Adopt Me: Dex, a 4 year old Male Yellow Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.

Here is a bio from his foster family:

"Dex is a big, sweet boy who loves chasing a ball. He is big, strong and athletic, and needs more work on leash training, as he can pull in his excitement. Dex knows some commands like sit, come, drop it. He is very food motivated, so we're using a slow feeder to slow him down. He does attempt to counter surf, and we're working on correcting this behavior. Dex is crate trained, but not a big fan, and whines a bit before settling down. Dex will need a little extra time to get used to new people & places. He sleeps through the night, loves car rides, and plays a lot. While he had a couple of inside accidents, we think it's more from being in a new surrounding than a training issue. Dex loves people, and does well with other dogs with proper introductions. He has been an only dog so far in his life. We have no idea how he'd be with smaller animals. Give Dex a ball, and is your best friend.

Dex will do great with an active family, willing to continue to stimulate both his brain and his body. He thrives with postive reinforcement and activity, and will make such a great buddy for the right family. "

Pending: Sammi, a 9-12 month old Black Female Labrador, who is looking for her forever home.

Sammi currently has the maximum allowed meet requests, please watch for updates.

Here is a bio from from her foster family:

"Sammi is a happy beautiful black lab around 9-12 months old. She loves to be right by your side and follows you everywhere.  She’s learning quickly how to fit into our home and is getting along well with our two dogs. She is just learning about toys and treats and she enjoys both. She is still a puppy and needs some work on manners but overall she is really easy. She sleeps quietly through the night in a kennel but is not a fan of going in.  Once she is in she is quiet. She has not had any accidents in the house. She is energetic but not over the top. She walks ok on the leash but could use some work on it. Overall she is a sweet easy going pup looking for a furever home where she can be right by your side. "

Adopt Me: Duke, an 8 year old Male Yellow Labrador, is looking for his forever home.

Here is a bio from his foster family:

Please read carefully!

"Duke is just amazing. He is very gentle and a real love bug. He likes to play with tug toys and balls, and loves a walk. He eats anything, not picky at all. He does need to shed a few more pounds, so he is on a diet. Don’t tell him, he doesn’t know. When he is finished with his food, he’ll even bring the bowl to you to fill up again. Nice try Dukey!!! He uses a dog door, and will stand by our gate when we leave to wait for us to return. He sleeps in bed with us, and sometimes gets out of bed and lays on the floor next to the bed. He can be mouthy when playing, is very gentle and responds to “No”. Duke is very obedient. He knows sit, stay, down, go to bed, bring me your bowl, come", and perhaps a few others. He will go in his crate, but he has free run of our house. He has a “person”, and is very attached. Duke is like Velcro with his favorite person. Duke does get along with other dogs, but we are unsure of cats.

Duke had a very rough period of adjustment coming in to foster care, he really loved his original family, and now totally trusts his fosters. There will be an adjustment period, and will need extra time, patience and love to adjust to his furever home. Duke is also treated for dry eyes and gets 2 different sets of drops, twice a day. He is pretty good about the drops, but it can be tricky. We have it down to a science and can teach any adoptive family the tricks. This boy is one in a million."

IMPORTANT: Duke has Addison’s Disease , so the adopting family will need to take him for regular vet visits to get a shot to maintain his system. It is under control now, as we and our vet worked diligently to find correct meds and dosage. Duke currently needs the medication every 10 weeks and price can vary between veterinary hospitals.
