Adopt

Hi there! I’m Alfie!
I’m about a year old, which means I’m basically a goofy toddler
in dog form. I also have something called Megaesophagus — fancy
word, right? It just means I eat my meals in my special chair (don’t
worry, it comes with me!) and then I hang out there for about 20 minutes like
a tiny king on his throne. Foster Mom and I are practicing, so the chair
feels less like a weird robot and more like a chill hangout spot.

I’m a small Lab mix who had a pretty rough beginning, so I’m
still figuring out this whole “trusting humans” thing. But
I’m trying! And guess what? I’m playful when the mood strikes,
but I’m also totally cool with relaxing like a pro.

Morning walks? LOVE THEM. I don’t pull, I enjoy the scenery,
and meeting other dogs is basically my favorite hobby. Friendly dogs =
instant best friends. People without dogs? Ehh… kinda spooky. But if
they come with teeny-tiny treats, I can be persuaded to warm up.

Since I didn’t get to do normal puppy stuff, I’m learning now
— and wow, squeaky toys are AMAZING. I mostly keep the
stuffing inside the toys… mostly.
Foster Mom says I’m very curious. Cupboards? Fascinating. The fridge
and freezer? Absolute wonderlands. I don’t take anything out — I
just like to browse. I’m also a big fan of car rides. Zoom zoom!

The one thing I do not vibe with? The vacuum. I bite it. It
deserves it. But I’m perfectly fine chilling in my crate while Foster
Mom battles the beast.

Meet Bagel! The smallest boy of the Breakfast Club litter born on
June 19, 2026. This silver boy loves people and dogs. Bagel is playful,
feisty, full of personalityand wants to be under your feet and in the action.
At just shy of 8 weeks old he is almost ready to join your family as a Foster
To Adopt pup. DLRR will cover his neuter In October 2026 at one of our
partner vets as well as the remainder of his puppy vaccines. He'll
be ready to take home this Saturday. If your family is ready to welcome
an active, fun-loving Labrador puppy into your home, we'd love to hear
from you! 

I’m  Buddy!

Here’s my story, as best as can be pieced together, since I
can’t really relay in words!

I was found as a stray and taken to the Yuma Shelter, and DLRR was able to
rescue me and help me find my  forever family! The folks at DLRR think
that most likely I was adopted as a tiny puppy and just put out into a yard
with no training…and when I got bigger my family just abandoned
me.

Nonetheless, I am the sweetest,  most lovable, most
 “licking-ist” guy around and my sad past has not damped my
spirit and my love of meeting new people and new dogs! In fact, my entire
body wiggles back and forth – seriously, my tail is definitely wagging
this dog!

I am about 1.5 years old, weighs a trim 61 lbs. and have a glossy coat,
huge ears, two cute little scraggly bottom teeth and a wide grin!

Here’s the deal, I am, like most people and dogs, a work in
progress. I am a very excited high energy boy, my foster mom takes me for
long, fast walks and I am still energetic when we arrive home! I am learning
to be ok, but just ok, in the crate.  I would much rather cuddle up to
you in bed or on the sofa!  I am learning where to do my business, ha ha
 – and as I have been in a real foster home for a few days I am getting
better and better at it!  I am a smart boy and have taken well to
working on learning  all of the finer etiquette tricks!
   

I take treats gently and I am not particularly treat motivated…and
I  do zig-zag on the leash.  I am not reactive to other dogs or
people walking by, I just mind my own business;  I need a bit more
confidence to jump in the car (a little boost for now is best!) but once in
the car I ride like a true gentleman!

I will not lie – I will need a lot of attention and training,
I’m basically a big puppy and haven’t seen a lot in life, so I do
need to be introduced to new things and to learn how to behave – I am
trying hard not be mouthy, or to jump or paw at people.  An adopter who
is into training and teaching and exercising me would be the best thing!
 

I would do well in a home where I  have a buddy to play and teach me
the ropes! Given my age and athletic build, I would make a perfect walking
and hiking companion – which, as we know, helps burn off puppy
energy… just sayin’!!!

If you are interested in more about me, please reach out to my Foster
Advocate via text!

Meet Louie – Your heart of tongue and gold. 

Louie is a 1 year old yellow Lab mix with the cutest face and a heart
that is 100% pure sunshine. His tongue proves how big his heart is. 

This sweet boy had a rough detour when he was dumped outside a homeless
shelter, but thankfully kind volunteers knew immediately—this was a dog
who just needed a second chance.

When Louie first arrived, he was a little unsure of the world
(under-socialized , no house training, structure or leadership) but oh my
goodness… once he warms up, his zest for life absolutely shines. He is
full of joyful enthusiasm, curiosity, and tail-wagging optimism. He is a
little hesitant at first with small children, though does warm up when he can
come to them and then opens right up. 

He has been in a home with a trainer and has mastered his basic training
and better life skills and house manners. He gets along best with female dogs
and any dog in general who is on the calmer side. Louie would also be
perfectly fine as an only dog as long as balls, treats and love are provided.
He has a very playful demeaner, well mannered and also treadmill
trained. Louie came down with an acute medical issue that has
mostly resolved. His Foster Mom will happily dicuss with you and his
ongoing care. 

Louie LOVES:

Playing fetch with a ball

Hiking and outdoor adventures

Playing fetch with a ball

Snuggling up with his humans after a full day of fun

Water play with a hose

Playing fetch with his ball

Belly rubs 

Playing fetch with his ball…

Louie is looking for a home who will invest in his continued training
and guide him as he grows into the incredible adult dog he’s meant to
be. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, laughter, adventure, and the
sweetest snuggles.

If you’re ready for a wonderful sidekick with endless love and
a joyful spirit, Louie is waiting. 

Meet Tater! This playful black girl from the Breakfast Club
litter born on June 19, 2026 is looking for her forever home. Tater is very
playful and runs right up for cuddles. She loves being held so snuggling is
one of her favorite pastimes. 

At just shy of 8 weeks old she is almost ready to join your family as a
Foster To Adopt pup. DLRR will cover her spay In October 2026 at one of our
partner vets as well as the remainder of her puppy vaccines. She will be
ready to go home this Saturday. If your family is ready to welcome an active,
fun-loving Labrador puppy into your home, we'd love to hear from you!

Wally is a very goofy 11 month old neutered Black Labrador puppy! He
is on the smaller side weighing about 65 pounds and uses every ounce of it to
love on everyone. He enjoys making friends with any person or dog he comes
across! While he is still learning some basic obedience he is very eager to
learn and loves to be praised. He is potty trained and does good in a kennel,
he does however still need some work on leash! Wally would love an active
lifestyle where he can continue his socialization with people and dogs. He
came from a home with older children, 8 and above, Wally should not be
in a home with small children as he may knock them down.  He would
also love a home to unwind and cuddle with his person after a long day of
playing! We don't know how he would be with cats. He does
LOVE water, He listens well and rides very well in the car, just a
little hesitant to get in but once in he just lies down. Please contact me if
Wally is the Lab you have been looking for.
