Spring (#10-009)
Spring-The third of the brood, Spring loves the snow. She romps all around, plops down, catches her breath, and heads out again. Spring, and her sister Summer, have started to understand walking on a leash, once they saw their foster brother marching down the road. So off they went. At 10 weeks old, Spring plays hard, and rests harder. To be considered for one of the puppies, please complete an application.
Summer (#10-008)
Summer asked for us to help her sisters and herself. They are 10 weeks old, have had their first round of vaccines, are loving, enjoy being held, and eating well. They pranced right into their foster home and took over the foster brothers bed, climbed over him to nestle for a nap, and he said "fine". They like hunting for sticks, and playing with a tennis ball. Please complete an application if interested.
Maddie (#10-007)
She comes to us at 10 weeks of age with her 3 sisters. They are the most sweet pups you'll ever meet. Maddie has made herself at home with her foster brother and sister, nesting on his bed as though it is hers. She has had her first round of vaccines. Complete an application if interested.

Cody 2
(#10-005)
Cody 2 is a really very friendly boy and very playful. Pet him and he reduces to the floor looking to get his belly rubbed. He is getting along well with his 3 foster dogs. He knows sit with a hand signal and command. He knows to come when called Cody and he comes on command. We are working with him on lead but right now he gets distracted easily and is all over the place. He likes to chase the tennis ball and sometimes will bring it back. He's good in the crate at night . He's a quiet dog, hardly barks but he did chime in when a FedEx guy came up the driveway. Weighing in at 85 lbs., Cody is a big 1.5 year old. His housetraining is going very well. Being new to Lab Rescue, please give him time, and check back soon for updates. To be considered for Cody, please complete an application.
Tucker (#10-004)
It's happened again. A little boy has asked for our help. Tucker is about 1 year of age, and sweet as can be. He loves to retrieve, and is learning to give it back in order to play again. After a fun game of fetch, he enjoys a few ice cubes to cool down. Still having many of his puppy mannerisms, as in smacking his ice cubes with his paw to "get it", he will listen and learn quickly. Tucker needs some help with leash manners, and is catching on very quickly how to enjoy a walk. His foster sisters have welcomed him into their pack, which he is enjoying. He doesn't mind cats, just wonders what they are. Complete an application and a volunteer will contact you.
Sam (#10-001)
A yellow boy of 9 years, he is an active, loving lab. He chases after a ball, but bringing it back is not his cup of tea. If you want a lap lab, he is the one for you. He will shower you with affection, loves giving kisses and is quite laid back. Sam is very well mannered; only gets on furniture when invited, he goes and lays down without being told when his humans are eating. This boy enjoys his foster sister, who is a 2 year old lab, and keeps up with her all day, so don't let his age fool you. Loving the water, he is also good with cats, kids, and dogs. He would love his forever home for the New Year. Complete an application to be considered for this sweet boy.
Sasha (#10-002)
My name is Sasha, I am 9 years old and looking for a new forever home. Meantime, I'm beginning to settle in with my new foster family. It took me a little while, but I watched my foster brother for a day or so, figured out his favorite, comfy spots, then took them over as mine! I love the dog bed, the dog blanket in the den, and laying in front of the door in the sunshine. I don't think he minds sharing - after all, I am the lady of the house!! I enjoy taking a walk and having my belly rubbed - in fact, I groan to let you know just how much I love it. I would love to be a part of your family - just give me a chance to wrap you around my paw and submit an application!
Tessie (#09-028)
Coming to us at the young age of 10 years, Miss Tessie is smiling on the world. She rides great in the car, and stands at the door waiting for another excursion. This sweetheart walks well on lead, is up to date on shots, spayed, and ready for her new home. Tessie gets along well with other dogs, and her foster sister insists on cleaning her face for her! She doesn't mind a bit. At 65 lbs, she is a smaller lab, but her love is not. She will stay close to you the minute you decide rubbing her is the thing to do. Although she is ten years old, she is fit and healthy. Tessie just wants her forever home to love her, care for her, and give her a comfy bed to lie on. Can you offer this to her? Complete an application and a volunteer will contact you.
