LRGR Foster To Adopt
The Foster to Adopt (FTA) program offers a wonderful chance for LRGR to assist a dog requiring rescue. Approved adopters can pair with an FTA-approved dog, intending to adopt. Throughout the FTA period, LRGR ensures the dog is examined by one of our approved veterinarians, receiving all necessary vaccines, fecal and heartworm tests, and spay/neuter procedures at our cost.

Hi, I'm Gus! I'm a 1.5-year-old Lab Mix who loves playing with all kinds of dogs. My favorite activity when I'm with my canine pals is a spirited game of tug-of-war. For solo fun, I like to throw my wubba or rope into the air and snatch it up.Adventure walks are my favorite! Whether we're sniffing through trails or exploring the neighborhood, I get super excited and wiggle from head to toe. I'm also a great car rider—I hop right in and settle down nicely.I have a short, shiny coat that sheds very little, especially compared to my foster siblings who shed a lot.. I love chewing on Benebones and snuggling on the couch. When it is time to settle down for the day, I'll squeeze into the perfect spot next to you, no matter how small. At bedtime, I love to snuggle in the bed and I'm always happy to share your pillow.I can be a bit shy around new people and need some time to warm up to strangers. But once I get to know you, I'm playful, quirky, cuddly, and full of playful energy. I can get a bit skittish if something spooks me, but with a little patience, I come around.Understanding my occasional shyness and seeking a loving, playful companion, I might just be the perfect new member for your family!

I'm one handsome chunk of chocolate, if I do say so myself! With my sleek lab lean and a never-ending craving for love and affection, I'm an absolute pleasure to be around. I'm playful and energetic, but I also make a great snuggler and companion.
I'm off-leash trained, and I love to explore, but don't worry—I always stay close to my human. I need plenty of outdoor playtime, and I especially love tug-o-war and chewing on bones. I'm social and get along well with other dogs.
One of my favorite things is my blanket. I like to carry it around with me and often fetch it from my crate several times a day. I'm truly a sweetheart and would love to find a forever home where I can share all my love and joy.
