Adopted: Buttercup, a 6 year old Female Yellow Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is a Bio from her foster family……..

"Buttercup is a beautiful Lab with a heart of gold. She is so sweet, friendly and well-behaved that you think she's like a perfectly behaved little girl. But the great thing about Buttercup is that as sweet as she is - she's also ALL Lab in her personality.
She is just as happy to run around the back yard kicking up dirt to cover her tracks, or follow me throughout the house, or fling herself down at my feet looking for belly rubs when I am working at my desk.  She eats her meals daintily and is gentle when taking a treat. But she gets just as excited as my 'foodie' Lab who would knock over a tank to get to his food, whenever their meals are being served.
Buttercup is very affectionate, but independent enough to go walk-about in my back yard on her own and have a stretch and a sniff of fresh air. She's smart and quickly assessed the dynamics of our pack, found her place in it, and even knew when the moment was right to attempt getting up on the foot of the bed where my two Labs hang out.  And she was right - they let her stay!
She does not chew on shoes or anything else, and doesn't seem very interested in toys - dont think she might have had many in her life.  She learned to use the doggie door very quickly and knows commands such as come, sit and no. She pulls a bit on the leash, and while it's been too hot to take her outside and work on walking properly, she's willing to learn and is eager to please. She is a little bit of a counter-surfer and tried to get something off my kitchen counter twice. But she knew immediately when I said no, and she showed she was sorry (probably for being caught, though). And after being called on it twice, she has not gone near the counters since.

Buttercup is the whole package - a sweet little girl with a great Labrador personality. She will make a wonderful addition to any happy family."

Adopted: Wesley, a 3 year old Male Yellow Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Wesley is a handsome and curious big happy lab. He has already shown what a great addition he will make to a household. He does great with large and small dogs and shows no aggression towards the cats in his current foster home. He’s had no accidents in his kennel or inside the house and goes to the door to ask to go outside which leads us to believe he is house trained. We have a dog door and he has shown a little interest in that and we think he’d do well if you plan to have one in your home. He has been kenneled at night and while we are out of the house and while he barks for a bit at first, he settles down and doesn’t seem to mind it after a few minutes. He is quick to bond and eager to please while staying close by his family members throughout the day. Wesley is perfectly happy to lay down and watch tv while asking for belly rubs but gets great pleasure from going on walks or playing in the yard. A true retriever, he is delighted to chase a ball or toy around in the yard and will bring it back to you as thrown.
He is a little clumsy on the leash and will need some training in that area and he does great in the car. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a companion to have around the house, Wesley is your guy!"

Adopted: Athena, a 3.5 year old Female Silver Labrador, has found her forever home.

Here is an updated Bio from her foster family……..

"Athena is a gentle soul. She has a calm demeanor & loves to be near you. She will give you a gentle nudge & put her head on your lap when she wants attention. She loves to walk around the house & yard with her toys in her mouth.  She knows basic commands (sit & down), is house trained & easily mastered the doggie door.  Initially she was a bit over eager when taking treats, but has made progress using the "gentle" command. Athena tends to pull on walks, so she will need leash training. She doesn't like being confined in the crate, but she will go in & sleep as long as the door is open and you are close by. She sleeps through the night & likes to be close to her human.  We have noticed some separation anxiety, she doesn't like to be left alone.  She needs some more time and experience to build up her confidence, we have been working on this issue & have made some progress. Athena is very sweet. She is a laid back, affectionate lovebug.  She will need some training & patience in some areas, but will be a lovable, loyal companion."

Adopted: Kai, a 4.5 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"The first thing you need to know about Kai, he LOVES tennis balls. Yes, a basketball or soccer ball may do in a pinch, but this boys LOVES him some tennis balls. Kai would probably chase a ball for hours straight if he was allowed, but he's still recovering from his neuter, so he has limited exercise time.

Kai is sweet, loving and a perfect buddy dog. If he's not chasing a ball, he's happy to follow you around (with a ball in his mouth of course) and hang out. He is a typical mouthy Lab, and will woof at you to play with him. His wiggle-butt game is strong, and has such a good personality, it's hard to resist that face.

Kai rides well in a car, sleeps through the night, is house-trained and gets along with our dogs. Where Kai needs work is leash walking, as he's a big boy and pulls. He does not like the crate, and can be vocal, but we're working on making it a safe, comfortable experience for him. Kai will make an amazing companion for an active family committed to working on his training a bit more. He's super smart, energetic, and overall a lovely dog."

Adopted: Bandit, a 4 year old Black Male Labrador, found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Bandit is a handsome Lab with a little bit of hound mixed in for good measure!  He is very well-mannered, knows all his commands and is happy to comply. He eats without haste and is very gentle when taking a treat. He gets along great with my other two Labs, and fell right in with the pack and the pace of our home. He was happy and friendly meeting my family. 
Not a barker, but he's very alert. He is happy to wander off to the back yard on his own and hang out there, but even happier to be with the rest of the pack wherever we are. He likes his doggie beds, and will get up on the sofa or bed - if he can get away with it, only when he wants to cuddle with the people who are already there. He learned how to use the doggie door in about 5 minutes, and was great in my car.
Right now, Bandit's a bit overweight, and hopes his new family will help him with his diet and be sure he gets plenty of exercise every day.  Bandit's a loving, wonderful dog and will be a great addition to any home."

Adopted: Clyde, a 6 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his forever home.

Here is a Bio from his foster family……..

"Clyde is a very sweet boy. He is a bit timid but responds when called. He’s potty trained but does not know basic commands such as sit. I have a pup who uses a doggie door and Clyde has learned how to us it as well. I dont think it would take long to teach him basic commands. All he needs is a bit of patience and lots of love."
