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 Charley, a 7 month old, petite, charcoal puppy.  She is 45 lbs
of total sweetness!  Rescued from a bad situation by a good Samaritan,
Charley was surrendered to DLRR because her owner worked long hours and felt
she couldn’t give Charley enough attention.  Everyone who meets
this adorable dog falls in love immediately!  For a puppy, her house
behaviors are really good—she is happy to occupy herself playing with
squeaky toys (occasionally performing surgery on them) and chewing on
bones.  If she does pick up the odd no-no item like a tissue from the
trash or a sock, she gives it up quickly.  Charley crates easily and
sleeps through most nights with only the occasional trip outside.  She
is incredibly affectionate –she loves pets and will soak up as many as
you can give.  She also gives great kisses!  It seems Charley
hasn’t been exposed to a lot outside of a house because on walks she is
easily startled by cars, bikes, lawn workers, etc. but she recovers
fast.  She loves her walks and is easy on the leash.  She has met
children ages 17 months and 5 years and was very gentle, giving sweet licks
to both, but she was definitely in their faces which was bothersome to
them.  Older children would be ideal for her.  Charley would really
love to have a canine companion to teach her the ropes and to play with and
she is also playful with cats.  Please text her foster if you would like
to meet her!

Meet Duncan, a 5-year-old Labrador mix with a big heart and an even bigger
love for his people! At about 65 pounds, this lean, confident boy is
affectionate, eager to learn, and always happy to earn a treat—or
simply soak up some love and attention.

Duncan already knows how to sit, lay down, and shake, and he’s
continuing to work on his basic obedience. He’s also potty trained and
does great in his kennel!

His ideal home would be one that enjoys an active lifestyle, outdoor
adventures, and plenty of cuddle time afterward. If you’re looking for
a loyal adventure buddy who’s just as happy snuggling up at the end of
the day, Duncan may be your perfect match! 

Hi guys, Flash here.  Let's get real, how many times are you
going to find a handsome, purebred male English Lab in their prime (5 yrs
old) on this site?   I love hanging around older kids and dogs, not
too sure about cats yet, but I'm open to a meet.  I ride great in
the car, wouldn't think of doing my business inside and pretty much just
enjoy life with my people.

To be completely transparent, I've been told that jumping when I meet
new people and taking items off of counters/tables (I don't damage them,
just want to check them out) are not my best qualities.  Also, my
previous family kinda let my weight get higher than it should be, but
I've already started a new diet and look forward to beginning a strong
exercise program.  I'm thinking with your help I should have
everything back in shape by year-end.

Trust me, I'm eager to work on my weaknesses, but I'm even more
anxious to show all my love for my new family.  What do you say,
let's meet and start something truly special! 

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

Lucky may be 8, but he definitely hasn’t outgrown his goofy,
puppy-like Lab spirit. This affectionate, people-loving boy adores his humans
and wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. Whether he’s
following you around the house or relaxing on his favorite place, Lucky is
happiest when he’s near his people.

He’s housebroken, knows his basic commands, and is a smart,
treat-motivated boy who is eager to learn. He takes treats very gently and
loves going for walks and getting out to explore. His leash manners could use
a little polishing—he can get excited and pull when something catches
his attention—but with consistency, positive reinforcement, and his
favorite treats, Lucky should make great progress.

Lucky also has a big personality and a big Lab voice to match! He can be
wonderfully vocal when he gets excited, and he’s always enthusiastic
about toys, treats, adventures, and time with his people.

Lucky may be happiest as the only dog in his home, where he can soak up
all the attention and enjoy being his family’s one-and-only. His ideal
family will appreciate his zest for life, continue building on his training,
and enjoy having a loyal, affectionate companion by their side.

Lucky is ready for his next chapter—and he’s hoping it
includes a comfy bed, plenty of treats, some good walks, and people to love.
Could you be his forever family?
