Shelter and INDEPENDENT rescuers

SENIOR and "Special Needs" DOGS
CCLRR has a special place in our hearts for the senior Labs we rescue. They are such sweet, smart and gentle souls. We are seeing an unfortunate and alarming trend in "Senior Dumping" Older Labs are simply discarded at local shelters because the are "too old". Imagine how it must feel to be in your golden years, having devoted your entire life to your family, only to be taken to a shelter and dumped. Their chances of being adopted from a shelter at their age are slim and none. They are frightened, confused, and grieve for their family. We want them to live out the rest of their golden years in comfort, surrounded by love as these special dogs have so much love left to give, and ask so little in return. Are you that special family that can give a loving home to a wonderful Lab in their golden years?

 Our Senior and "Special Needs" Dog Adoption Fee is $100.00

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

 

ABIGAIL --

8 year old chocolate female. Abby is AKC registered and comes from a great pedigree. This is not your sedantary 8 year old. Abby is an independent girl who wants her people all to herself and she lives to retrieve! Abby has been formally trained and is very responsive to commands. She can play a little rough and has lots of energy, so no small children, but she does calm down and settle well. She would do well with an active family with some dog experience. Abby is not really good with other dogs, so she needs to be an "only" dog.

Bella --

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our sweet puppy Bella is coming along so well...her foster reports: Bella is now crate trained and almost potty trained, she has learned sit, stay, come and drop it and walks well on lead. Bella is VERY interested in birds...and loves to retrieve...we think she would hunt. Bella loves water
and tries to swim in her water bucket. She is interested in cats but is manageable with them. She loves to be with her humans and looks to them for direction but is learning it is ok in the yard without them.

 

SENIOR DOG

BAILEY --

Bailey is a 10 year old chocolate lab. He really loves to run around and play ball. Bailey has no idea that he is ten years old. His best pal is Teal but they don’t have to be adopted together so it would be nice if Bailey could have another dog to play with.  He’s just the cutest thing,  are you the one to give him his forever home? 

BAILEY --


Bailey is a 4-year-old yellow male. He is a big boy at 97 lbs. Bailey is AKC registered, neutered, knows basic commands and knows tricks like shake. Guinness is very mellow for his age, loves to be around people and is very friendly. He is housebroken, a good inside and outside dog, loves to play, swim and retrieve. He is good with other dogs, cats and excellent with kids. Bailey lives with two other dogs and a small child. Bailey lives with Guinness. Guinness and Bailey can be adopted together or apart. They get along great with each other and the Boston Terrier. The ir family has a small child and they are very good with her, even though they are HUGE! Bailey is a kisser and Guinness will "purr" when you scratch his head. Both are all around great dogs

SPECIAL NEEDS

Bo #2 --

Bo is a 5-6 year old black male who spent the first 4 years of his life tied to a chain on concrete. He was rescued by a kind couple who due to a lifestyle change, are unable to care for him. Bo has had ACL  (knee)  surgery on both legs and recently underwent a revision of his ACL surgery on his right leg. Bo can walk and run for short distances only. He loves to go for short walks and plays fetch. Bo does well with most dogs and ignores cats. He prefers to remain indoors with his people. He is housebroken, has lovely manners and is a love. Bo would be the perfect companion for an older person who wants a quiet, gentle companion.

 

Brandy --

 

BRANDY is a 7 year old black female. Don't let her age fool you; this girl has lots of energy. Her ideal home would consist of an active family, who loves the outdoors, with no small children (older children are okay). She needs a lot of exercise, so she would not do well being in a yard all day. Brandy has excellent house manners and would love to sleep indoors with her new family. She knows some commands: sit, down, stay, come, although a refresher course would be beneficial. Although Brandy has had some leash aggression in the past, she can meet and get along with other non dominant dogs just fine (but probably not cats). Brandy is like the energizer bunny; she goes on and on and on. She really needs someone who will exercise her and help her get her energy out. She would make a great running buddy.  

Bud --

 

Bud is a 5 year old AKC registered yellow male. This handsome boy has been professionally trained as a gun dog on both upland and waterfowl. He is obedience trained and is perfect both on and off lead. As a hunting dog he has spent most of his life in a kennel. Now he is ready for a life change. He will need to be housebroken, but that is so easy with an adult dog. Bud is a very active dog and we think children 10 and older would be best. No cats or small dogs.

 

BUDDY --

20 month old black male.  This boy loves ice cubes.  He is in heaven with one or two to chew on.  We can’t keep him out of the water. He will dump a 5 gallon bucket and lay in the water. He loves the swimming pool, being sprayed with the garden hose, even having a bath.  His one bad habit….Buddy drinks water from the toilet when in the house.  He seldom barks except when he wants to play and get your attention, he  loves to chew on his Nylabone for hours, he rides very well in both the front seat and back seat of a pick up and is vary calm. He walks on leash very well & knows heel, sit, stay & down..

Buddy  loves to retrieve but is not too good at giving the ball back.

He gets along very well with other dogs and is not the least bit dominant.  He goes into a crate quite willingly and does not make a fuss. Buddy is pretty well housebroken and lets you know at the door when he wants out. He is great when left in the back yard and does not try to jump or escape in any manner. He is not the slightest bit afraid of a vacuum, weed eater, blower, edger etc……He does jump on the furniture if he can get away with it and likes to sleep on the bed all night.

CAP'N --

( Formerly Isaac) 7 year old yellow male.   Cap'n  is an awesome guy. He weights in at about 110 lbs but is working on his figure. He seems to have lost a little weight already. His foster family will have a hard time parting with him. Cap’n has become an outdoor fixture at our place. He loves to sleep on the front doormat or in the yard most of the day and hang out with outside in the evenings and he never wanders away. Cap’n gets along with everybody, cats, dogs, people, and loves to wrestle and play with our little corgi mix. We’re not convinced that Cap’n is housebroken, which is part of the reason he’s outside. Because of his weight, we had him tested for thyroid problems and diabetes and he was free of both. In fact, the vet said the Cap’n is in awesome condition for such a heavy weight. All of his organ functions are great, he is very agile for his size and still very playful both mentally and physically, but never out of control. He has no problem getting in the car or up on the porch swing. Cap’n is just great to have around. A real sweetie pie. He wouldn’t be a good running companion or for activities too strenuous, but he is a super great family member to hang out with and love on.

Charlie --

 

Charlie is a 5 year old yellow male.  Have you ever wanted your very own teddy bear? Meet Charlie,  a  hefty labrador retriever weighing in around 85 pounds or so. It is a wonder how he ended up at the shelter as he is simply an easy going dog. He is a little shy at first , probably because of the unfamiliar surroundings, but warms up to people quickly and loves attention. Charlie is sharing a "room" at the kennel with another dog and they get along well, so Charlie would probably enjoy being in a home with other dogs or getting your attention all to himself. He's also showing signs of being housetrained but any shelter dogs needs a week or two of your time while you learn each other's routines. Charlie is good on leash and he is fun to play with.  We were told he likes to chase chickens, so a home without chickens and cats would be best.  He is on kennel  cough quarantine and we'll know more soon.   

CHOCOLATE --


11 month old black male. This adorable boy is housebroken and knows basic obedience. He is living in an apartment with his owners but can't stay there. Chocolate needs a new "forever home"

CINDY --

5 year Black Female who would love to spend her days with someone who likes a dog snuggling at their feet. She would be the perfect match for a person who works from home or doesn't spend long days away from home. She is a sweet dog, and loves to go for walks and car rides. She is very attentive and is good around children. She has a protective nature and alarm barks but does not bark recreationally.

Want to Know How To Adopt one of these nice Labbies?

Daisy #1--

Daisy Sweet 6 year old yellow female. This pretty girl is being harassed by a younger family dog and needs a new home. She is great with children, fine with quiet dogs but really doesn't want to be around goofy young ones. Daisy has been an outside dog but does come in from time to time and has never had an accident...she would love to become a house dog. By the way, she'll do anything for treats.

ADOPTED!! Thank You!     8/8

DAISY #2 --

Daisy is an almost 4 year old small black lab mix. And yes, there's something else in there by the looks of the ears, but her heart and soul are pure lab. She's wonderfully trained, adores attention, has been well socialized with other dogs, and is ok with cats if they are up for a game of chase. Her problem is she's never gotten over the fact that mom and dad brought a new baby home--now she has to share the attention.  Daisy is looking for a home where she can be the princess again--she's just a doll!

ADOPTED!! Thank You!

SENIOR DOG

ELLIOT --

Senior yellow male. This sweet gentleman wants a forever home for his retirement years. He has great manners as most senior Labs do but he still enjoys playing ball and going on easy walks. He likes other dogs...we don't know about cats. Are you retired? Want a perfect companion to hang out with? Come see Elliot

FUDGE --


3 year old chocolate female. This poor girl was hit by a car, taken to the Turlock Shelter who took her to the vet. Fudge was very, very lucky...she has a bad scrape on one leg and a few skinned places but no broken bones. She is absolutely scared to death...her tail is tucked as far as it can go and she just hunkers down on her belly. Can you blame her? She warms up to soft words and pets but it's going to take lots of kindness to bring out the happy girl she was. Fudge is very small, just under 60 lbs. We think she is going to be wonderful with lots of love.

Update: Fudge is such a loving female chocolate lab. Fudge is very timid at first, but will warm right up to kind words and pets. She is potty trained, and dog door trained, but could use some more house manners. She is great on the leash, never pulls on you, and doesn't get too distracted by anything but cars. Fudge has been trained to run next to a bicycle, and LOVES to go for runs around the block. However, she doesn't like being leashed. Once the leash is on, she is perfect. She gets along great with other dogs, but we aren't sure about her around cats. Fudge needs an experienced home that will give her confidence and a lot of exercise. Fudge is great with kids that have respect for dogs, she doesn't jump or chase them. Training her will be very difficult, and will need an experienced hand. She is very frightened of just about everything, and needs a lot of praise and leadership to get her through her past experiences. Fudge will be a wonderful edition to most families!

GOOSE --

Goose is a 5-6 yr old chocolate male,  Purebred but not registered, who is looking for a new home. His owner is unable to care for him due to health related issues. Goose has had extensive professional training and knows many commands. He is house broken and crate trained. Goose loves to run and swim. He is good with people and children. Goose is aggressive towards male dogs however he is good with female dogs. This boy will require an experienced owner who is willing to provide strong leadership and lots of activity. Goose has been trained by Elite Dog Training and the owner is happy to provide all his training information to the new owner.

 

GUINESS --


Guinness is an 8-year-old chocolate male. He is a big boy at 100 lbs. Guinness is AKC registered, neutered, knows basic commands and will show you tricks like shake and speak. Guinness is housebroken and is good both inside and outside.  He  is energetic and loves to play, swim and retrieve. He is good with other dogs, curious about cats and great with kids. Guinness lives with two other dogs and a small child.   Guinness lives with Bailey, a yellow lab. Guinness and Bailey can be adopted together or apart. They get along great with each other and the Boston Terrier. Their family has  a small child and they are very good with her, even though they are HUGE! Bailey is a kisser and Guinness will “purr” when you scratch his head. Both are all around great dogs.

Gwennie --

 

Gwennie is a 3 year old chocolate female.  This is  one  darling  Lab, just look at that face.  She's a bit shy at first but soon shows her bubbly side with gentle kisses and cuddles. She is a well-behaved  girl and walks on a leash without pulling. She also knows the command "sit" and maybe "down." Gwennie likes other dogs and probably needs a home without cats because she thinks they are for chasing. Gwennie is  not a big girl, she  weighs about  60 pounds. She is showing signs of being housetrained, but all shelter dogs need a week or two of your patience while you learn each other's routines. Because Gwennie is a bit shy and sensitive, she will be best in a home with older children. Gwennie  has kennel cough so she'll stay at our quarantine kennel for another week or so.

HAPPY --

9 year old yellow male. This is a large goofy boy. Yes he's on the edge of being a senior but nobody has told him...he gallops like a horse in pure joy. He is great with other dogs...moved right into his fosters home with 3 females and another male.....didn't lift his leg once and he is completely housebroken. He has great house manners except for the galloping up and down the hall....He has two paces, nap and gallop. He's pretty big for small children but he'd love to play with kids 8 and older. He follows the other dogs everywhere and really seems to like the company. So far we haven't seen any bad habits. He came to us with a huge fatty tumor which we had removed....we think he looks so much better and we know he feels better....this boy found his way to a Shelter and no one claimed him....we sure don't know why...he's a gem

HONEY --

16 month old yellow female. This sweet girl had a really bad start. She was sold as a puppy by her breeder...the owners tried some very rough training to turn her into a hunting dog...this gentle girl didn't do well so they were going to dump her at Animal Control. Well she's with a great foster family and is so sweet. She knows sit, stay a little, down, walks some on a leash, plays great with the family border collie, and is used to other farm animals like horses and goats. dont know about cats. her foster has 12 children up to 18 years of age and  Honey  does very well except in her crate which she is protective of. Honey would probably be good with children 3 and up. Honey is active but not out of control. Settles well .seems to be house broken.   With 12 children  her foster family doesn't have her in the house much.

JAKE --


18 month old gorgeous chocolate male. He was picked up by the Fresno shelter as a stray, hard to believe. This boy is a sweetie. He loves people, other dogs and to go on walks. He is a strong puppy and needs a strong hand to control him. Jake is working on come, sits and down with is foster mom and coming along nicely, but still needs to go to doggie school. He sleeps in a crate at night and loves lying in the shade on the lawn. Look at the pictures of this sweet boy, please come see him, all he wants is a place to call home!

Adopted! Thank You! 8/13

SENIOR DOG

KATIE --


9 - 10 year old yellow female who was rescued from the Fresno shelter and now lives at a foster home in Sacramento. She is a very sweet, easy-going old girl who is perfectly house-trained; she stays inside alone for 6-8 hours at a time without accidents or getting into anything. She loves to be around people and will follow you calmly from room to room until she finds a comfortable place to lay down. She has some arthritis, especially in her back legs, but loves to go on short walks and does an adorable little "dance" when she gets excited. She rarely barks, responds well to her name/commands, and rides in the car politely. She seemed perfectly happy with the few children she has met so far, but gets anxious around other animals. She would love to spend her senior years in a home with someone who can keep her company most of the time; she would be a perfect companion for a retired person or someone who works from home. Katie has a large fatty tumor on her hip. It doesn't seem to bother her and we aren't sure we want to put her through surgery for something that is cosmetic.


KODA
--

4 year old black neutered male with gorgeous fur, has a splash of white on his chest, weighs 87lbs, utd on shots, raised with kids, one is 7 years old, the others are teenagers. Owner would like Koda to have a family that could devote time to playing with him and walk him. He is housebroken, spends his day out in the yard and sleeps in the garage. He barks at newcomers but settles down after introductions. He will try to jump on you but responds to commands to not do so. He takes treats gently and when given a bone prefers to bury it instead of chewing it. He would be best placed with a family that has kids over the age of 5 because of his size and playfulness.

LOREN --

Loren and Sophia 6 month old black females.....these girls have a story. They came in as strays to the Garberville Shelter. Sophia has a very badly broken hind leg...a plea went out and our great volunteer Debbie went to work. She found transportation (with pillows and quilts for Sophia'scomfort) a great vet to do the surgery (a plate and screws) so now, Loren is ready for a new home and Sophia will be in recovery for a month or more. They are both so sweet, just grateful for every bit of attention you give them. They are obviously purebred and very well bred. We think with training they are going to be wonderful Lab girls

LOUIS --

one year old yellow lab mix. He is housetrained, crate-trained, and gets along with other dogs and cats. He likes the water and loves playing ball. Louis is a shy boy in new situations and with new people, so he needs a dog-savy family with children 12 and older who will be patient and work with his insecurities to make him the best companion ever.

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

Cindee Valentin and Bonnie Brown-Cali

These great people have donated their time to our Rescue dogs and also to the Contra Costa Sheriff Dept and the California Rescue Association. They have made wonderful progress with several of our Rescue dogs.

MAX --

This handsome 3 year old yellow male was surrendered to the Yuba County Shelter by his reluctant owner...her children are allergic to dog hair. We have very little information on Max but our volunteer said he is a typical active goofy Lab. Since Max spent a week at the Shelter, he is on kennel cough quarantine. We'll know more and update you in a week or so.

McKenzie --

 

McKenzie 4 1/2 year old chocolate female. Her  owners are going to be part of the US military family and will not be able to take her along. They have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is housebroken and stays indoors. She is very gentle with all the children who are 4 months old, 2 years, 10 years old. She also gets along with other medium and large dogs.........the small feisty ones she might try to chase.

Adopted! Thank You! 8/13

Mickey --

Mickey 6 - 7 year old yellow male. What a sweet guy but although Mickey is an "adult" Lab he is still very active....he will take you for a walk and you better be prepared to step out....no dawdling for this boy. He wants to see what's out there. He is good with other dogs, we think he would chase a cat. Good with older children, probably too active for toddlers. He loves to go in the car. We think he is housebroken. We'll know more when we have a report from his foster. Mickey is on kennel cough quarantine.

ROXIE --

4 month old purebred black female. Roxie is a PUPPY....really well started on obedience, almost housebroken, well socialized, crate trained but a PUPPY. She will chew anything you leave lying around and lessons learned must be reinforced with praise and repetition to stick. A puppy is a huge commitment...but lots of fun too. Not a good match for toddlers.

RUDY --


5 year old AKC registered chocolate male. This boy is simply drop dead gorgeous. He has a big blocky head and wonderful chunky body...a typical show type Lab. Now, Rudy hasn't been getting enough exercise and he really needs to lose weight. He is beautifully trained, knows sit, down, come, stay, fetch. He has been inside but only on his mat just inside the door. He would really like to be inside with his family, go on more walks and get out and about more. His owner's business takes all his time so poor Rudy just waits patiently in the back yard. He'd love to have a family with kids to play with.

CCLRR needs more Foster Homes ... can you help save a great dog?

SADIE #2 --


black female about 6 to 7 years old.  She is very sweet but a little shy at first.  Once she gets to know you, she will be your best friend.  She is good with dogs, kids, and cats.  We feel that Sadie would be best as an only dog or with a dog about her same age.   She was placed with a family who have a young Great Dane and he drove her crazy.  She deserves a good home and some one  who  can give her lots of attention pets and cuddles.

SAMMY --


5 year old black female. Sammy was adopted from us by a great guy two years ago....he gave her a wonderful home. We are sad to have to take her back as he has died and Sammy needs a new home. She is house broken, has great manners and loves to be with people. Sammy is great with other dogs and has lived for the past two years with her buddy Tucker but can be seperated and go to a home by herself.

SARA & SIERRA --

Sierra 7 year old chocolate female and her mom Sara 11 year old chocolate female. These girls have a story. We got a call from our friend Karen in Reno...seems some tenants were evicted from a foreclosure house and moved out...took the furniture but left Sierra and Sara behind. Neighbors called the Reno Shelter and we got the call.


It gets better...Sierra is blind. She gets around just fine...she follows Sara who watches out for her. Both girls are housebroken and Sierra found the door at her fosters house right away. Sierra is the one on the blanket & with her head cocked. She is simply a love...she plays, gets silly & gives you kisses. Sara is standing...she is also playful and so sweet and easy to have around. We are looking for a very special home for these two and do not want to seperate them.

SEBASTIAN --

Sebastian is a wonderful 4 1/2 year old AKC registered Chocolate male. He loves everybody and is desperate to please. He knows sit, shake, lie down, and is learning to army crawl! He is also a wonderful frisbee dog! Sebastian is good on the leash as long as the handler is firm with what they want. He is great with kids, but should be supervised with toddlers since he is so large. He is great with other dogs, he loves his foster sister who is only 25 pounds. Sebastian has wonderful house manners, he seems to know the rules and will stay in the house all day long while his foster mom and dad are at work. He knows how to use the doggy door and is fully housebroken. His ideal home would have a few kids to play with! Sebastian is wonderful, and full of love!

SHADOW --


5 year old black male. This boy is simply stunning, he is an AKC registered purebred and a love. Shadow is housebroken, wonderful with small children, knows sit, down, stay and walks on lead.. He will "shake" hands (paw) and if you say "BANG" he flops over & plays dead. Shadow is very much a house dog and if left alone in the yard wil jump a fence & go find someone to play with. He needs an at home person or someone who will take him to work with them. He is fine left alone in the house but not for long periods.

SHILOH --


11 - 12 month old black female. She is a wonderful, loving and very social puppy. She loves children and playing with other dogs. She also loves to retrieve anything you throw for her. Her new owner will be blessed with her resting at their feet each evening. Shiloh came from a wonderful breeder who actually checked up on the well being of the puppies that came from her dogs. After discovering that Shiloh's new owner felt that caring for a puppy only meant feeding her, then tying her to a tree and leaving her there day and night, she took her back from that rough start in life and gave her to our organization to find a warm and loving home. She doesn't know many of the basic commands and needs someone who can work with her to become an amazing dog. In the week that her foster home has had her, she has learned to sit, lay down, and to walk on a leash. She definitely has the ability to learn more of the basics, but just needs a great home and loving owners to devote some quality time with her. She stays outside with no problems, only to bark at some passers by. She is fully house trained and  not kennel trained. She is currently on antibiotics, but we expect her to  make a full recovery.

SOPHIA --

Loren and Sophia 6 month old black females.....these girls have a story. They came in as strays to the Garberville Shelter. Sophia has a very badly broken hind leg...a plea went out and our great volunteer Debbie went to work. She found transportation (with pillows and quilts for Sophia'scomfort) a great vet to do the surgery (a plate and screws) so now, Loren is ready for a new home and Sophia will be in recovery for a month or more. They are both so sweet, just grateful for every bit of attention you give them. They are obviously purebred and very well bred. We think with training they are going to be wonderful Lab girls

SPORT --

1 year old black male. This sweet boy is small....maybe 60 lbs and so sweet. He found his way to the Yuba County Shelter and no one came for him. So far we know he is good with other dogs, loves people and most of all loves belly rubs. Sport is on kennel cough quarantine and we'll know more in a week or so.

TEAL --

5 year old Black Lab, who is in desperate need of a weight watchers buddy, he is 133 lbs of pure love. He has had his thyroid checked and it is fine but he lives with his friend Bailey who is skinny so we know who eats the most. Teal loves to swim and play ball and just needs a yard to have fun and play and a strict weight watchers coach. Teal does need some obedience and refresher course in house manners.

UPDATE: Teal has lost so much weight and is simply goegeous .... she is waiting for her "forever home"

Thor --

Thor is an 8 year old chocolate male. This sweet boy came to us from the Fresno Shelter. He is just a love. Great with other dogs, good in the house, doesn't complain if you leave him outside. He is so grateful for the least attention you give him. He loves to fetch and always has a toy or ball in his mouth. He is really a mess....you can see all his ribs and his backbone...his coat is dry and sun bleached. With some good food, vitamins and a bath he'll be his handsome self again in no time. He is great in the car....gets right into his crate. He is perfectly happy to defer to his foster mom's 3 female Labs.....Thor is just the sweetest, easiest boy...we think he'll be great with children too.

Timmy --


Timmy is a one year old black male who is in need of a loving family.  The first part of his life must have been very lonely and quiet.  He is consequently a little intimidated, but very curious about the big wide world out there waiting for him to explore.  This is a very intelligent, gentle and loving dog who responds very well to affection and discipline.  He came with very little training but is picking it up very fast.  Though he can be easily overwhelmed by new places and people, within 5 minutes at his new foster's house, he was wagging his tail and acting like a comfortable happy boy.  He would do well in a home with other dogs to keep him company and teach him how to navigate the scary parts of life.  He would make a very good hiking companion because his fears are mostly limited to man made things (like bicycles, go figure!).  With a very little bit of patience, the family that gives Timmy a forever home will be rewarded with a wonderfully happy, loving, and loyal companion. 

 

TORI --









6 - 7 year old yellow female. This sweet girl found her way to the Modesto Shelter and no one came for her. She is so sweet and mellow...jumped right into the car.
Tori is now well after a really bad case of kennel cough that went into pneumonia. You'd never know she was so sick. Her coat is beautiful and she is such a happy girl. We don't know if it was the pneumonia or the stress or what but Tori has a scruffy scaley nose. The vet says it is her imune system and has her on medication for this and thinks it will heal completely. Tori is so good with children and adults, she is completely housebroken and will leave her foster's cats alone if told to. She is good with other dogs. Tori is just a wonderful sweet gently Lab.....she would be so grateful for a "forever" home.

 

TUCKER --


8 year old chocolate male. Tucker was adopted from us two years ago but sadly his owner has died so he is looking for a new home. He is housebroken, has great manners and loves everybody. Tucker has lived with his buddy Sammy for the past two years but can go to a home by himself.

Valentine -- Senior/Special Needs

VALENTINE - This happy, energic 2 year old Chocolate male loves people other dogs and swimming...unfortunately Valentine was born with bilateral Hip Dysplasia...presently he is doing very well and  will continue to do well in a home where he can swim at least once a day....Making sure Valentine is not allowed to become over weight and given Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM will be helpful in maintaining overall joint health...While this may seem heartbreaking, giving Valentine a warm loving home for as long as he has quality of life can be very rewarding, he has lots of love to give... 

XANDER & SEBASTIAN --

two AKC registered males  who are looking for new homes. Sebastian is 4 yrs, chocolate, and the father of Xander. Xander is black and 1 1/2 years old.  Their  owner is moving  and she can't take them with her. She would prefer they stay together but they can be seperated. They are housebroken. Xander is crate trained. They know sit and stay. They both are good with other dogs, not sure about cats. They love to retrieve and swim and are active. Sebastian's personality is more laid back and Xander is more energetic.

XANDER Adopted! Thank You! 8/13

LABS WITH INDEPENDENT RESCUERS OR WAITING FOR FOSTER SPACE WITH LAB RESCUE

We never have enough foster space for all the Labs waiting in Shelters and with owners who can no longer keep them. Please go adopt one or become a foster.

CCLRR allows Labs to be placed on our web page under the heading INDEPENDENT RESCUERS  that are with owners, independent rescuers and others. These Labs have not been seen by or evaluated by Lab Rescue and are not part of our program. You will be dealing directly with independent rescuers or owners and not with Lab Rescue volunteers. Since Lab Rescue has not evaluated these Labs, we have no knowledge of their temperment and assume no liability therein.

 

Cheeto  1.5 year old beautiful neutered lab/golden mix  83lbs.

The original owner of these gorgeous siblings dumped them and they were taken in by a caring person.  At that time she lived on a 200 acre ranch where busy highways weren’t an issue.  But, she lost her home and had to move to a smaller property.  Unfortunately, the property wasn’t fenced and was located near a busy highway.  Worried that something would happen to them, rescue stepped in.  These brothers need to stay together because Cheeto is blind, although he can see shadows.  



 Cheeto gets along very well with his “handicap” and his brother Charlie is his “seeing” eye dog.  These boys are quite bonded.  Both are very good with kids of all ages and are well socialized with dogs too – having been around very small to very large dogs.  They love to play with toys and tennis balls and love attention.  They are housebroken and crate trained.  They are even good about having their toe nails clipped.  These boys are current on their vaccinations.  If you are interested in adopting or fostering this special pair of brothers, please call Holly at (650) 322-9888.
UPDATE: Cheeto actually has the more outgoing personality and loves to investigate his surroundings. It is also not uncommon for Cheeto to come through the door or gate before Charlie when I open it. He also is often the one off by himself investigating in the yard.

I took Cheeto to the ophthalmologist in Stockton, and it was determined that there is no chance of correcting his blindness. He has bilateral cataracts as well as bilateral detached retinas. He really does just fine, though, even in new situations. Like at the vet, he was trying to wander around and investigate the whole place. At the vet, he weighed 75 lbs, so it looks like he lost 8 lbs, which is good.

Cheeto is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

He is fine with other dogs and with cats and with children.

Lucas and Lillith

Lucas and Lillith were found wandering in an upscale subdivision in rural Arkansas. We believe them to be approximately 7 weeks on 7/29. If they are adopted they can travel on August 16 to San Francisco. They of course will be altered, shots to date, health certificate required to fly and as healthy as a puppy can be before we let them go. Our tax deductible adoption fee is $200. Please email to carrelabs@yahoo.com to request an application. We fly at least one rescue mission per month to San Francisco but the puppies just keep coming and we are making two trips this month.

Rowdy

Rowdy and siblings were being given away along side the road in 100 degree heat near a flea market in Arkansas. Puppies are typically given away on Sunday's at this roadside nightmare. A volunteer saw the couple with the sign reading "Free to Good Home" and had the couple follow her home where she took the puppies into the shade, watered and fed them. They were covered in fleas and ticks as is the case when dogs are not taken care of. They are free of parasites now and growing fat and healthy. They are approximate 8 weeks on 7/29. They will travel to adoptive homes in CA on 8/16. All our puppies are spayed/neutered, shots to date, wormed and a health certificate issued as required by the USDA by the attending vet before flying out to CA. Your tax deductible donation of $200 is all it takes and an application.
Contact Margie carrelabs@yahoo.com for an adoption application and more information 

SOPHIE

SPIKE


Spike is a neutered black lab mix (possibly terrier) with strands of white fur on his chest.  He is about 9 to 10 months old.  He is still a puppy so he has lots of energy; he loves to play with his toys and ball.  He will take all his toys outside and put them in a pile.  He will let the other canine companions he lives with take a toy if they want one.  Right now Spike is staying in a sanctuary with all kinds of doggies and kitties (some young and some very old).  He gets along with everyone.  Spike would like a home of his own where he only has to share with a one or two doggies .   Spike needs a home where he can get plenty of  exercise  as  with all puppies  he can be destructive  if he is bored.       

please call his foster mom, Mitch, at 209-748-2797


My name is Buddy.

Let me tell you a little about me, I am a Black/Chocolate Lab. I just turned 3 years old in July. I love to play soccer and fetch. I really love playing with the water, especially the water from the hose. I love kids. I can even do a few tricks, like sit, lay, roll over and shake hands, especially for treats. I love attention, to be kissed, hugged and Did I mention that I love attention? I am a great watch dog, I do not let anyone get by me. I am 100% potty trained. I am very healthy, love to go for walks, and I really enjoy playing at the dog park. I love other dogs and I am even great with little ones too. I am crate trained, microchipped and have already been neutered. I do however have one downfall, I do not like those pesky cats (they drive me insane). Overall, I am really a great dog for the right family. I look forward to meeting my new family.

please email nikis873@comcast.net
Lilly 8 year old black female. This sweet old girl was abandoned by a canal in Los Banos. She was so scared and overwhelmed at the shelter that one of the volunteers there just had to take her home to foster. She is blind in one eye but doesn't seemed to be bothered by it. She's great with cats and
just likes to follow you around. She will also "shake", very cute. Lilly seems to be very well behaved and is so grateful to be given a nice, cozy,and caring place to stay while waiting for a new family to love her and appreciate the sweet, gentle, mature girl that she is.
