Adopted: Buttercup, a 6 year old Female Yellow Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Buttercup is a beautiful Lab with a heart of gold. She is so sweet, friendly and well-behaved that you think she's like a perfectly behaved little girl. But the great thing about Buttercup is that as sweet as she is - she's also ALL Lab in her personality.
She is just as happy to run around the back yard kicking up dirt to cover her tracks, or follow me throughout the house, or fling herself down at my feet looking for belly rubs when I am working at my desk.  She eats her meals daintily and is gentle when taking a treat. But she gets just as excited as my 'foodie' Lab who would knock over a tank to get to his food, whenever their meals are being served.
Buttercup is very affectionate, but independent enough to go walk-about in my back yard on her own and have a stretch and a sniff of fresh air. She's smart and quickly assessed the dynamics of our pack, found her place in it, and even knew when the moment was right to attempt getting up on the foot of the bed where my two Labs hang out.  And she was right - they let her stay!
She does not chew on shoes or anything else, and doesn't seem very interested in toys - dont think she might have had many in her life.  She learned to use the doggie door very quickly and knows commands such as come, sit and no. She pulls a bit on the leash, and while it's been too hot to take her outside and work on walking properly, she's willing to learn and is eager to please. She is a little bit of a counter-surfer and tried to get something off my kitchen counter twice. But she knew immediately when I said no, and she showed she was sorry (probably for being caught, though). And after being called on it twice, she has not gone near the counters since.

Buttercup is the whole package - a sweet little girl with a great Labrador personality. She will make a wonderful addition to any happy family."

Adopted: Wesley, a 3 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Wesley is a handsome and curious big happy lab. He has already shown what a great addition he will make to a household. He does great with large and small dogs and shows no aggression towards the cats in his current foster home. He’s had no accidents in his kennel or inside the house and goes to the door to ask to go outside which leads us to believe he is house trained. We have a dog door and he has shown a little interest in that and we think he’d do well if you plan to have one in your home. He has been kenneled at night and while we are out of the house and while he barks for a bit at first, he settles down and doesn’t seem to mind it after a few minutes. He is quick to bond and eager to please while staying close by his family members throughout the day. Wesley is perfectly happy to lay down and watch tv while asking for belly rubs but gets great pleasure from going on walks or playing in the yard. A true retriever, he is delighted to chase a ball or toy around in the yard and will bring it back to you as thrown.
He is a little clumsy on the leash and will need some training in that area and he does great in the car. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a companion to have around the house, Wesley is your guy!"

Adopted: Athena, a 3.5 year old Female Silver Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is an updated Bio from her foster family……..

"Athena is a gentle soul. She has a calm demeanor & loves to be near you. She will give you a gentle nudge & put her head on your lap when she wants attention. She loves to walk around the house & yard with her toys in her mouth.  She knows basic commands (sit & down), is house trained & easily mastered the doggie door.  Initially she was a bit over eager when taking treats, but has made progress using the "gentle" command. Athena tends to pull on walks, so she will need leash training. She doesn't like being confined in the crate, but she will go in & sleep as long as the door is open and you are close by. She sleeps through the night & likes to be close to her human.  We have noticed some separation anxiety, she doesn't like to be left alone.  She needs some more time and experience to build up her confidence, we have been working on this issue & have made some progress. Athena is very sweet. She is a laid back, affectionate lovebug.  She will need some training & patience in some areas, but will be a lovable, loyal companion."

Adopted: Kai, a 4.5 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"The first thing you need to know about Kai, he LOVES tennis balls. Yes, a basketball or soccer ball may do in a pinch, but this boys LOVES him some tennis balls. Kai would probably chase a ball for hours straight if he was allowed, but he's still recovering from his neuter, so he has limited exercise time.

Kai is sweet, loving and a perfect buddy dog. If he's not chasing a ball, he's happy to follow you around (with a ball in his mouth of course) and hang out. He is a typical mouthy Lab, and will woof at you to play with him. His wiggle-butt game is strong, and has such a good personality, it's hard to resist that face.

Kai rides well in a car, sleeps through the night, is house-trained and gets along with our dogs. Where Kai needs work is leash walking, as he's a big boy and pulls. He does not like the crate, and can be vocal, but we're working on making it a safe, comfortable experience for him. Kai will make an amazing companion for an active family committed to working on his training a bit more. He's super smart, energetic, and overall a lovely dog."

Adopted: Bandit, a 4 year old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Bandit is a handsome Lab with a little bit of hound mixed in for good measure!  He is very well-mannered, knows all his commands and is happy to comply. He eats without haste and is very gentle when taking a treat. He gets along great with my other two Labs, and fell right in with the pack and the pace of our home. He was happy and friendly meeting my family. 
Not a barker, but he's very alert. He is happy to wander off to the back yard on his own and hang out there, but even happier to be with the rest of the pack wherever we are. He likes his doggie beds, and will get up on the sofa or bed - if he can get away with it, only when he wants to cuddle with the people who are already there. He learned how to use the doggie door in about 5 minutes, and was great in my car.
Right now, Bandit's a bit overweight, and hopes his new family will help him with his diet and be sure he gets plenty of exercise every day.  Bandit's a loving, wonderful dog and will be a great addition to any home."

Adopted: Clyde, a 6 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Clyde is a very sweet boy. He is a bit timid but responds when called. He’s potty trained but does not know basic commands such as sit. I have a pup who uses a doggie door and Clyde has learned how to us it as well. I dont think it would take long to teach him basic commands. All he needs is a bit of patience and lots of love."

Adopted: Gabbana, a 3 year Female Chocolate Labrador, who is looking for her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Gabbana, or "Gabby" as we call her, is very loving, affectionate, and wants to be near the people. She knows basic commands (sit, down, shake), is house trained, and learned the doggie door quickly. Gabby likes to play with her toys , especially a squeaky ball.

Gabby is demonstrating some separation anxiety. We aren't sure if it's temporary, given all the stress she's gone through, or if it's an issue to be worked on in her furever home. When crated and left alone, she whines and can be vocal. However, she's comfortable to sleep in overnight if she knows where you are.

Gabby does ok on walks alone, but is reactive when she sees other people and dogs. She's very excitable in those situations, barking and lunging. She will need work on socialization in an outdoor surrounding. She's sweet and submissive when she meets other dogs, has lived with other animals, but needs work to control her energy in a walking situation to be safe.

Gabby is really sweet and loves attention, she simply needs structure, security and some training to be the dog she's meant to be. She will do best with a family that understands the work she will need, and willing to have the time, patience and commitment for her to feel safe and secure."

Pending: Nero, a 9 year old Chocolate Male Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Nero has been a great dog while in our care. He is very calm and gets a long great with other dogs. He loves to take short slow walks and long naps. He knows commands such as sit, down, stay, come or here, out and is potty trained. Nero would be a great companion as he is sweet and calm.

Nero is a little slower, has some arthritis in his hips & needs to lose some weight and has typical Lab fatty lumps, but that hasn't stopped him from being happy, engaged with humans and affectionate."

Adopted: Zoey, a 4 year old Yellow Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Zoey is a very special 4 yr old female yellow lab. She is a laid back, easy going girl. Zoey is very sweet, loves attention & wants to be near you, as she is very people focused. She is housebroken, knows basic commands & walks well on a leash. Zoey does well with other animals, cats and dogs, and knows several commands. She is trained to walk on the left. Zoey has a calm demeanor, but does like to play. She loves her stuffed squeaky toys. She also likes chasing balls, but is very uncomfortable running & playing on desert rock landscaping. She will walk on the rocks to do her business, but will walk off as soon as she is done. Zoey does not like loud noises, but doesn't freak out. She quietly walks away & heads straight to her crate. Her crate is her safe place, so having a crate available to her is recommended. She gets a bit stressed when riding in the car. You can tell it's not her favorite thing to do. Zoey is a loving & affectionate girl. She is such a joy & will definitely melt your heart. While she is crate trained, when left alone in crate for long periods she can be destructive with items left in crate. Zoey is better suited to a quieter home, as she can be nervous around lots of activity and noise. She will make an amazing companion for the right family."

Adopted: Naia, an 11 month old Female Chocolate Labrador, has found her furever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Naia is a sweet, active total love bug. Naia has not had any accidents in our house and will let you know when she has to go outside. She gets along well with other dogs and loves playing with her foster brother and sister. She knows basic command of sit, shake and lay down, but is a very quick learner. She is learning to walk on a leash and loves going on rides. While she is learning to stay in the kennel, she prefers being out around people. She does have a little separation anxiety, but she's improving daily as she gets more familiar. She is a grazer with her food and eats a little better while in her kennel. Naia loves to jump up and give hugs, but we are working with her to not jump. Naia loves kids and I know she will be an amazing addition to any home."

Adopted: Gryphon, a 7 year old Silver Male Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Gryphon is an active, friendly 7 year old.  Likes to go on daily walks or jogs, and rides well in a car.  Likes to swim, run and play fetch. He gets along with other dogs and is curious about cats but gets along with them. He is comfortable in a kennel but he needs to be exercised daily to get out his energy.  He has a little separation anxiety, but is getting better in a stable place. Gryphon is a grazer; his food can be left out and he eats only when hungry. He put his paws on counters a few times but learning quickly not to jump up.  Gryphon will make a great companion for an active family that has the time and attention to build his confidence."

Adopted: Dolce, a 2.5 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Dolce is a very sweet and affectionate boy. He's very smart, knows the dog door, good on leash, and gets along well with our dogs and cats. He is really focused on being around humans, exhibiting signs of separation anxiety. We're working on his kennel training, to teach him he's still safe and secure even if humans aren't around. He's a very happy, playful boy, but will need time, patience and continued structure to relive the anxiety.

Dolce would do best in home where there is a continued commitment to kennel training, positive reinforcement and patience. At this time, we do not suggest meeting Dolce if he will be left alone for long periods of time in the home, as he will most likely regress from his training. Dolce will make a great companion for an active, involved family committed to helping grow out of the anxiety."

Adopted: Ruby, a 3 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Ruby is a rambunctious 3 year old. She is very affectionate & loves attention. She bonded quickly & follows me around the house. She was quick to learn how to use doggie door & knows basic commands "sit" & "down". We're working on "leave it" & "stay", but she hasn't mastered those 2 yet. She is good on walks, but tends to pull so she will need additional leash training. She gets very excited when meeting new people & tends to jump, so she needs some training in that area. Ruby is a very sweet girl & with a bit more training she will be a loyal & loving companion."

Adopted: Bella, a 3 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Bella is a sweet, affectionate Lab. She's very focused on being with people, and warms up quickly. Bella loves to go exploring as much as she loves to cuddle on the couch with you. She needs some training with walks, but she's smart and eager to please. Bella needs to lose a few pounds as well, as she is VERY food focused. Bella rides great in a car, is house-trained, goes into her crate with ease and sleeps through the night. Bella will make an excellent companion for the right family, she is incredibly loving with her humans."

Please read before submitting a meet request:

Bella needs to be the only animal in a home. While she does great with dogs her size at day care, she does not like small animals. We feel it's best for her to be the only pet in a home. If you have other pets, please do not request to meet Bella.

Adopted: Randy, a 1 year old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Randy is a joy! He's very curious and playful. He likes chasing leaves as they fly down the street on the wind, and intently watching birds flying.  He is also a big cuddler but like most pups, he craves stimulation, exercise and new experiences. If left unoccupied too long, he will find inappropriate new things to chew, such as shoes or a book from a bookcase he can reach. But with 2-3 sessions of 10 minutes each throughout the day to run, play fetch and practice commands, Randy and a tennis ball become best friends, and he ignores the off-limits temptations in his world. 

He follows me around the house all the time, and when I am working or otherwise sitting in one place, he's happy to curl up and hang out – mostly because he’s tired! 

He is quite good at entertaining himself and uses the doggie door to do his business and to go for solo back yard strolls to investigate new things. He's learning that his chew toys are more fun than backyard sticks and twigs.  He pulls a bit at the start of his leash walks, but then settles down nicely. Apples and carrots are his favorite post-training treats. He is gentle when accepting them from my hand, and eats his meals nicely as well.

Randy gets along well with my 2 other Labs, and quickly learned the pack hierarchy or our home.  He sleeps in his bed through the night, is good going into crate. He knows SIT, STAY, NO, and DOWN, but DOWN needs more practice and reinforcement, as he sometimes struggles to control his exuberance when meeting new people. He's strong and can be a bit like a bull in a china shop! 

He’ll thrive in a home with a pack leader who will provide training to help him understand the rules and boundaries of good behaviour, love and affection so that he can bond with his new pack, and lots of exercise to keep him occupied and calm while he grows through his puppyness into the great Labrador that's just starting to emerge. Randy's energy is high at this age, but quick to learn what's expected of him.   

Families with small children or older dogs should consider whether a young, powerful, rambunctious dog is the best match for them, and what processes they will put in place to ensure the safety of their family and pets and that of Randy as well."

Adopted: Buddee, a 4 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Buddee is the perfect name for this gentle giant. He loves to be in your presence and is eager to please. He walks well on a leash with a few small corrections. He knows how to sit and takes treats gently with an open palm. He retrieves tennis balls and most the time will drop it at your feet so you’ll toss it again. He knows how to use a doggy door, and will go in the crate with some coaxing, although it’s not his favorite thing. We are working on this with him. He is tolerant of our energetic German Shepherd and he likes to playfully chase the birds in our yard. We don’t have cats, so I am not sure how he would react to them. He will be a good companion for someone looking for a big, active dog."

Adopted: Meilong (pronounced "May-Ling"), a 3 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Meilong is definetely a people dog, she wants to be in with you as much as possible.  She is always close by, and likes to sleep in the bed.  She is fairly calm as far as not a lot of barking except when she first meets people.  Meilong does get timid around new people at first, but does warm up once she feels safe.  She does well with other dogs and during her stay here she's been around quite a few.  She knows sit and down.  She's not an aggressive eater at all. Initially I tried feeding her separately a couple times a day but she would not eat.  I have been just free feeding her and she has been fine. She doesn't even beg for food when I'm eating.  She will go in the crate if I just open the door and give her the command.  Took her a couple days to catch onto the doggie door but she has not had any accidents in the house.  I have not had her around kids or cats. Meilong will make a wonderful companion for a family willing to be a little patient as she get comfortable in a new environment."

Adopted: Cash, a 2 year old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Cash is a sweet handsome boy who just wants to be loved as much as he loves you. He gives lots of kisses and likes to be close. We are working on the basic commands but he will need training. He has lots of energy, but hasn't been taught manners. He is great on the leash when out walking and he is great with other dogs. He uses the doggie door with no problem. He doesn’t like going into the kennel but once you get him in there he is okay. Cash will make a great family pet for the family that will give him the love he deserves."

Adopted: Kingsley, a 5 month old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Kingsley is all puppy, which means he's short on manners! While he is happy, sweet and loving, he has not had the proper guidance and training a puppy of his age should have been exposed to, and needs help breaking some inappropriate behaviors. He has lots of energy, loves to jump on you and counter surf, and is typically mouthy, with everything and anything being fair game. Kingsley is mischievous and playful, and needs to be directed to when he's in full puppy mode. In his 'toddler' stage, he takes 'no' as a chance to play, and loves the attention. Kingsley is very smart, and absolutely looking to be taught how to behave. We are working on crate training, and he sleeps well through the night. However, he can be vocal when crated alone, preferring to be with the humans. We're working on building up his confidence for crating alone, but it is a work in progress, and it will take time. He is doing great with potty training, as we reinforce the postive behavior with routine trips outside. Kingsley is doing well around our older dogs, looking to play, but respecting their space when they don't want to. Kingsley will need an experienced, patient family to teach him proper behavior and help him grow into the dog he is meant to be. He needs time, love and consistent training to teach him proper manners, boundaries, and expectations. We strongly urge any family with small children possibly interested in Kingsley to consider the implications of bringing in a mouthy, energetic puppy before requesting a meet & greet. Kingsley needs a little more work than normal, but we are confident with the right committed family, he will quickly grow into a fantastic companion."

Adopted: Moose, a 1.5-year-old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Moose is a wonderful paradox of a Lab. He has all the exuberance of a 2 year old, running gleefully through the back yard and chasing tennis balls. But he is equally happy resting on the patio and pondering the grass.  At dinner time, he tries hard to see if there's a morsel coming his way, - he's ALL Lab! - but as soon as he realizes there isn't, he again just lies down and relaxes. No begging, no drooling.  Same thing when I leave the house. No whining, no reign of destruction. He just lies in the kitchen on the cool tile and waits by the door.
After dinner his favorite thing is to get up on the sofa and curl up under my arm, with his head on my lap... or my shoulder!
Moose is self-confident - happy to play with a toy and keep himself entertained. He barks only when appropriate, takes a treat gently from your hand, and eats his meals slowly. He gets along great with my dogs. Dont know about cats, and I haven't had a chance to see how he is with small children. He doesnt chew anything but his toys, and is way more interesting in being with his pack and knowing what they're doing, than getting into mischief by himself. The pack is important to Moose. 
His name is appropriate as he is a big Moose who doesnt know his own strength.  We're working on commands, and he knows Stay, No, Off, and Ah (like no). But he needs practice to do them consistently. He also needs leash training as he pulls, and he's strong.  
Moose will make a great addition to an active family who will give him the training, love, boundaries and exercise he needs. He will give back 100 times what you give him and love you forever."

Some medical background on Moose for transparency: Moose has been with LVLR for over 2 months, as we waited for him to heal from an abscess on his side. While the abscess was treated quickly and easily, he developed seroma (https://www.vetinfo.com/seroma-after-surgery-care-for-dogs.html) around the infected site. Seromas are simply fluid build up, and Moose took a little longer than most dogs to have it fully drained and absorbed naturally. Our vet sees no long term issues from the abscess, he's very healthy and recovered.

Adopted: Bella, a 3 year old, Female Black Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Bella is a sweet well behaved big girl with lots of love to give. She thinks she is a lap dog and likes to be close. She is great with other dogs. She loves going for walks but will need some leash training as she pulls a little bit. She would be good with someone who likes to run.  She also likes to play fetch. Bella listens very well, she goes in the kennel with no problem and sleeps through the night without barking or crying. She follows commands pretty good and is very good when getting treats. Bella is going to be a great companion for that very special family. "

Adopted: Sky, a 4.5 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Sky is one of the sweetest dogs! She is energetic, loves to play and a very smart dog! She is very shy when first meeting her, but quickly warms up. She loves playing with her foster brother and sister. We are working on teaching her basic commands such as sit and shake. She goes in her crate with no problems and sleeps through the night. She is definitely a cuddle bug and loves giving lots of kisses. I believe she would be good in a house with an active family with older kids.

Interested families should be prepared to take some extra time to get to know Sky, she will take longer than normal to become comfortable around new people."
