Adopted: Cosmo, a 10 month old Male yellow Labrador, is looking for his furever home.

Here is a bio from his foster home...

"Cosmo is a sweet natured, gentle soul that will need extra time and love to feel secure with his people. He is shy and timid at first, but warms up to people after a little time. Cosmo needed extra time in foster care to build trust and lay some training foundations, and we now believe he's on the right path to be a great companion. With continued love, security and guidance, Cosmo will open up even more in the future.

Cosmo is house trained, and learned to go in/out the dog door as needed. He loves to chase a ball, but isn't alway great on bringing it back. Cosmo is fantastic with other dogs. While he wants to play with our senior, he gives her proper respect and doesn't push it. He has had another foster puppy with him for a bit, and he really loves being the 'big brother'. With dogs, he takes cues well, and generally love to play and curl up with them. He would probably do well with cats as well, he has a very gentle & accommodating to other dogs. He does OK on leash, and needs more work to be fully trained. Working on commands (sit, leave it, etc) are a little more complicated with Cosmo, and he needs extra patience and kindness to understand training is a positive for him.

Cosmo doesn't like the crate, but has learned to be comfortable in a crate/pen combination. He'd prefer to be with humans, and sleeps better through the night where he can see the humans.

Cosmo will make a great companion with a family that is willing to take time, love and patience to continue to build his confidence, with postive reinforcement training."

Adopted: Jack, a 3 month old Male Chocolate Labrador, has found his furever home.

Here is a bio from his foster family...

Please read carefully, as Jack has 3 requirement followup appointments with our vet.

"Jack is an adorable puppy, so cute and playful. Like with any puppy, Jack needs a strong leader to guide him through the stages of puppy life, and help him transition to a happy, well adjusted adult. Jack is very smart, strong willed and energetic. He is mouthy & chewy, and needs consistent boundaries to help teach good behaviors and expectations. He is doing very well with house training, with a consistent schedule of outside time. Jack is working through crate training, and while he currently doesn't like being contained, we're working on teaching him the crate is a safe place, as well as a pen. As with any puppy, it will take time to train him to walk on leash, sleep through the night, along with other commands. As he is smart and driven, training is an excellent way to both teach him expectations and work him physically & mentally. Jack is also very snuggly and affectionate, loves his people as well as other dogs.

Jack will do well with a family committed to his training, working on behavior expectations and seeing him through the puppy stage. We're confident with the right plan, Jack will grow into a strong, confident amazing dog."

Jack has 3 remaining appointments with our Vet, that are a part of his adoption agreement. He needs 2 more rounds of puppy boosters, along with his neuter. Before submitting a request to meet Jack, please make sure you'e willing to abide by these conditions for adoption.

Adopted: Stella, a 3 month old Female Chocolate Labrador, has found her furever home.

Here is a bio from her foster home:

Please read carefully, there are future medical requirements as part of the adoption.

"Little Stella is a fantastic puppy. She likes to be with you but she is also content being in a pen with her toys. She hasn’t had any accidents in the house but we also take her out every 30 minutes and reward her when she potties outside. She is already retrieving toys and has dipped her toes in the pool and seems to enjoy water. She gets along with our 3 dogs and is very inquisitive. We have introduced her to a leash and she is a quick learner. She sleeps in a crate with minimal objections, usually just a short howl. Stella is a high drive puppy and as with all puppies will require constant supervision, positive reinforcement and training. She has begun trying to jump on furniture which could be dangerous to her growth plates if allowed to jump down on hard surfaces. We’ve caught he twice and had to pick her up and gently set her down. She has major potential and will thrive in a calm house, with patience and continued training."

Families with small children should be aware that Stella will be going through her mouthy, chewy stage, and need supervision around them at all times to ensure safety.

Stella has 3 remaining appointments with our Vet, that are a part of her adoption agreement. She needs 2 more rounds of puppy boosters, along with her spay. Before submitting a request to meet Stella, please make sure you'e willing to abide by these conditions for adoption.

Adopted: Gunner, a 4 year old Male Yellow Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.

"Gunner is a focused, well behaved, loveable four-year old yellow lab. He is very friendly and seems to instantly love everyone he meets. He loves kids and anyone who will play with him. His favorite game is fetching (preferably with a ball) and would do that most of the day if he could. He is very attentive and eager to please, always doing his best to do exactly what you ask of him. He is active and looks for non- destructive ways to keep himself busy. He can be vocal when overly exited or if he wants to play. This is not barking, but more like excited talking. Gunner knows most of his basic commands and is working on walking on the leash without pulling. His recall is excellent, and he knows his name. He will excitedly run to you if you make it sound interesting. He is potty trained and has had no accidents during his time with us. He learned to use the doggy door, with the help of our lab, and has been self-sufficient since. He loves to eat and drink (like most labs).   

Gunner does well with other dogs. He interacts and is cordial with other dogs but would rather play fetch or tug of war with a person. He has not been exposed to cats or other small animals as we have none. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night without issue. He has been left alone in our house unsupervised and was observed patiently waiting or relaxing in his crate with the door open. He will happily jump up on the sofa or bed, but only if invited.  

Gunner has been a pleasure to have in our home. He is smart, well-mannered and lovable. His happy demeanor, passion for play, love of fetch and attentiveness are his strong traits. He loves to be active, but also understands when it is time to relax and is happy to do so. He will do well in any home, including those with children and other pets. He is looking for someone to play with him and to take care of him as a loyal companion or as a family dog. "

Adopted: Chance, a 3 year old Male Silver Labrador, has found his forever home. Here is a Bio from his foster family…….."Chance is a big, strong, energetic boy that is also sweet and affectionate. Chance is crate & house trained, sleeps through the night, and has had some prior training. He does need a refresher course in not jumping on people, but he's smart and a fast learner. Chance would do well with an active family, and those with small children should be cautious, as he can easily knock you over with his exuberance. "

Chance currently has the maximum allowed meet requests, please watch for updates.

Adopted: Blu has found his furever home!

Updated medical information on Blu:

Upon removing scar tissue from Blu’s head, we have learned he has mast cell tumor, a form of skin cancer. Through several tests and evaluations, we have determined the cancer has NOT metastasized, and remains local to the are it was discovered. Blu is undergoing 2 round of electro-chemotherapy to treat the area the cells were found, and we expect a full recovery. Blu is a wonderful dog and deserves a furever home, as we believe he has a long life ahead of him.

If you’re interested in adopting Blu but have questions about his medical care, please email [email protected].

"Blu is a big playful boy. He gets very excited to see you and can be a bit high energy, but in not too long, he does calm down and will lay around. He does not get mouthy with hands petting him. He is very sweet and a little goofy chasing his tail at times. He seems to do well with other dogs, and tries to initiate play with his foster sisters (who are not playful). 

Around the house, he has not been destructive to any of our furniture, belongings, etc. He loves to be by his humans and will whine/bark a bit if left alone in a pen or crate where he can’t see you. He hasn’t had any accidents in the house either. Due to his size and energy, he would do best in a home with no small children. Im sure he wouldn’t mind a dog who will play with him… or he can take all the pets and attention for himself!"
