Happy Tail: Cupid

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."

Adopted: Durango, a 5 month old Male Black Labrador

Adopted: Durango, a 5 month Black Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a bio from his foster family:

"Durango is a typical lab puppy with energy, excitement, and lots of snuggles. We are working on potty, crate and doggy door training and he is starting to figure it out. He is not a big fan of being left alone in the crate and has a typical stress response, but if he is in it for forced "nap time" and there are other dogs, humans, or the TV is on, he gets settled in just fine.  He is working on "come", "place", "potty", and "kennel" and gets better every day. He gets along well with our 3 senior dogs and respects their boundaries.

Durango is pretty skittish in new situations, sounds, and people but picks things up pretty quickly. He is highly intelligent and is paying attention at all times and he is adventurous and playful all the while he can be pretty mellow (for a puppy)!

Durango will need a caring and loving family who is committed to making him feel safe and secure and you will see his personality shine! He will need patience and consistency and will grow into a fine addition to a very lucky family. "

Adopted: Jackson, a 5 month old Male Black Labrador

Adopt Me: Jackson, a 5 month old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a bio from his foster family:

"Jackson is an extremely sweet and playful puppy. His ideal furever home is one that will be patient with him and support him when he’s unsure about how to handle a situation as he grows up.

He is already people-oriented and will look to you for reassurance if he hears loud noises or sees something “scary” (bikes and scooters are officially okay but he still isn’t a fan of skateboards on his walks!).

While Jackson is very playful with other dogs and people, he also enjoys a good cuddle and takes his nap time very seriously.

As a young puppy, he is working on his potty training and being able to stay an entire night in his kennel, but he is making great progress. He has almost mastered his sit, especially if you have a treat, and is quickly picking up fetch.

Jackson has been around small and large dogs, cats, and children. He is very respectful of other dogs and cats. He is a little skittish around younger children (5-6 or younger), especially if they are high energy, but does great with older children who understand how to behave around dogs.

Jackson will be a fantastic fit for a family that will provide him structure, keep his mind engaged so he’s not bored, and are looking for a gentle soul to keep them company!"

Adopted: Kevin, a 5 month old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a bio from Kevin's foster family:

"Kevin is a very energetic, goofy puppy and needs a forever home that will give him every aspect of training needed for a puppy.  
We are currently working on potty training and he has been doing well, couple accidents here & there. 
He has a tendency to be skittish sometimes & gets scared of quick movements and loud noises (but not the vacuum, sleeps right through it!)
He likes to crawl on you to get love. 
He gets along with dogs & teens, not sure about kids.
Kevin just needs a loving home & time invested in him. Kevin will be a great companion for an active family committed to his training, teaching him boundaries and building his confidence."
