We love these getting these updates on our adopted Labs!
"Hello, We adopted Duke (fka Zuko) in January 2026; he is our happy boy and big brother to Ella. He loves walks and the dog park to chase his ball for ever and a day! He also loves to sleep and has no problem sleeping on his humans! He and Ella get along so well and we are so glad he is in our life.
Thank you for allowing us to adopt our Duke!
Robert and Jill E"

Adopt Me: Duke Silver, a 6 y/o Male Silver Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Hi! My name is Duke and I am a 6 year old silver Labrador. I am a big boy - 115 lbs, and I am a bit taller than most American labs in general; however, I need to lose some weight, which is currently a work in progress. I need a furever home that will be firm and consistent with me as I have been an only dog for some time. I am a good learner, but can be obstinate at times. I am not aggressive toward other dogs, but since I have been an only dog, I don’t know how to interact productively with them yet (another work in progress). I am housebroken and know how to use a doggie door. I do not currently kennel. However, I am trainable. I know the command “sit." I’m learning to lay down upon request. I know the commands: “No,” “Out of the kitchen,” “Sit,” “Come,” “Off" and I’m learning the command “Heel,” and “Stay." I walk pretty well on a leash, and also currently working on this to get better. I love riding in the car and love going for walks. I currently walk in the desert for 3 miles. I know how to play frisbee and will bring it back to you and give it to you if you say "drop it.” I am not a couch potato, I love to play and have a balanced amount of energy, I just learned how to play with a squeaky bone. But, I do love to lay on the couch with you. I love to be loved and scratched all over. I am looking for my furever home that will give me love, scratches, attention, and take me for walks. I will do well in a home that continues to train me with affection, confidence and structure".
Adopt Me: Lemon, a 5 year old Female Yellow Labrador, who is looking for her forever home.
Her is a bio from her foster family:
"Meet Lemon 🍋
Lemon is a 5-year-old sweetheart who is full of life and love! She has a playful spirit and absolutely loves the water—if there’s a swimming pool nearby, you can bet Lemon will be the first one in! 🏊♀️
She’s fantastic with kids and would make an amazing family dog. Lemon also enjoys playing fetch and will happily keep you entertained with her fun, energetic personality.
Lemon is very well-trained and knows commands like sit, lay down, drop it, and leave it. She’s also potty trained, making her an easy addition to a home.
She gets along well with small dogs, and larger dogs with proper introductions. Lemon has learned cats aren't scary, and is co-existing well now.
More than anything, Lemon is incredibly sweet and loving. She’s the kind of dog who will bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles into your life.
If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion, Lemon might just be your perfect match 💛"
Adopted: Arlo, a 3 year old Labradoodle/Golden Doodle, has found his forever home.
While not LVLR's typical intake and Arlo is not a Labrador, he his Lab adjacent, and we wanted to help a dog in need. Doodles do have different grooming needs than Labs, please bear that in mind.
Here is a bio from his foster family: "My name is Arlo, and I am a 3-year-old Labradoodle. I am on the smaller side of the labradoodles at 28 lbs. I am a very sweet boy and I love attention and scratches all over. The couch is my favorite place during the day, but I do love going for hikes/walks. I get along well with other dogs and kids. I am a bit timid at first, but once I get to know you, I make myself right at home. I am house broken and know how to use a doggie door. I kennel well, I don’t really care for it, as I’d rather be with my person. I sleep on my pad at night next to my person’s bed. I love to travel in the car and load and travel well. I know the following commands: sit, out, come, no, and I am working on heel. I walk well on a leash, and I am a quick learner. I also love to sit with you at night. I am looking for my furever home that will give me love, scratches, attention, and take me for walks."
"Duke was rescued via default….sort of. He was our foster, no interest on the LVLR website for adoption over health issues, most likely, but what an improvement to our life. He is resilient, stoic, happy, playful and grateful. We take him on trips, along with his sister, Shadow (another LVLR fail and bestie), to places like Zion and Duck Creek. In the picture included, he is playing in a creek with his friends Aspen and Misty, at Duck Creek, Utah. He loves water, food, his friends, and his people. Must be a lab!!! We are so lucky to have him. We were incomplete without him and didn’t even know it. Our only regret is we didn’t find him sooner, to have him longer. Wayne & Missy"

Adopt Me: Maverick, a 2 year old Male Yellow Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is an UPDATED bio from his foster family:
"Maverick is the happiest dog. Full of energy and love and the desire to please. He does well in a crate at night and when you have to leave for the day. Maverick rides well in a car, and loves camping. He knows how to use the doggy door and no longer has accidents in the house. He loves playing with other dogs as long as he is introduced. He gets excited when new people come over but with guidance he calms down and can greet people with respect after a couple minutes. Inside the home and fenced areas he responds immediately to his name. Maverick learns quickly as long as you stay consistent with your directions for him. He is always down for a great game of tug or fetch, and wrestling with his foster sisters or sleeping under the desk with them for WFH foster mom."
***Please read carefully for Maverick full medical disclosure***
Maverick has been diagnosed with Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia. This is a genetic defect that we discovered through our routine examination with our Vet, and immediately set up an evaluation with a cardiologist. Upon completion of the echocardiogram with the doctor, it was decided that Maverick does not require any medication at this time to manage the dysplasia, and should be checked again in 12 months. This diagnosis shouldn't change much for Maverick, he should live a long and happy life. His diet does need to managed more closely, he should stay leaner with a balanced grain/protein diet. Maverick would not be suited as a long distance running/hiking buddy, but still should have regular and routine exercise. There is always the chance later in life Maverick might need medication to manage his heart, we cannot say for sure either way. For any families interested in Maverick, we are happy to forward the medical information for review.
Adopted: Zuko, a 3 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
Meet Zuko! He is a 3 year old yellow lab full of love. He enjoys snuggling with and sleeping on his humans. He plays well with his foster brother lab and is respectful of the older dog in the house.
Zuko likes to play fetch and tug. He is currently learning how to not chase birds on his daily walks, and also gets excited and likes to bark when he sees other humans on walks. He is a very curious and intelligent guy who will melt into your lap after a play session.
Adopted: Moka, a 3.5 year old Female Chocolate Labrador, has found her forever home.
Here is a bio from her Foster Family:
"Meet Moka!
She is an incredibly loving and gentle dog with a heart full of affection. She loves playing fetch with her ball, and she’s just as content curling up for cuddles. She loves healthier treats like carrots, apples, or even blueberries which is great because Moka girl needs to lose a little weight.
She is amazing with kids and does wonderful in her foster home with a toddler. She listens well when children tell her “no” and shows great manners around little ones. She is house trained and does a great job at letting you know she needs out.
She has a calm, family-friendly demeanor. Moka will need a bit more work with crate training, and foster parent is working with her on it, she is eager to please and learns quickly so it shouldn’t be a big deal. She is afraid of cats and does really well with respecting the cats by avoiding them. This sweet girl is a total love bug and would make a wonderful companion for a loving family looking for a gentle, playful, and affectionate dog."
Adopted: Duke, an 8 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Duke is the total package: sweet, easygoing, and ready to be your loyal companion. He’s dog door trained, non-destructive, and perfectly content whether he’s snuggled up next to you or relaxing on his own. Duke is looking for that special furever family that values seniors with a little grey in their coat, but all the love to give.
Duke gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, from playful pups to gentle giants. He’s independent but affectionate, happy to hang out nearby and soak up attention when it’s cuddle time.
This handsome boy would fit beautifully into almost any home; whether you already have dogs or you’re just looking for one calm, well-mannered buddy to share your space. "
PLEASE READ: Medical disclosures for Duke: Duke has had a senior wellness exam, along with his other vaccinations, microchip, etc. We discovered a small lump, thought to be a lipoma, but turned out to be mass cell cancer. It has been removed, with good margins and no other treatment needed. He has healed well from surgery and doing great. As part of the senior wellness exam, it is also noted that Duke has osteoarthritis. Although you wouldn't know it with his bouncy happiness, he may, at times, need pain relievers and/or anti inflammatories in the future. LVLR is happy to provide his medical records as part of your evaluation to adopt.
Adopted: Logan, a 6 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Don't let the little gray on my chin fool you, I'm a spry young man! My favorite past time is chewing a bone on the couch next to you. And you'll never spend another minute alone with me in your life, since I will follow you everywhere closer than your shadow! I'll find a nice shady place to lay on the ground next to you outside on a nice sunny day. I'm still learning manners on the leash, but I ride in the car like a gentleman. I get along well with other dogs, but I'm not big on rough housing. Cats intrigue me, and I haven't shown any aggression towards them. Not really motivated by food or toys, but a good treat will get me to do anything. I sit and lay down when asked, and I will come when you call me. My nose can reach the edge of the counter, so keep an eye on me in the kitchen. But I'm good at laying on the rug near the kitchen and watching you cook. Somebody may have shared table food with me before, so I'm still learning manners when you eat. Love to sleep in with you! Eager to please and loving and loyal. I will be a great companion. "
Adopted: Arlo, a 4 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
" My name is Arlo, and I am 4 years old. I am a gentle, sweet boy. I love attention and scratches all over. I am overweight, but that I a work in progress. I love sitting on the couch with you and getting loves and snuggles. I am basically a quiet dog but can play with you. I don’t play with toys much, but I do like to collect them and take them outside. I love to chew on a rope toy and will play tug of war with you. I love to chew on large marrow bones, fake dog bones and large dog balls. I get along with other dogs, but do not interact a lot with them. I will lay on the floor or my bed pad and watch the action. I will kennel with a bribe; however, I am good around the house and not destructive. I do not counter surf. I stay out all day loose in the house and if you leave, I will lay on my bed or the couch till you get home. I am house broken and know how to use a doggie door. I love to travel in the car and load well. I know how to sit and lay down. I know what “out of the kitchen” means. When I am on the leash, I know what “heel,” “here” and “back” means. I also know what “come” means. I love to go for walks and hikes in the desert and walk well on a leash. I also love to sit with you at night and share blueberries with you. I sleep through the night on a bed pad next to the bed. I am looking for a furever home that will give me love, scratches and attention, and take me for walks and rides in the car. "
Adopted: Milo, a 4 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is a bio from Milo's foster family:
"Meet Milo-this chunky chocolate lab has eyes and a personality that will melt your heart and make it almost impossible to say no when he wants just one more treat!
He loves to go on long, leisurely walks to work off those extra treats just as much as he enjoys napping at your feet while you catch up on your latest shows.
Milo is house and kennel trained, knows how to use doggie doors, love car rides, and has the softest mouth when accepting treats. He is used to walking with a harness and is generally well behaved, although he may need a reminder to stay next to you if a new friend wants to say hello.
Milo has been fostered with large and small dogs, cats, and has met children. Despite his size, he is the gentlest soul with all and respects their space."
Adopted: Max, a 6-7 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.
Max is a special boy, that will need some extra love, patience & attention to acclimate to a new home. Max came to LVLR through no fault of his own, as his human went in to hospice care. He can be timid at first, understandably, but warms up with time & affection.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"My name is Max, and I am 6 1/2 years old. I am a gentle, sweet boy. I love attention and scratches all over. I love sitting on the couch with you and getting loves and snuggles. I am a quiet dog, not rambunctious and don’t play a lot with toys. I get along with other dogs, but do not interact a lot with them. I will lay on the floor or my bed pad and watch the action. I do not like to kennel; however, I am good around the house and not destructive. I stay out all day loose in the house and if you leave, will lay on my bed or the couch till you get home. I am house broken and know how to use a doggie door. I love to travel in the car and load well. I do not counter surf; however, I will put my paws on the counter and see what you are up to when you are fixing my food, but don’t try and steal food off the counter when you are not looking. I know how to sit if you put your finger on my back just above my tail and ask me to sit. I know what “out of the kitchen” means and “go lay down.” When I am on the leash, I know what “heel” and “here” means. I also know what “come” means. I love to go for walks and hikes in the desert and walk well on a leash. I also love to sit with you at night and share blueberries with you. I sleep through the night on a bed pad next to the bed. I am looking for a furever home that will give me love, scratches and attention, and take me for walks and rides in the car.
"Doug turned 2! We celebrated our golden boy’s golden birthday on August 2nd. He is so lovable and goofy! We learned that he loves swimming and playing fetch in a pool. Most of all, he loves hunting for bugs and lizards in the backyard."

We have another great Happy Tail this time for Gia (formerly Sammi)
"Gia is a perfect addition to our family! At the home visit, she seemed to know she had found her new home as she dropped my sandals into my lap and sat between us at the door instead of following her foster family. Since she came to us in May of 2024, she has completed individual classes with PC Dog Training, and now loves seeing her friends at group classes twice a week. Gia loves to meet new people and dogs, which was a plus as she has traveled to 15 states with us. We knew from the start that Gia's temperament would be perfect for being around our granddaughter, who was 1 ½ when Gia joined us. Gia is gentle with her and never far from her. Gia loves cuddles, chewing her bone after dinner, and taking sun baths. Thank you for helping us find Gia!

The updates and Happy Tails are simply incredible, we love hearing about our Labs.
Here is a Happy Tail for Ferris (formerly Fowler)
"Ferris has become the sweetest boy in our house. At first we were a bit hesitant with the level of his separation anxiety, but once he settled in and realized our home was his fur-ever home it all went away. We are so happy to have him part of our family.
We are absolutely convinced Ferris was sent to us by our 2 previous labs as he is a combination of both their personalities
He loves his morning snuggles and is oh so proud of himself when he finds the squeaker in a new toy
We just need to find him a brother or sister; we want to get our dog a dog
Respectfully
Matt & PJ"

We have a wonderful up date for Montana (formerly Bambi)
"Montana is the sweetest dog ever. Her favorite thing is to lay on the couch right between my legs to take her daily naps. She has a younger sister who is also a chocolate lab and they are inseparable. They play together and will occasionally “talk” to eachother. They go on nightly walks to the park and she loves to play fetch. We celebrated her fourth birthday and she was there when I got engaged. We originally adopted her to bring our first lab a friend, but we gained so much more having her join our family. We are so thankful for you guys for rescuing her and bringing her to us."

Adopted: Bear, a 5-6 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.
Here is a Bio from her foster family:
"If you are looking for a 'beary' good girl, here she is! Bear is a sweet and loving cuddle-bug who will be a great addition to any family and is looking forward to sharing her joyful spirit.
Her ideal furever home is one that will take her on walks and toss the ball, but just as importantly make sure she has a comfy bed or spot next to you on the sofa for naps!
Bear is fantastic around small and large dogs, kids, and cats. She will lean into the energy of those around her if they are excited but quickly settles down and generally exhibits a calm demeanor.
Bear is a distinguished lady who is polite taking treats, respecting space, not jumping, and riding in the car. She knows basic commands like sit, but she does need brief reminders on walks at times that it’s ok to slow down and smell the roses.
She was not previously crate-trained, but she is making progress at spending time in one. When left on her own, she will find the nearest sofa or dog bed and settle in for a nap."
Adopted: Diesel, a 3 year old Make Yellow Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Diesel is officially a "foster fail", having immediately captured the hearts of his foster family. When it came time to post him, his foster family couldn't let him go, and the rest is history. Congratulations, Diesel, on funding your furever family!"
Adopted: Xena, a 1.5 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.
Her is a bio from Xena's foster family:
"My name is Xena, and I am a year and a half old. I am a sweet girl. I love attention and scratches all over. I am still a puppy technically, so I still have the puppy energy. I love to play and get along well with other dogs and kids. I love to play ball, and I even bring the ball back to you; however, you must take the ball out of my mouth if you want it. I am currently working on giving it. My other favorite toy is a braided rope; I love to play tug of war with it. I kennel well, I am house broken and know how to use a doggie door. I love to travel in the car and load well. I do not counter surf and know the following commands: sit, down, place, stay, come, no, kennel, fetch, bring and I am working on give and heel. Since I still have puppy brain, it may take a second command to get me to complete the task. I love to go for walks and hikes in the desert and walk well on a leash. I also love to sit with you at night and share blueberries with you. I am looking for a furever home that will give me love, scratches and attention, and take me for walks."
Adopted: Jessie, a 4 year old Female Chocolate Labrador, has found her forever home.
Here is a bio from her foster family:
"Jessie is a sweet girl who loves to play fetch and brings the ball back every single time and puts it politely at your feet. She's always happy to see you and greets you with smiles and exuberant tail wags. Fully house trained. Loves belly rubs and lounging on the sofa with you. She is a little slow to warm up to new people, but will be your shadow as soon as she does. Does great with kids. Needs help learning to be polite on a leash. We are unsure of how Jessie would be in a crate".
Adopted: Big Red, a 4 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Big Red is a big softy. He loves following you around the house and sitting on your lap, all 135 lbs of him! His favorite pastimes are running in the hose and playing in any and all water. He will show you his teeth to give you smiles if you scratch his cheeks. Fully house trained. There is no such thing as a stranger to him. He has a loud voice, but not a mean bone in his body. He loves to fetch the ball, but needs a little encouragement to bring it back to you every time. Does great with kids. Needs help learning to be polite on a leash. We are unsure of how he would do in a crate."
Adopted: Maverick, a 1.5 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.
Here is an UPDATED bio from his foster family:
”Maverick is doing great in his new foster home! He's energetic, but appreciates naps & downtime. Maverick still has some puppy tendencies, mischievous at times, loves to de-fluff stuffed toys, and tries to counter surf. In his new foster home, Maverick has a foster pup that engages with him, they play a ton and Mav takes turns being submissive and then leading the play. He has turned in to quite the snuggler, sleeping well through the night & cuddling up on the couch. He is getting better at the word, “no.” He is still a work in progress, is learning better on-leash habits and boundaries, and making small strides in crating. Maverick will be a great addition to a family, who will be committed to continuing his training, and giving him the time, love, affection he needs and deserves."
Adopted: Pepper, a 1 year old Black Male Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is an UPDATED bio from his foster family:
"HI, my name is Pepper, and I am about 14 months old. I am mostly black with a few white markings on my chest. I have a birth defect of my tail, which actually I think is pretty cute and goes with my personality. It is like a monkey’s prehensile tail that curls at the very end but doesn’t affect me or my cuteness. I am still a puppy and have lots of energy, but I am learning how to channel it to constructive purposes. I love to play, love scratches all over my body and adore attention. I sit and love to eat blueberries out of your hand in the evening as dessert. My favorite toy is a 5-knot rope and a close second is a squealy bone. I also love to play ball and I’m learning to give it back to you. I kennel very well, and I am doing well left alone outside of the kennel. I love to play with other dogs and get along with them. I am house broken and use a doggie door. I have learned not to counter surf. I know the commands sit, stay (work in progress depending on how many distractions there are) place, out of the kitchen, do my business, kennel, down, (or lay down), heel, load and no. I walk on a leash pretty well for a puppy. I don’t get on the furniture. I go for long walks every day. I love to ride in the car and I load well. I still chew a lot, but when provided with many chew toys I am not destructive. I have not learned to mark which is kudos for me. I really look forward to finding a furever home that will adore me as much as I will adore them and has time to take me on walks."
Please note: Pepper is on the smaller size of a typical Lab, and has a small birth defect, his tail curves in at the end. Our Vet doesn't see a reason to remove the curl, Pepper is happy & healthy and the defect in no way affects his quaility of life.
Adopted: Bambi, a 3-4 year old Female Chocolate Labrador, who is looking for her forever home.
Here is a bio from her foster family:
"Bambi is just the sweetest girl. She will definitely bond with you quickly. She likes to be close to her people but not over bearing. While she could use some leash manners she settles into her walk after a few minutes. She does need help in controlling her jumping and we’re working on that. She absolutely loves balls! No tennis balls as she will shred them. She enjoys the company of her foster siblings and enjoys a good playtime. After she will happily settle down for a nap. She is fully crate trained. She may whimper for a few minutes, but will settle down. You will have to give her some assistance to get into the crate. She has mastered our doggie door and seems 100% house trained. No slow feeder needed as she a gentle eater and takes treats nicely. Bambi will be a wonderful addition to any family."
Adopted: Duke, a a 4-5 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.
Duke currently has the maximum allowed meet requests, please watch for updates.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Duke is a beautiful, deep chocolate Lab wrapped up in total sweetness! He is a very lovable, affectionate young Lab, who loves ear rubs, belly rubs and staying by his human's side. Duke came to his foster home very timid and apprehensive. He will go outside easily to potty, but is fearful of new surroundings and going into bedrooms. We are working on overcoming Duke's apprehension and he has made great strides in a short time. Duke sleeps through the night on his human's bed, loves his fresh fruits and veggies and car rides. He likes to go for walks and is a good leash walker, who can pull at times, but will listen when corrected. He knows sit, down and paw. He doesn't chase a ball or any other toys, is not destructive nor a counter surfer and is mostly content to just cuddle next to his human. He and his foster family's dog are always "pawing' for undivided attention from their humans. Duke would do great with small children and other dogs and will make a fantastic addition to a family, who will be committed to giving Duke that extra special attention, love and patience he needs to feel secure and confident."
We are settled in Prattville, AL and as you can see from the video clips, Zoey, Gunner, and Bella are loving their lives here! They have a big fence in the yard and love to chase the squirrels!
Zoey is the queen of Alabama and collects beauty crowns wherever she goes! Do not let the beauty and crowns fool you, she is an original gangster and runs the house! Zoey is amazing and a joy and has helped her sister (Bella) to be a confident, demanding, and loving girl. The two of them are inseparable. Zoey has taken over the sleep number and puts herself to bed about 8 o' clock every night.
Bella and Gunner are excellent pill takers, they gulp down their heartworm/Flea and Tick medicine every month, not Zoey. I have to make her peanut butter ball treats and cut her pill in quarters to get her to take it. After I have tricked her into taking her pill, she goes and pouts on the bed.
Zoey is the 1st with everything. She gets her food bowl 1st, treats 1st, and will not allow her brother and sister to bark unless she gives them permission. If they bark 1st, she will run to them and bark in their faces, telling them to hush!
Gunner is mellow and loves his Pa! He could care less about his sister's, who keep him on his toes! Gunner has numerous nicknames; Jethro, Guns and bones, bun buns, Bob, Robert, Slobbert (he drools for food and treats), and Clifford the Big Red Dog. He gallops around the yard like a pony!
The kids pile into the cab of the truck every afternoon and off we go for a ride. Zoey is not a fan of long distance riding, but she tolerates the afternoon drives. Gunner loves to go, especially when he is in the big truck with his Pa!
Bottom line, Zoey and Gunner are amazing along with their siblings to include the two kitties! They run the house, have taken over the sofa and bed and we love them! The kids are healthy and amazing!
Enjoy the pictures and wagging tails! Please accept our apologies for the long overdue happytails update!
Thank you LVLR, we would not have these wonderful kids if it were not for you!

We have an incredible, historic Happy Tail for Cupid!
"Cupid was quite the escape artist in her younger days, which ultimately led her to her forever family. She escaped one too many times and ended up at a kill shelter in Utah, where her previous family found her and surrendered her after one of her escapades in 2013. The Las Vegas Lab Rescue drove to Utah to pick her up and she was fostered where she found a best friend in a German Shepherd, Lightning. Their bond was instant and caused Cupid's foster family to foster fail because the two quickly became inseparable.
The day her family decided to adopt her, Cupid's bloodwork came back from Craig Road Animal Hospital where she tested positive for heart worms. The news was devastating, but her new family was ready to tackle her diagnosis. Cupid and her new brother, Lightning, were not allowed to play whatsoever and she had to live an unexciting live for quite a few months during the duration of her treatment. After a successful heart worm treatment, Cupid was finally able to live a normal life. Normalcy looked like chasing Lightning and her new brother, Chevy around the house, road trips across various states, or down the street to get a pup cup, and of course, lots of outing at the racetrack.
In 2020, Cupid moved with her mom to California where Cupids new friend lived, her dad Jeffrey. While her brother Chevy was ring bearer in her parents wedding, Cupid was the Pup of Honor on her mom's side. Living in California has included beach trips and lots of roadtrips to her her grandparents in Las Vegas. Today, Cupid is 16 years old. She is an older sister to Chevy (9 y/o pit mix), Kimi (3 y/o cat) and Getzy (2 y/o German Shepard/Rottweiler mix). She loves napping, snacking, and hanging out with her siblings at the race track. "

Adopted: Sven, a 5 year old Male Silver Labrador, found his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Sven is a chill dog. Likes to follow you around and is very affectionate. Uses the doggie door, knows a couple of basic commands. Not destructive. Gets along with dogs his own size and smaller dogs. When I check in on him on the cameras he’s either lying on his dog bed, couch or outside sunbathing. Sven will make a great buddy. He is recovering from 'Happy Tail', healing well, and may need to see our vet one more time to make sure it's fully healed."
