Meet Smudge 🖤

A gentle, soft-hearted boy who takes a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’s a loyal shadow and champion cuddler. Equal parts oversized baby deer and weighted blanket, Smudge loves lounging near his people, resting his giant head on anyone willing to give pets, and soaking up affection.

He’s house-trained, crate-trained, great with dogs and cats, and looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom.

Interested in meeting Smudge and making him a part of your forever home? Apply to adopt him by visiting cincinnatilabrescue.org 🐾🌟

Meet Snow 🤍❄️

Snow just joined the CLR pack after being found on the streets. She’s a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she is pure love. Everyone says the same thing… she’s the sweetest girl.

Her first few months were spent just trying to survive. Now she’s safe, and we want the rest of her story to be different.

She deserves a home, a family, and a life filled with love.

Help us find Snow her forever, apply today!

Want to help Snow but not ready to adopt? She’s just one of many pups in our rescue who need a safe, cozy foster home to land in.

Adopted!

Meet Parker & Bubba! 🧡💙

These sweet brothers were rescued off the streets and are believed to be around 6 month old littermates.

Not long ago, they were just two puppies trying to survive on their own. Now they’re safe in foster care, learning what it means to be loved and cared for. They spend their days playing together, exploring the yard, and soaking up every bit of attention they can get.

Both boys are incredibly goofy, dog friendly, full of love, and ready for their forever families.

Think one (or both😄) of these handsome boys could be your perfect match? Apply to meet them today by visiting cincinnatilabrescue.org

Before → After: the power of fostering ✨

Fosters are the reason we can keep saying yes 💛

Every dog you see at our rescue is safe because someone opened their home. Just look at Banjo, once waiting, now thriving in foster care getting to enjoy walks, toys and his first pup cup with his foster brother.

So many more are still waiting… and you could be their chance.

UPDATE: ADOPTED! 💘

Meet Mila & Micah — 3-year-old, 60lb black Lab sisters who are the ultimate dynamic duo. These bonded girls are looking for a forever home together after being surrendered when their owner could no longer care for them.

Why you’ll love them:
• Raised with kids — total family pros
• Friendly, easygoing, and love everyone they meet
• Great with other dogs and always up for playtime

Their personalities:
• Mila is your personal cuddle bug who loves affection and being close to her people
• Micah is the playful one and a true fetch queen who will happily chase a ball all day

The basics:
• House-trained and crate-trained
• Know basic commands (and super smart!)
• Just need a little polish on leash manners

A quick note on Mila:
She recently had ACL surgery and is doing great. She’s already walking well and getting stronger every day.

These sweet sisters have spent their whole lives side by side and are happiest together. If you’re looking for a built-in best friend duo to fill your home with love, laughs, and tail wags, Mila & Micah are your girls.

Hi, I’m Ember! 🐾

I’m 2 years old and still waiting to meet my forever family… I really hope they find me soon ❤️

I love everyone I meet, live for belly rubs, and just want to be wherever my people are. I’m super treat motivated, already know sit and paw, and I’m always up for an adventure!

This past weekend was the best… I got a long walk, all the toys, and a bath I didn’t mind one bit. I loved playing in the hose!

I’m still waiting for a home where I can feel this happy every day.

Do you think I might be your perfect fit? Learn more by visiting https://cincinnatilabrescue.org/portfolio/ember-2/ 🖤
