Meet Daisy
Are you ready to change a dog's life? Let me introduce you to Daisy, a 6-year-old female Labrador with a heart full of potential. Daisy was initially purchased for breeding and spent most of her life in a pen with four other dogs. However, her life took a turn for the better when Lab Rescue came to her aid.
Now, thanks to her foster family, Daisy is experiencing the warmth and love of living inside a home. This transition has been quite the journey for her, filled with new sights, sounds, and people. The stress of these changes has been a challenge for her, but slowly she is improving and her training is beginning to reshape her emotions.
Daisy has amazed everyone with her leash skills. She walks calmly by your side, taking slow strolls and fully engaging in sniffing and absorbing her surroundings. Trust is paramount for Daisy, and once she builds it, she will follow her person everywhere.
Toys were an unfamiliar concept to Daisy in her early life, but she is slowly discovering the joy of play. She has started to enjoy snuffle mats, Kongs, feeder balls, and lick mats. Daisy even plays with a few plush toys and her large rope toy. Her progress has been heartwarming to witness.
Daisy continues to overcome her past and make strides forward. She is looking for a quiet home where she can explore the world at a leisurely pace, savoring every new experience. Could you be the person who gives Daisy the loving forever home she deserves?

Meet Lure
Hi, I'm Lure! I'm a happy, active girl who thrives on adventures that include longer, quick-paced walks and exploring new sights. I absolutely adore human attention—if you're offering love, I'm right there, ready for some snuggles.
I'm quite playful and I enjoy my playtime with K9 friends. Some of my favorite things are stuffed Kongs, Bully Sticks, and stuffed bones. When my family comes home, I get so excited that I might need a little reminder to keep all four paws on the floor. I can't help it—I'll often carry my beloved stuffies around and prance and wiggle.
I do have a big bark when friends come to visit, but it's only because I'm super excited to meet them. You'll see me wiggling around with joy! I have a heart of gold and I'm a true sweetheart. I love to snuggle and I'll often rub my face on you to show just how affectionate I am.
I'm looking for a loving home where I can continue to be the playful, adventurous, and loving dog that I am. Are you ready to welcome me into your life?
Hope you get to meet me soon! Lure

Cats- will chase
Meet Doug
There’s nothing I love more than toys! Toys that squeak, toys I can toss around, balls I can chase and retrieve — even toys stuffed with food to help me settle down. I’m a fun-loving, social boy who will happily shower you with kisses. I’m looking for a family that’s ready for an outgoing and active companion like me.
I love kids and enjoy playing with them, but sometimes I get a little too excited and can be a bit mouthy with the littlest ones — I’m still learning! I’m a silly, bouncy guy who’s highly food motivated (which makes training extra fun!). I get super excited to meet new people and other dogs, and I’m always ready to make a new friend.
I’d love to find an active family where we can work together on my training and have lots of adventures. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and enthusiastic buddy, I could be the perfect fit!

Meet Rex
I’m a beautiful Yellow Labrador, and I’ve got to tell you—I’m all about love and pets! Seriously, if you start giving me attention, you better be ready because I’m going to push right in and make sure I get my share of lovin'. I love all people and don’t need any time to warm up. If we meet, I’ll be wiggling with excitement and ready to be your new best friend right away.
I’m super social with other dogs and have great manners around them. Sometimes, I’ll even roll over to show my belly—gotta keep the peace and maybe score a belly rub, right? I love playing tug with my dog friends, and when it comes to playing ball, I’m pretty awesome at it. I’ll bring it right back to you, ready for another round!
I’m definitely food-motivated (what Lab isn’t?), so that makes me easy to train. I get excited easily, but once I’ve had some exercise, I’m happy to settle down and snuggle up next to you. I thrive on human companionship—being close to my people makes me happiest.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful buddy who will stick by your side through thick and thin, I’m your guy. Let’s make some memories together!

Has Epilepsy ( Controlled by medication )
Meet Gus
Hi, I'm Gus! I'm a friendly, well-socialized boy who loves making new friends everywhere I go. I'm full of energy and always up for a game of fetch or tug-o-war, but once I've had my fun, I know just how to settle down and relax. I spend my days at doggie daycare and the dog park, where I'm surrounded by pals who make every day exciting. One of my favorite things to do is parade around with my prized toy—it's like my own little trophy that I love showing off to everyone! I also have a thing for chewing bones and snuggling up for some quality cuddle time.
I do have epilepsy, but don't worry—my medication keeps it under control, and it doesn't stop me from living my best life. Whether I'm playing, chilling, or just being a calm, affectionate companion, I'm always ready to bring a little extra joy wherever I go.

Meet Ellie
Meet Ellie, a spirited 7-month-old bundle of joy! With a passion for rough and tumble play, this little dynamo’s energy is boundless. When she meets other dogs, Ellie’s loose, wiggly body language says it all—she's ready to make friends and have a blast!
Ellie thrives on playtime and would be over the moon to have a doggie friend by her side. As she’s still learning about the world, her curiosity is endearing and her playful antics will keep you entertained for hours. One of Ellie’s cutest quirks is her habit of corn cobbing on blankets or people—an adorable behavior that will melt your heart.
Super playful, lively, and a tad shy, Ellie balances her high energy with a gentle, affectionate nature. She's also cat-friendly, showing curiosity but always respecting her feline friends.
Ellie is looking for a loving home where she can grow, play, and continue to discover the world. Could you be the perfect match for this delightful pup?
