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.
Cassius
Cassius is a 10 week old black lab (mix) puppy. He has a heart of
gold. Loves to run and play. He is vocal when he wants to be pet. He would be
best in a home that will spend time to train him properly and give him the
attention he deseves. Cassius would do well with another dog that
could show him the ropes. He will go home with you as a foster to adopt
puppy. DLRR will cover all vaccines, neuter and microchip at one of their
partner vets. At 4 months old, once all vetting is done, we will complete the
adoption.
Coco Bean
Hey there friends! Coco Bean here. Let me introduce myself
to you. I'm a seasoned 9 yr. old chocolate gal with a super soft shiny
chestnut colored coat that shines in the sun. The neighbors always stop and
tell my foster mom how my coat is such a pretty brown. My birthday was Jan.
30th and I got a special treat of a McDonald's cheeseburger and Sonic ice
cream! I was so excited! Normally, I'm eating green beans,
blueberries, apples and baby carrots with my kibble cuz I'm a bit of a
full-figured gal. I'm doing good on my diet so I'm pretty pumped
about that! My foster mom and dad can't believe I'm 9 cuz I'm so
energetic and active. The only thing that gives me away is the tad bit of
grey around my muzzle. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to swim in the pool. My favorite
thing to do is retrieve tennis balls. I love to play catch at the park too.
I'm super fast and very athletic for a senior. I surprised my foster dad
when I hopped into his pick up truck without any help. I love to ride in the
car especially if I can hang my head out the window! I know sit, stay, come,
shake, and wait. I know how to use a doggie door. You can trust me in the
house by myself. I will just take a nap. I don't chew, dig or pick up
things off the floor. I take treats gently and will wait patiently for you to
feed me. I sleep all nite on my own couch in front of the picture window so I
can "protect" my people. I will let you know when the Amazon guy
shows up or any other visitors. Who needs a security system when you have me!
My foster mom says I'm not a normal Lab cuz I don't shed very much.
She's really happy about that! I'm pretty much perfect except, I
haven't been walked much on a leash so I get a little excited when I go
outside. I'm getting a LOT better and not pulling so much on my leash.
It's just so hard cuz there's sooo much to see and smell! I need to
be the only dog in the house because I want ALL the attention! I like other
dogs at the park or at a play date at a friends house, just not living in the
same house with me. If you would like to meet me contact my foster mom. I
can't wait to meet you! I will bring my tennis ball!
Hennessy
Meet Hennessy, a nine-year-old, 85-pound blonde Labrador with the heart of
an absolute teddy bear. Despite a traumatic and abusive past, Hennessy has
remained incredibly sweet, affectionate, and gentle—he’s a true
Velcro dog who follows his person from room to room and lives for cuddles and
quiet companionship. He can be a bit vocal at times, usually in short bursts
triggered by other dogs barking, but it’s brief and manageable.
Hennessy would thrive in a calm, low-key home and would do best as an only
dog, though he is generally friendly with other dogs and has done well with
kids; a home without children is preferred simply to keep his environment
peaceful.
Due to his past, he can be uneasy around aggressive male dogs, and while a
previous owner reported fear of men, he has since had positive, neutral
interactions with several men in his current home. Hennessy has arthritis in
his neck related to underlying intervertebral disc disease, which can cause a
limp or clumsy movement at times, but he is currently stable and doing well
on three medications. He rides beautifully in the car and, above all else,
just wants a soft place to land, steady love, and a family who will cherish
him as the loyal, loving soul he is.
Jax
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but Jax is
here to prove everyone wrong. Through no fault of his own, this handsome
fellow spent his life as an "outside-only" dog. Since joining his
foster home, he has officially traded the backyard for the big dog
bed—and he is loving every second of it!
Jax has made the transition to indoor life look easy. He is a total
"people-dog" who craves affection and will happily soak up all the
head scratches you’re willing to give. Despite his history, he’s
a true gentleman: he’s house-trained, crate-trained, and hasn't
shown a single destructive bone in his body.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join you on life’s
adventures, he’s your guy. He is excellent in the car, loves his walks,
and gets along famously with his foster dog siblings. He’s a fast
learner who already knows sit and lay down, and he’s currently
perfecting his "stay" (though he’d really rather just stay
right by your side).
Luna
Luna (20) is a 63 pound, 8 year old, spayed, female black lab with a big
heart – both figuratively and literally. She is shy at first and very timid,
but after a few weeks, she will come out of her shell and is really a very
sweet, loving, loyal dog. She loves to go on walks – although not very far –
and car rides, but mostly she loves just being with her people and getting
her ears, neck and belly rubbed. She is house trained and can be left alone
to her own devices for several hours. Her favorite toys are stuffies and toys
that squeak. If you toss a toy, she will saunter over to it, pick it up and
gently bring it back two or three times – and then she is done with that
game. She can use a doggy door, but prefers to go in and out the human door.
She is good with children and other dogs and is ambivalent about cats.
As noted above, her heart is enlarged and she has a significant heart
murmur. Her heart condition makes any surgery impossible unless it is for
life saving purposes. The vet has recommended that we monitor her respiration
while she is sleeping, and if it ever gets above 35 breaths per minute she
should be brought into the vet’s office immediately. Her current
sleeping respiration rate has stayed between 14 and 20. This condition is
currently stable and could remain so for several years. She is on a grain,
sweet potato, chicken, and legume diet, with no salt to support her heart
health This can be purchased premade or a recipe to make it can be provided.
She takes trazodone twice a day for anxiety and pimobendan twice a day for
her heart condition. These medications will need to be provided to her for
the duration of her life.
Mozi
Meet Mozi: Single 4.5-year-old chocolate Lab seeking loving family to
spend quality time together! I love snuggling, long walks through the
neighborhood, snuggling, playing with my toys (especially my stuffed toys),
snuggling, hunting for socks, snuggling, taking naps, snuggling, playing with
my foster sister, and snuggling. Nothing fills my heart more than spending
time with the people that I love! I do not love cats, spending time alone, or
the vet but I do love car rides and sleeping in my crate. I’m very
well-mannered! Of course, I’m house trained and you should be
too! I’m seeking a family that is home the majority of the time so that
we can snuggle! All of my friends say that I am the sweetest and most
enjoyable, easy-going companion and that any family would be so lucky to have
an amazing girl like me!
I am also so special that I come with my own chair to eat in! It’s
true! I call her Bailey because it’s my Bailey chair for my
megaesophagus. I love sitting in her to have my meals and hang out with my
foster family for a while after I eat. I know that my foster mom would be so
happy to show you how easy it is and how much fun I have in it!
Nichols
I’m Nichols, a mixed chocolate lab, around 10 yrs. old and weigh 88
pounds. I was found as a stray in southern Arizona and when they discovered I
was on the euthanasia list, DLRR saved my life! My foster parents call me
Bear because I have very large paws and a beautiful brown coat.My foster
parents say I am one of the sweetest and most mellow dogs they’ve
fostered. They call me a gentle giant! I do need to lose a couple more
pounds, but have lost 6 pounds already. I love my daily walks and only need
to go about a mile or so and I’m happy.
If you’re looking for an easy guy, then I’m for you! Let me
list the reasons my foster parents love me and can’t think of anything
they don’t love about me!
- I am well behaved when left alone
- Housebroken
- No counter surfing or getting on the furniture
- I sleep all night
- I love my walks every day, but otherwise just enjoy lounging with my
humans - Walk nicely on a leash and non-reactive to other dogs
- Dog friendly
- Kid friendly
- Enjoy car rides
I am a good listener and really love my humans, staying by their side most
of the time. I would probably do best in a quieter home since I’m such
a mellow boy. I haven’t been around cats but I think I’d do fine
with them.
Don’t miss this opportunity to get yourself a great dog. I’m a
low maintenance boy and hope you’ll see how great I am! Text my foster
Dad, Dennis to meet me.
Waldo
Guess what? I found Waldo!!! I brought him in for some training
since he was a stray for SOOO many years….. He’s been in
training for a month and has done very well. Now, Waldo would like to tell
you about his time since being with me.
I am 2 years old and weigh in around 45 lbs. I have been loving all the
structure and training I am getting, for I love a job to do and to please my
human(leader). I am currently living with 3 other dogs, a cat and 2
tortoises. Due to my natural instincts, it would be best to live with no cats
and or with a cat that is dog friendly and does not hide. I love being
with and pleasing my person. I am fully house and crate trained and
enjoy being with other K9’s that are on the calmer side. I am very
independent and can entertain myself, though it’s much more fun when I
can play with my human(s). Smaller children I don't recommend for how
quick I can play and move. I am looking for a home that is mildly active that
could include hikes, agility work, and getting me out regularly and providing
the structure, leadership, love and activity level I have been thriving
under, for this is where I am my best! Keeping up with my training will be
key, for I am loyal as they come and will always be by your side when you
need me.
Now that I have been found, I would love to find my Furever
home!
