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

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

"Simba is a very unique addition to Las Vegas Labrador Rescue, having travelled all the way from Beijing, China to Las Vegas. Simba was recused by Goldens without Borders, an organization dedicated to saving dogs from the meat trade industry, and transported to the US, and ultimately, to Las vegas Labrador Rescue.
For a dog that has travelled farther than most, he is doing amazing in our home. Simba is energetic, playful, and really enjoys running around. He has discovered the pool, and was an instant fan of routine swims! He's does very well on leash, but will need more work, and is getting better every day with crating. He appears to be house-trained, does great with other dogs, and wants to play. Simba is very affectionate, loves getting rubbed and does the lean for good snuggles. Simba will need some work learning not to jump on people and he's still has a lot of puppy mouthy in him, so families with smaller children should be aware. As we do not have cats or small children, we are unsure how he would do around them, but we have no reason to think it would be an issue. Given that for most of his life his commands were given in a different language, Simba will need a little extra time learning new versions of sit, stay, etc. He's very smart, curious, a little bit of a foodie and an absolute sweet boy. He will make a great companion for an active family willing to do a little work to get him acclimated to a new home."

Pending Adoption: Maya, a 3 year old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

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

"Maya is a 3 year old black lab who needs a family with the patience to let her warm up to you at her own pace. She is housebroken, crate trained and is comfortable on a leash. She sleeps through the night, rides well in car, but frightens easily with new sounds. At first Maya prefers to stay in her crate where she feels safe, but as she feels at ease with you, it is easy to tell that she wants to be loved and petted. Maya would do better in a home with another dog, as she lights up when she's around other pets. Maya will need a family that can give her time and patience to become comfortable in a new surrounding. Once she trusts her human, Maya is a lovable, affectionate and energetic. She simply takes longer than most to feel safe & secure.
Please consider the acclamation time Maya needs before requesting to meet her. "

Adopted: Willow, a 4 month old Black Female Labrador, has found her forever home.

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

"Willow is a hilariously wonderful young Lab! She is quite a character, feisty, strong willed, and very smart. Willow loves to play fetch already, romp and play, and has learned sit. She is also sweet, affectionate, and will also snuggle with humans. Willow is learning to adjust to a kennel, and while not thrilled to go, she quickly settles down. She is doing great with potty training, provided you stay on a schedule. As Willow is still a puppy, she's incredibly mouthy, curious and likes to play. She will need a strong leader to guide her through the puppy stages of life, helping her become the dog she is meant to be. Families with small children should take extra caution before requesting a meet, as Willow is still learning not to jump on people and walk on leash, and did we mention she's quite mouthy? Willow is good with other dogs and wants to play; our dogs, however, are not interested. Willow will need a family experienced with young, energetic Labs and committed to providing her with structure, boundaries and training. Willow will make a great companion, as she loves people and really is a blank canvas for training.
Willow requires a follow up trip to our vet for another round of booster vaccinations and her stitches removed, and that should be considered by any prospective family. It is a condition of her adoption."
