her. But that doesn’t get her down. She knows the right person will come along. If Dulcey could tell you what she wants most, she would say, “Help me, be patient with me, understand me, take the time to love me, accept me for who I am.”

Dug was rescued from a shelter in Visalia when his time ran out. The picture in the car is the day he was “sprung” – he was so happy! At 117 pounds, Dug’s very overweight and needs to be put on doggie weight watchers. Either he was ignored and they were free feeding him (big no no with Labs) or he got LOTS of table scraps, we really don’t know. But what we do know is that Dug has a wonderful temperament. He was around a 2-1/2 year old and did very well. Dug seems to especially love men. He gets along with other dogs, ignores cats, is house trained and knows “sit” and “down”. He’s super responsive to doggie treats (go figure). He really likes to go for a walk and has a lot of energy; pulls a little at first because he’s excited, but when corrected he listens well and settles down for a nice stroll. Dug rides well in the car and loves his crate, especially when there’s a doggie pillow inside. When the door is left open he still goes in and snuggles down on his pillow. If the door is closed he will bark to go potty! Dug LOVES to walk around with a ball. He also loves squeaky toys, but will shred them rather quickly, so a KONG would be great for him. Dug is so loving and people oriented that it would be a shame for him to spend long days by himself. Once Dug drops his extra pounds, he’ll be just about perfect! Dug is anxiously waiting for his new forever home.

Lennon came to us from a local shelter where he came in as an underweight stray. He’s a bouncy ball-obsessed sweet boy that just wants to play fetch and snuggle. Lennon acts more like a younger Lab with lots of energy. He is very much your “stereotypical” Lab – loyal and playful. Lennon requires a sturdy fence high enough to keep this boy from visiting the neighbors. Some of this will probably be alleviated once he’s neutered, as this is exactly the reason there are so many stray dogs! He loves the car, gets along with other dogs and cats. He definitely needs some leash work, but listens well and is beginning to learn all his puppy manners with his foster family. Lennon would need an active family who will continue his training. Children five and up is better, as he could accidentally knock a smaller child down. We’ll update this about this handsome young boy as we get to know him better.

I rescued Bella from the SPCA. She is a sweet 20 month old black lab mix. Bella is current on all her shots and is spayed. Bella has alot of energy and LOVES to be with people. She is a little timid to get to know new people but she is a sweet loving dog. I have two small dachsuhunds that she adores. Unfortunately Bella is too rough for them. They weigh 9 lbs, Bella weighs 35 lbs. Bella sleeps inside at night and is house broken. Bella is good around children too. Please contact me if you are interested in Bella. She would make a great addition to your family.

Hi, I am Trapper! I was born in September of 2010 and I’m a fun loving Labrador puppy. Yes, I am a puppy and full of energy and love to play with my foster parents and their other dogs (I play well, as they have four other Labs). The other dogs have helped me with my potty training, and I have gotten real good at it, as I no longer have any accidents and I even wake them up at night if I really have to go out. They have also taught me how to play games with them, I really like to play tug-a-war with them. I also like to chase the ball and am learning to bring it back, I even play ball by myself – which everybody thinks is funny, I don’t know why. I walk well on leash and also love to ride in the car. If you are looking for a good companion, I am the one you want as my foster parents will tell you! I like to follow them everywhere and when I’m not playing, I like to lay near where ever they are. I also like to sleep right next to their bed at night as I really like being with my people. I have been taught so much so far that I now know sit and am pretty darn good at lay down. I am starting to work on stay. I just need someone to give lots of love and contnue working with me. I can promise that you will not be sorry for adopting me. I would really like nothing more than to have my own family for the New Year.

Millie, a sweet girl, needs her forever home! She is a 5 year old lab mix who thinks that she is a lap dog! She LOVES people and is always looking to snuggle. She would do best with a loving owner with a backyard (she loves to people watch from my balcony). She prefers to be the only dog in the house and often does not get along with other dogs so it is best to avoid dog parks. I adopted Millie from the pound, so I do not know her history. For unforeseen reasons, I can no longer keep Millie and I need to find her a new home so she does not go back to the pound. If you are interested in meeting this sweet girl, and you can provide a calm loving environment for her, please call Chelsea at 619-719-0443.

I’m including some pictures for you of a trip we took last month with Buddy in “duck country” up North. He loved fetching the ball in the tall grass on our friends property. He wore us out!

Sincerely,
Tammie
