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 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.

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.

Didi

Don’t let my name fool you—“DiDi” may mean
“little dude,” but I’m a big, happy boy with an even bigger
heart! My previous owner passed away, and I’m looking for a new family
to love and share many more good years with.

I’m currently working on my fitness goals and have already made
great progress! I have about 30 more pounds to lose, and with healthy meals,
veggie “treats,” and short walks, I’m getting stronger and
slimmer every day.

I’m a sweet, silly guy who loves chasing shadows and reflections.
Speaking of shadows…I’d really love to be your shadow, too! I
follow my foster mom from room to room while she works from home, so
I’d do best with a family where someone is home more often than
not.

I’m crate trained (I may test you with a little whining at first),
don’t chew on things, know my basic commands, ride great in the car,
and walk nicely on a leash. I’m also good about letting you know when I
need to go outside. I absolutely love my two foster dog sisters, and the kids
in the family. From a sporty teenager to a silly toddler to a cooing infant,
I am comfortable with it all!

My biggest opportunity is getting healthier, and my biggest strengths are
my smile, charm, and sweet heart. If you’re looking for a lovable,
goofy companion who will happily follow you everywhere, I might be your guy.
Text my foster mom if you want to meet me.

Dodger

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.

Lucky

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.

Roscoe

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

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
