Soooo handsome!
Wow! In a word - Stunning. Hard to believe this gorgeous purebred
yellow lab is an owner surrendered, 80 lb. neutered male who
knows sit, stay commands and walks well on a leash!
Ordinarily, we would try to snap new photos, but these speak
for themselves -- highlight his classic lab markings, emphasize
the beautiful angel wings (white shading) gracing his
shoulders and serve as a testament to his pure beauty. He's
also vetted and completely healthy! Are we missing something
here? He is - a loving family... but not for long. Contact us
about bringing this boy into the fold. |

Oh Demi, how we labradore
you.... let us count the ways!
DEMI is a classic purebred yellow lab, approximately 2 years
old - and from a looks perspective she is flawless, her appeal
universal.
She shares her face time admirably, not a lick of her looks
has gone to her head, her focus is wrapped up in her family
~ earning, giving and receiving attention her objectives.
She's had her heart set on becoming a lappy labby, preferring
to be as close to her people as possible, the difficulty lies
in her size. Demi is just shy of 80 lbs (her ideal weight) but
figures herself for less. As determined as she is, we've had
to let on that all the exercise in the world will not achieve
her purpose, she is not now, nor will she ever be dainty, delicate
Demi. Instead, she is a big, beautiful, vibrant lab - turning
heads wherever she goes, leaving a wave of onlookers in her
path and a wag in her wake. So while she may never land the
lap, she's become the consummate snuggler and has settled for
right alongside, rather than right on top. So far, its working
out well! Seems her foster family thinks so too - with an unwavering
love and loyalty for them and a special affection for their
son, Demi has won them over. She's easily knit herself into
this home and their hearts and hope renews for a girl once left
behind. |

Ahoy! - They call me
Adams and the word around the water cooler (bowl) is I look
plucked straight out of an ad campaign for the Salty Dog Cafe
TM .
I am a survivor, and have used my wits, guile and intelligence
to both endure a harrowing shelter experience and ensure my
own rescue. I rolled into my foster home, settled down nicely
into a 6 pack of dogs, awaited instructions. Training began
day 1 and continues to this day. I am an avid student and pick
up tricks and commands with ease - corrections too! I need to
be told ONCE, reminded twice (and maybe again if curiosity gets
the best of me). Certain allowances have been made for my 'showboating'.
I have been known to showcase my many talents... drumroll please

When you first meet Smitty,
he looks so serious, but his wagging tail quickly gives him
away. He's an easygoing, happy dog that seems to love children.
Children love him, too, probably because of his size and because
he doesn't try to jump on them. He does so well on a leash that
a kid could easily take him for a walk. He's also a real-life
stuffed animal at bedtime. |

Flurry takes life in
s t r i d e. He has a jubilant joie de vivre ~ an exuberance
that warms your soul. He is fun loving and the time is always
right. He adores people. |

Connor is such a great,
fun dog!
Matt took him to the dog park over the weekend and said it was
hilarious. Connor would just run around in huge circles and
knock down the other puppies and then run off. And then, of
course, he was dead tired last night. |

BLACK_JACK is incredibly
sweet and loves to give kisses. He has learnt his name well
(Jackson or the shortened version Jack) and comes to me when
called.
He is house trained and will sit and lie down when asked. Jackson
is incredibly intelligent - I really mean it. This afternoon
after I took him out to go potty with his leash on, I asked
him to take the leash and go inside. He put the end of the leash
in his mouth and ran into the house :)
Jackson tends to be more of an alpha male - just like my Georgio!!
It was very interesting to begin with, but Jackson quickly came
to understand that Georgi is the leader of the pack in our house.
They get on extremely well now and if Jackson gets a little
too rambunctious then Georgi just smacks him with his paw and
everything is fine again. Kind of like my two kids when they
are together!
Jackson is not altogether fond of the crate, but I am working
on that. Also, if he is able to get hold of a cuddly toy, he
will try and pull it apart if not watched.
Jackson will fit into most families perfectly - he absolutely
loves my two children and enjoys the attention from them. Jack,
just like my Georgi at this age, would be best suited to a family
similar to mine. By that, I mean either as a first dog for a
family or a family that have a rather submissive dog already.
I take Jackson out to go potty on a leash every time, even if
it has been at 4.00am and I run with him a lot. If there are
no runners in the family, then he would likely benefit by being
in a house with a built-in fence. He's an active boy!
Jackson has gotten used to his lunch and dessert after dinner!!!
By that I mean, lunch time is apple and banana and dessert is
lettuce and carrots. I expose him to everything that Georgi
is exposed to and treat him in the same way.
Lastly, Jackson has improved immensely with regards to walking
on a leash. I walk him every day on his own - I generally take
Georgi first. He has learnt to be on the left side of me and
is doing extremely well.
That's about it for now. As promised, I will get those photos
of Jackson to you asap. BTW, the boy constantly smiles, even
when he is sleeping. He is simply adorable. I am sure he will
be adopted by a very good family, although I will miss him.
If for whatever reason it does not work out for a family that
takes him, I would definitely like to take him back as his foster
:)
Will send the photos real soon.
Thanks so much.
Black Jack is a lovely dog... |

Sweet and Calm, Mimi is
a very loving girl that follows her foster mom around the house.
Mimi is a four year old 60 pound spayed female that was turned
in by her owner to a rural animal control. She enjoys playing
with toys, going on walks (proudly leash trained!), getting
a lot of attention and chasing squirrels. Mimi is also crate
trained and doing well with her house training. |

What a sweet girl! She
is housebroken, smart and loves to run. She gets along with
other dogs and kids and really enjoyed our outing at the dog
park on Sunday afternoon.
She kept a close eye on my Lab and put herself in between him
and the other dog when a dog charged Sam. Sam is 2xs her size
but I guess felt the loyalty to him to protect him.
She has learned to sit on command and back up. |

Christmas Holly is an
incredibly sweet, and gentle girl.
Great with kids, other dogs and LOVES to swim! She is very laid
back most of the time ( other than play time :) and then she
can out run and jump most other dogs we know!
Here are some recent pics of her. Had to add one of her laying
down- her absolute favorite thing is a belly rub! She is such
a pleasant, sweet natured labby. It is breaking our heart to
realize that we will not be able to care for her any more. I
know you will find a loving home for her. She's a wonderful
dog! |

Miss Wags A lot...
Oh if you could meet this wiggle worm, you would never look
back! She is making every effort to contain herself, but her
love of life and enthusiasm has gotten the best of her. |
