Molly is a purebred 9 week old female Lab Pup. She has something called a "distal radial growth plate" injury and needs surgery. The vet isn't sure if her mom stepped on her or what but she needs a surgical repair. Without surgery she will be in pain and have to have the leg amputated. We have an estimate of $1,200 to $1,400. Please help us help Molly

IN MEMORIAM
ZOE

Zoe was a Lab mix with a gimpy leg. She came to us from the Sacramento SPCA...where she went unadopted. She was 7 years old. She was adopted and so well loved by Steve Kyle and Spearman. They saw how special she was and she loved them as much as they loved her. Zoe crossed the Rainbow Bridge this week....her legs simply gave out.
Labs ask so little and give so much. Sleep well dear Zoe, we will miss you.

NEW ANIMAL POISON HOTLINE SERVICEA new 24-hour hotline is available for pet owners and pet caregivers who are concerned about their pet's well being after ingesting an unknown or toxic substance: http://vetmedicine.about.com/library/news/blpoisonhotline.htm

BLAIN -- PUPPY --    

Blain is a 4 month old adorable black male puppy. I'm waiting for my "perfect family" Housebroken, great with other dog, loves to ride in the car. No small children please. Puppies are a huge undertaking. Be prepared for obedience school and home training. We are very careful where our puppies go so be prepared for an interview

BO #2 --

7 month old yellow male. This boy is simply beautiful and he knows NOTHING. His owner had no idea how much training and discipline and exercise Lab puppies needed when she got him as an 8 week old puppy. He is housebroken although he is used to being outside. Obedience school is a must. Bo is great with other dogs, has been around children and is a perfect "diamond in the rough"

BROOKE --

Brooke 7 year old chocolate female. Brooke comes to us from a well known breeder of show Labs. Brooke has been a brood bitch and has produced some beautiful puppies with her great mellow temperment. Brooke's last litter is 3 weeks old and Brooke is retiring from her mommy duties. It will take a few months for her to regain her figure. As a breeding Lab she has had her hips, elbows and eyes cleared for any genetic defects and yes she is AKC registered with a very impressive pedigree. Brooke loves everybody, other dogs, kids, ignores cats. She is housebroken

BUDDY #3 --

9 year old chocolate male. His family lost their job and their home and Buddy is now looking for a new home where he can continue to be the pampered pooch. He is well loved, well cared for, and has nice manners. He is a house dog who enjoys his comfy bed to sleep in. He is an active, don't call him senior citizen, happy boy who loved his cats, and is fine with other dogs after a proper introduction.

CAPPY --

7 year old AKC Registered chocolate male.

This boy comes with a pedigree and lots of notes from his loving family. Cappy has been very well loved and cared for but his family can no longer keep him.

Cappy is just the sweetest, gentlest boy...housebroken, trained, loves everybody. Cappy knows sit, stay, down, play dead, tippy toe, fetch. He loves to swim and he loves his stuffed toys. He is great with other dogs, ignores cats. Cappy had a siezure a year ago and has been on medication ever since. He is totally seizure free as long as he takes his meds twice a day. He is very, very overweight so we have him on a diet. This boy is absolutely "bomb proof" and would love a family with small children to love.

CHARLIE #2 --

2 year old black male, a little shy at first, but a pet on the head changes everything. Charlie is housebroken, good with kids and other dogs, and he used to live with a cat. Charlie does have some food allergies, we were told, so he is on a special doggie food, no table scraps for Charlie. He doesn't seem to mind that very much as long as he gets lots of love. We will know more about Charlie soon.

CINNAMON --     Adopted! Thank You!

7-8 year old petite, blond female. I like the company of other dogs, I don't mind cats, and l love to be around people. I especially like little people because they give me all kinds of treats at my foster's home. I am very mellow and well behaved, but don't confuse me with senior citizen....I love to take walks, play with little humans, f o llow big humans where ever they go, and I can even play with my K-9 friends if they want to.

I am housebroken, and I know how to use the doggie door. I do have one request for my new family...I have to have my own dog bed. I love to take naps on my bed while my humans are watching TV or otherwise busy with many household chores. I can entertain myself just fine while waiting for some attention, treats and pets. To summarize, I am one perfect Labrador so if you have an empty dog bed, I am all yours.

DUKE #2 ---     Adopted! Thank You!  

Duke is a tall, handsome, about 2 year old black male. He came to a local shelter as a stray, but we soon discovered that Duke has had some training. He is house trained and has nice house manners. He is also crate trained but happily sleeps on the cool tile on these hot summer evenings. Duke is a friendly, happy, social guy who loves playing a game of fetch with his foster's dogs but settles quietly in the house when playtime is over. Duke gets very excited at the sight of a leash and it takes him a few minutes to get into the hang of a walk. With his long legs, he'd probably make an excellent jogging partner too.

DREYFUS --  

Dreyfus 2 year old Lab/Aussie cross chocolate male. This boy is pure Lab....his body may say mix but inside he is all Lab. He has the most wonderful temperment....happy go lucky and what we call "Bomb Proof" He has never met a dog he didn't like and he absolutely adores children. He is housebroken but lately he has been an outside dog. Poor Dreyfus had a really bad start in life...he was hit by a car and broke his hip socket and femur. We did a surgery called an FHO (Femoral Head Osteotomy) and he has recovered completely...you would never know he had a problem. Oh he has a shorter tail....probably from the Aussie side of his parentage. If you have a toddler who wants a big teddy bear to hug, Dreyfus is for you.

FIDEL --

Fidel 2 year old black male. This sweet boy wandered onto a ranch and no one came looking for him. Well the owner already has 4 other big dogs, so Fidel needs a new home. While he has been a guest he has learned manners and is housebroken. He has also learned that sleeping in his hostess' bedroom and on the bed is a great thing. He is great with the other dogs, loves everyone he meets and would love a family with children to call his own. Fidel is very much a puppy who needs some training. He is very loving and wants to be with someone all the time ... then he is happy. He walks well on a leash and loves to be loved. He still likes to chew items. He will sleep in a crate. He really enjoys being with his foster's dog, and we think he would be very lonely alone - he either needs to be with people or another lab.

GINGER --

Ginger is a 3 - 4 year old yellow female. This lovely girl showed up at her foster's home and after ads in the paper, flyers, notice at the Shelter, amazingly no one came for her. She is so sweet. Obviously housebroken, wants to come inside...she is living on her soft bed on their front porch...no fence & doesn't go anywhere. She will chase the cats, but isn't serious about it....she'll chase the chickens but hey, she's a Lab. Her foster's childred have been feeding her way too much....she keeps telling them her bowl is empty so she must be hungry.....she's now on a diet. She loves car rides....jumped right into the crate. She is at the vet having an injured ear treated, being spayed and getting all her innoculations then she'll be ready for her "forever" home.

HERBIE --     

Herbie is a happy, fun loving 1 1/2 year old chocolate male. He was picked up as a stray and taken to a rural shelter where they think he may have jumped from a truck because he has a few healing scrapes. He enjoys the company of people and other dogs. He knows the basics and walks pretty well on a leash. His coat is really sun bleached, but with continued brushing, the dark mahogany will shine through in no time. Then Herbie's coat will shine along with his personality. Herbie is showing us that he has nice house manners too. He is just a happy guy--you can't help but love him.

IZZY -- PUPPY!!

WE HAVE PUPPIES We got a call from a vet, a sweet black female was abandoned and ready to POP. Our great foster Kim took her in, whelped the litter and here they are.

Izzy, yellow female

They are 4 weeks old and will be ready for their new homes June 12th We are very particular about puppy adoptions,

puppies are a huge committment and we want only the best for these babies, so be prepared for a really stiff interview

JAKE --

Jake is a 6 year old purebred black male. Not only is he regal looking, his pedigree backs it up. He's a large boy but not fat. He's also an alpha, but don't take that in a bad way.
He knows his place in the pack and once introduced, he gets along great with others. He lives with other large males and small dogs and other foster dogs coming and going and he gets along great with all. He's house trained, knows basic obedience, walks well on a leash, and likes car rides. He's content to be what his foster calls 'the laidback statesman'. He's been overlooked and we don't understand why...he's a wonderful, loyal lab.

JJ --

JJ is a 2-year old yellow male is the kind of dog that would shine with someone to play with and teach him to play ball and actually bring it back :)  he is a bit alpha so as far as other dogs, he would like a friend that he can be boss over but will still play with him.  JJ is very loving and has lots of energy so he needs an active family that will let him hang out with them and go with them anywhere they want to take him.  Camping would be fun.  JJ would also serve as a great watch dog.  He is not necessarily agressive but will for sure let you know if something is wrong.  JJ could use and would greatly benefit from an obedience class.  JJ walks on leash and knows sit.  Cats? Dont know.   JJ has not had a chance to be an indoor dog so he would need a few suggestions on where his "business" place was and a doggie door would help him learn alot faster 

KIRA --

2 year old Purebred, AKC registered chocolate female. Kira was to have been bred...when the owner found he needed a breeder /kennel permit he let her go. We're delighted, she is so sweet and gentle. Now she is still a very young Lab with lots of "puppy" left in her but she wants to please so she'll be so easy to train. Did we mention she is absolutely gorgeous and not very big....about 65lbs.

KOBE #4 --

Kobe #4 is an 8 year old chocolate male who is an easy going guy who just wants to love love love you! He has dropped a couple of pounds and is looking for a home with someone who can take him for a casual walk and be there for him to sit by.    Kobe would be ideal for someone who is looking for a mature dog who is self sufficient and does not need a lot of attention other than your companionship.    This quiet gentle dog will be the perfect addition to your home. There is no adjustment period for this boy, he settles in and will make himself right at home. He gets along well with his foster brothers and does not bother the cats. He can go to a home as the only dog or with other dogs and will be just fine.

KUVO --

2 year old, drop dead gorgeous yellow male. This boy is an AKC registered purebred. His owner was going to breed him until he found out he lives in s restrictive County which requires a breeding permit so Kuvo needs a new home. Kuvo loves to fetch and we think he would hunt. He is an active boy so probably too much for toddlers. We'll know more after he's been with a foster for a few days.

LEROY --

Leroy is a 16 week old chocolate male puppy. This boy had a really hard time coming into the world....he wasn't breathing and his breeder brought him back. He has a "lazy eye" we don't know if it was the result of his birth but the doggie eye specialist says it won't get better and it won't get worse. One eye just doesn't focus straight ahead and we think he is near sighted. Other than that he is a happy goofy puppy. The picture with the red eye is the camera....he does not have a red eye. Now, Leroy will never hunt and he probably won't fetch a ball....he goes after things and misses by about 6" Other than that we think he's pretty adorable. He comes from a blood line that produces beautiful and very mellow Labs and yes he is AKC registered.

MASON ---     Adopted! Thank You!

Mason is a tall handsome 4 year old black male. He's a lab/golden retriever cross according to his people who had to give Mason and his sister Meeka to rescue after they jumped a 3 foot fence to get to the neighbor's chickens. It's hard to believe because Mason is a calm, well mannered gentleman. He gets along with a large male and several small dogs at his foster home where they adore him. He's very playful enjoying a good game of chase with the little dogs and he loves his stuffed animals. He's house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, rides well in a car, and knows some basic obedience. You couldn't ask for a better dog...just past the crazy youngster stage but still young enough that you will have lots of happy years ahead

MASON #2 ---     Adopted! Thank You!  

Mason #3 2 year old obviously purebred yellow male. This adorable boy came to us from the Calaveras County Shelter. So far we know he is good with other dogs, don't know about cats. He loves everybody he has met. We have not had him with small children yet. Mason is going to a foster home on Friday and we'll know more about him after a few days.

Maggie and Murphy -- SENIORS

Maggie #3 and Murphy #2 10 year old siblings. These beautiful, purebred yellow girls have fallen on hard times. Their owner died and there were no family members to take them. Neighbors took them to the Shelter and we bailed them out. They are so cute and so fun....they love everybody, kids, dogs and cats. They still fetch their ball and as you can see, love the pool. They are housebroken and very much house dogs. We had them in a kennel for about 20 minutes and they complained loudly. We would love to see them find a home together but will seperate them if we have to.

MOJO --

7 month old Lab/Golden Retriever cross. Mom was a Golden, Dad was a yellow Lab. This is such a great combination....even Guide Dogs For The Blind are breeding this cross for the wonderful temperment. Now, that being said, Mojo is still very much a puppy and has had very little training. His owner works out of town and simply doesn't have time to work with Mojo. Mojo is "almost" housebroken and is great with other dogs. Don't know about cats

NEVADA NEEDS OUR HELP

Nevada doesn't have a Lab Rescue so we try to help. We need short term foster families in the Reno area willing to keep Labs for us until we can arrange to bring then "over the hill". We also need transportation. If you can help, please e-mail jackilab@comcast.net

PEPE --  

Pepe is a 1 year old neutered yellow male that was given up by his people because they did not have time for him. When we saw his sad face at the Yolo County Shelter we knew we couldn't leave him. Pepe is a little shy at first with people, though rough housing with his fellow 4 legged friends is how he passes his days. His owners say he's house trained, but coming from a kennel, he'll need a little refresher course. He seems much more confident with another dog as a buddy
UPDATE: Pepe is one sweet, goofy and friendly Lab....loves kids, other dogs, enjoys life to its fullest.....nothing bothers him. Pepe is also very quit, appears to be housebroken and loves to play with his dog friends. Little leash training and he will be just a perfect lab.

PIPPI -- PUPPY!!

WE HAVE PUPPIES We got a call from a vet, a sweet black female was abandoned and ready to POP. Our great foster Kim took her in, whelped the litter and here they are.

RIVER --

7 - 8 year old black male.  Found down by the River, hence his name, this 7 year old is Lucky find for us. He is VERY sweet, has a gentle mouth when taking treats, doesn’t bark or whine. “River” eats very slowly, can you imagine that? He loves to retrieve toys and drops them at your feet. Is a bit cranky around other dogs especially when they are eyeing his toys or what he thinks are his, but a quick slap of your hands and a deep “NO” he is focused back on you. Ignores foster’s one dog because she can't care less about him, but the other one is a bit too busy for him. River should go to an only dog home or one with a very submissive dog. Otherwise he is pretty much PERFECT, well at least the foster thinks so.

ROCKET --

2 year old thin, tall black lab who was rescued for the Sacramento City Shelter. He came in as a stray dog wandering around U street. The volunteers at the shelter named him Rocket because he is very energetic. He is very affectionate and would lie in your lap if you let him. He loves to chase the ball. He plays well with other dogs. He is crate trained. His foster mom is working on housetraining. He knows sit and down but will definitely need obedience training. He likes to shake. He loves to swim in his foster moms pool. He loves to go to the dog park and visit other dogs. He is thin right now but has already put on some weight.

ROCKY --

Rocky is an 8 year old black male.

Rocky is such a happy boy, he's happy when he's eating, happy when he's walking, and REALLY HAPPY when he's chasing his ball. Rocky is great with other dogs BUT he is food agressive so he has to be fed all by himself and all the bowls picked up when everyone is through. Rocky walks well on lead and knows sit and shake....he is learning down. Rocky takes a few minutes to settle in the house but a belly rub and he is the perfect boy. Rocky is good with children but he's a big active boy so children 6 and over would be best. Rocky came to us with skin allergies....we have him completely under control but he will need to be fed a fish and potato food and absolutely no grain at all for the rest of his life....this means treats too. Rocky is a love who is just waiting to give all his devotion to someone who will love him.

SHASTA #3 --

Shasta is about 9-10 years old yellow female who is looking for a quite home where she can spend her golden years. She is very well behaved, housebroken, and quiet lady. She gets along with other dogs as you can see from the picture, but a home with out small dogs and cats would be the best for her. She did bark and growl at the cat so we think she may do the same with a small dog even though we never saw it happened.    Shasta presently lives with 3 other Labs, 2 kids and one cat that she occasionally growls at.

SIERRA --

Sierra is a petite 7 year old black female. She's got gray on her muzzle but don't let that fool you. She loves to go for a daily jog or a good long walk. But then she'll settle in the house and be the perfect little girl. She's got excellent house manners, knows the basics, is generally sweet and mild. But, on occasion, her insecurity gets the best of her and she's not comfortable around children--big kids OK, but the smaller variety make her nervous. She's fine around small dogs but large ones bring out the worst in her. And cats are fun to chase. If you are looking for a devoted companion and you can offer a routine for Sierra, she'll give you years of happy kisses.

SKITTER ---     Adopted! Thank You!

Skitter is a slender 2 year old black male lab mix and he is looking for his forever family. Skitter came to the rescue, along with his two brothers, with abolutely no socialization skills. Skitter was kept in an outdoor kennel for the first two years of his life and he is just now beginning to adjust to life in the big world. Skitter is
very tentative and is slow to warm up in new situations. He's a nervous kind of guy at the moment and often hangs back when things are loud, but he really wants to participate in all the fun around him. He is very quiet and gentle and really loves to snuggle with his people. He even gives hugs with his doggy kisses! He loves to go for walks around the neighborhood and to sit and watch TV with his people in the evenings. He's housebroken and is crate trained. If you are looking for a gentle and loving boy who will love you forever if you take the time to work with him, he will be the dog of a lifetime.

TANK --

Tank 3 1/2 year old AKC eligible (though not registered) 100 LB Chocolate male who is all sweetheart and is so happy to see you he practically tap dances. Tank is a well cared for owner surrender and really needs a family who can be around a lot or take him with them most of the time as he just LOVES to be with people and will chew out of boredom. Tank is great with children, gets along with his fosters 2 dogs fabulously, and rides in a car well. According to his previous owner he will chase a cat if it runs but otherwise doesn't bother them (he has been fine with his fosters 2 cats). We are also told that he will not bother horses or cattle. He is housebroken and crate trained and has some very basic obedience training. Tank would be a great addition to a family but should probably go to a home with older children as the little ones could easily get knocked down due to his size.

TJ --  

TJ is a 2 year old black male.   TJ is the kind of guy who would play  well  with kids, any age. He likes water and is very gentle in temperment.  TJ has not had the pleasure of being around cats but i would not doubt with a little time he would be fine with one.  As far as other dogs, TJ would be fine.  He is not one to run the fence and bark at another dog getting excited, he is very affectionate as well.  TJ would be a great family dog to take on camping trips or just play with in the back yard.  TJ has not had the opportunity to be inside but he is very smart and i think with a doggie door to help, he would house train easily. TJ would also benefit and do well in a obedience class. 

TRAPPER --

Trapper is a 7 year and 7 months old black male. Under his very soft fur is some extra weight that he will lose when he is taken for walks and fed some low cal dog food. He is very gentle, eager to be loved, is very obedient, and great with kids. He gets along with other dogs as long as they are not pushy and considers cats and squirrels an Olympic event. He is house trained but has been outside for the last year since one of his owners has allergies. Trapper needs a home since his family is moving to a place where dogs are not permitted.

YAMIE -- PUPPY!!-     Adopted! Thank You!

**Fresno **

ASH --

Ash is a two year old black male. He rides well in the car and knows sit. He needs to learn how to behave in the house. He walks pretty well on a leash. He does well with female dogs but can be a bit macho with other males. We will know more when we have him a little longer.

**Fresno **

**Fresno **

Bailey --

Bailey is a small  very dark Chocolate female, approximately 5 - 6 years old. She is a sweetheart and just wants to be around you all the time. She would do best with someone who is home a lot.

She has had several litters in her day, and it shows.  Bailey was scooped up from a Fresno area Shelter where she had been  attacked by a pit bull .  She had minor surgery and her wounds are healing but all of her fur has not  yet grown back .

MORGAN --

Morgan is a 2 year old already spayed yellow female. She is good with big and little dogs and is very sweet. She rides ok in the car but could use a little more work on the leash. She is a big girl!

**Fresno **

His email is fariborz.ghafoori@us.army.mil

His cell number is (559) 307-9774

BARRY --

Barry is neutered. Someone shaved Barry's teeth down so he does not have sharp teeth. Barry would be a fantastic companion for someone who maby does NOT have alot of other dogs or cats. He is a love with a bit of an attitude. He seems to get along best with young and passive females. I do not know how he is with cats. With his teeth he probably could not hurt one.:) Barry is current on HW, GW, RABIES and has had a 2yr booster. Barry has been a donor so he is also cleared for HW and everything else.

Uncle Buck

Uncle Buck, as UC Davis honorably named him, is approximately 2 year old neutered black lab mix. He was picked up by the Sacramento County Shelter as a stray on the side of the road after being hit by a car. One of the officers liked him so much, he contacted UC Davis Vet Med and they took him and repaired his fractured shoulder. They did all his vet work which included neuter, heartworm tested (negative) and gave him his vaccinations. He is also micro chipped. He is still a playful puppy around 60 pounds. He loves car rides and sits nicely in the back seat looking out the window. Buck loves bully sticks that I get at Costco. He lays right beside me while I am petting him and chews his bully stick and loving all the attention. He was in a foster home in San Francisco for more healing and now he is ready for his forever home. He has good house manners and is house trained. We would like him to be the ONLY dog so he can be your BABY and he definitely knows how to fulfill that part!!! He does need a home without cats. We definitely want him to be part of the family and be inside most of the time. He will need a doggie bed right next to yours. Buck is a quiet boy and only barks when he hears something. As any dog going to home with children the parents should introduce to family cautiously and children should be supervised for first few weeks until dog is trusted completely. You can take him to the Dog Spot Rescue in Vacaville for training. Buck is in a foster home in Sacramento.
Contact his foster mom, Charlene, at cell (916) 743-9804 or home (916) 689-6131.

Astro

Astro wants nothing more than to have a happy home that will love and cherish him for many more years. He is a wonderful dog that is housebroken, obedience trained, non-destructive, quiet, crate trained, great in the car, loves to play fetch, etc. etc. WHAT'S THE CATCH? Astro is blind. He has Progressive Retinal Atrophy that slowly blinds a dog over time. He will require NO MEDICATIONS for this and gets along rather well with his disability. He sometimes bumps into things, or stands by the wall instead of the back door to come in, but other than that he is a happy-go-lucky lab. Astro is 6 years old and has been in our rescue for over a year now. He was adopted out last year and the owners had to make the difficult decision to return him after he nipped one of their children. It is unknown if he did this on purpose or it was "bad aim" for what he thought might be a treat. We had not seen any aggression in him before this incident, nor did the family, and we have not seen anything since. He does the happy dance with everyone he meets and seems to be a well adjusted dog. However, he will not be adopted into a home where he has regular access to children because of this. Astro is a fairly mellow lab that likes to lay on his pillow in the front room, or follow you from room to room and lay quietly near where ever you are. He gets excited when you first come home, if you have a treat, or when you want to play ball, but will quiet down quickly if you want to watch TV or need to sit and work on the computer. He is great being left in the house all day, or out in the yard with a dog house. Please contact us to learn more about Astro. His adoption fee has been waived to give him a chance for a great home. Astro is with Four Paws Pet Rescue in Vacaville. Contact fourpawspets08@yahoo.com.
