Adopt

Hi there! I’m Alfie!
I’m about one year old and 3 months 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!

Interested? Contact my Foster Mom.

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.

Meet Dodger — A Sweet Boy Looking for His Second Chance 

Sometimes, dogs find themselves needing a new home through absolutely no
fault of their own. That is the heartbreaking situation Dodger is facing.

Dodger was originally adopted from DLRR in January 2021. Sadly, his
beloved owner recently passed away, and no one in the family is able to
provide the care and attention Dodger needs. After losing the person he knew
and loved, Dodger is now looking for a new forever family to help him
begin the next chapter of his life.

Dodger is a handsome 6-year-old yellow male who is smart, non-destructive,
and a loyal companion. He is house trained, knows basic commands and is
easily redirected, he can get a little jumpy when excited. He rides well in
the car, walks nicely on leash without pulling too hard, and is not
dog-reactive.  

Dodger's favorite activites include: fetch, daily walks, and swimming.
He has a nice demeanor and when anxious is vocal, to
let you know he needs some extra attention.  Dodger would
do best with adopters who are able to provide exercise,
companionship, structure, and TLC.  He also has Valley Fever, so
his forever family will need to understand and be prepared to manage this as
part of his care.

Despite all the changes he has experienced, Dodger has so much love left
to give. He deserves the chance to feel safe, loved, and truly home
again. 

Meet Lucky! 

Lucky is an 8-year-old, 80-pound Lab mix with a shiny black coat, warm
brown eyes, enormous paws, and one of the happiest Lab smiles you’ll
ever see!

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

Walks? Absolutely! Fetch? He’s in! Car rides? YES, PLEASE! And if
you’re looking for a hiking partner, Lucky would love to hit the trails
with you. His dream home includes a big backyard where he can play fetch and
a family who enjoys keeping him involved in their lives.

Lucky is also a smart guy who loves learning. He has been taking training
lessons and is doing a fantastic job! He knows some basic commands and is
eager to please. As an added bonus, Lucky will come with a training lesson
when he’s adopted, giving his new family a chance to see what
he’s been learning and get tips for continuing his training.

Lucky has always been an only dog and is very comfortable being the center
of his family’s world. He would be perfectly happy continuing as his
family’s one-and-only. He may also enjoy a younger, energetic female
dog as a companion, with a proper introduction and the right match.

Lucky is housebroken, affectionate, smart, and full of personality.
Whether he’s chasing a ball, exploring a trail, riding in the car, or
showing off his training skills, he’s happiest when he’s included
in the fun.

If you’re looking for a big-hearted Lab with a goofy spirit, a huge
smile, and plenty of love and adventure to share, Lucky may be the perfect
match for you. 

Meet Roscoe! This handsome 9ish year-old chocolate boy has an otter tail
and is ready to find his forever home. Roscoe came to us from the Humane
Society as a stray but those days are over!

Roscoe’s absolute favorite things are playing fetch, being next to
his people, and his daily walks while he sniffs along the way.  Roscoe
is a wonderful house guest and a very relaxed guy. He gets along great with
his resident foster canine siblings and would be good with other dogs or as
an only dog.

• Housebroken 
• Sleeps all night in his dog bed
• Gentle and take treats nicely 
• Walks well on a leash, but is strong
• Rides well in the car
• Behaves when left alone
• Knows sit, shake, high five, down, drop

Roscoe is a good listener and likes to look at you when you talk to him.
He loves his humans, staying by our side most of the time. He would probably
do best in a quieter home since he is such a low maintenance guy and would
like someone that’s home most of the time.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get yourself one great
companion!  We love him! Please text Dennis 

Skylar (yellow) and Skittles (black) are a bonded pair of 9 year old,
spayed, female Labs. They came to DLRR after the death of their previous
owner. Both dogs are very easy going, sweet and gentle. They are house
broken, can use a doggy door, and they get along well with other dogs and
young children. We don’t know about their reactivity to cats. Feeding
time is Skittles’ favorite part of the day. She prances and follows the
bowls as they are put down and begins eating immediately. Skylar is more easy
going about meals and wants a pat on her head before she starts eating. They
love to go on walks and just hang out with their people. They can be left
alone, but of course would much rather have you around. They travel well in
the car. Besides going on walks and at meal time, their favorite activity is
exploring the yard and chasing the resident ground squirrels. Neither dog
likes to swim. They enjoy ear scratches, especially when you wake up in the
morning. Otherwise they are happy just being with you.

If you've never heard of ube, it's a vibrant purple yam that's
naturally sweet and shows up in everything from ice cream to lattes. Our Ube
isn't purple, but she's every bit as sweet, and honestly, she's
kind of a cute little yam herself.

We were lucky enough to scoop this girl up from the shelter and bring her
into DLRR, and we're so glad we did. Now we're looking for someone
who knows a sweet thing when they see one.

Ube is a 10-month-old yellow Lab/Retriever mix, about 42 pounds, with a
gorgeous coat and pearly white teeth. She's housebroken, kennel trained,
and walks right by your side on a leash. She still needs a little boost
getting into the car (she's learning!), but once she's in, she rides
beautifully. She's great with dogs, cats, and kids, and she's been
well-behaved and non-destructive when left alone for short periods. She loves
being outside, sniffing around, and soaking up the sunshine.

When the adventures wind down, Ube turns into a total cuddle bug.
She's pretty chill for a young Lab, so she's happy to hang out and
keep you company.

Sweet, easygoing, and a little bit of a treat, this yam is ready to find
her people. Could that be you?
