Adopt

“Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”

Ready to find your new best friend? Please see our Adoption Information page and complete an adoption application.

The Dog-a-Log showcases adoptable Labs with their bios from DLRR and foster families. It is emailed only to approved adopters. To inquire or meet a Lab, contact the listed foster.

At this time, we are only able to place dogs within the State of Arizona. Because we are an Arizona-based, all-volunteer organization, our process requires in-state home visits, meet-and-greets, and ongoing local support.

Alfie

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.

Amber

Meet Amber, an 11 year old Yellow/Red Spayed female, and the sweetest
senior Lab you will ever meet. She came to us after her owner who had her
since a puppy, passed away. Her previous home had several other animals
from cats, dogs and even a rabbit that she did fine with, Amber enjoys
going for short walks and lots of naps. She is not a jumper, and greets
everyone that comes to the door. Amber is not a barker. For a gal her age her
mobility is good and may become even better if she were to lose a few pounds.
She enjoys being with "her people" and will follow you
throughout the day, ready for pets any time and she responds well to her
name. She enjoys her walks and doesn't pull, likes to sniff and
greets people and animals in passing. She is housebroken and will go to the
door when she needs to go out. Amber can be trusted alone and does not
destroy anything. She will greet you when you come back with a wagging
tail. If you are looking for an easy going sweet companion please consider
giving Amber a loving home.

Louie

Meet Louie – Your heart of tongue and gold. 

Louie is a 1 year and two months 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 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.

Lucky

Lucky is an 8-year-old, 80-pound Lab mix with a shiny black coat, warm
brown eyes, enormous paws, and the happiest Lab smile you’ve ever
seen!

Don’t let his age fool you—Lucky has a goofy, puppy-like
spirit and an exuberant love of life. He absolutely LOVES people and wants to
be wherever his humans are. Affectionate, fun, and enthusiastic, he’s
always ready to join in on whatever adventure is happening.

Lucky enjoys going for walks, playing fetch, and, just as much, settling
in nearby with a good bone to chew. Car rides? Yes, please! He loves hopping
in for a ride and being part of the action. He’s housebroken, knows
some basic commands, takes treats gently, and is smart and eager to please.
Whether he’s out exploring or relaxing at home, Lucky is happiest by
his family’s side.

Lucky has always been an only dog and has grown accustomed to having all
the love and attention to himself. He would be happiest continuing that
lifestyle as his family’s one-and-only, where he can soak up all the
affection he loves so much.

If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving Lab with a goofy spirit, a
huge heart, and a zest for life, Lucky might just be your guy.

He’s ready for his next chapter—and he’d love nothing
more than to spend it with you.
