Gus is still searching for his furever home! This sweet boy has settled into a wonderful routine with his foster family and is ready to find the people he can call his own.

At six years old, Gus is the perfect combination of grown-up manners and playful fun. He’s a happy, well-behaved guy who loves spending time with his people, playing with his foster brother, going for walks, and of course he never says no to a good game of fetch! Gus still has plenty of silly, playful energy and genuinely loves enjoying life alongside his humans.

Gus already knows several basic commands, including sit, down, and drop it, and he is crate trained. These days, though, he doesn’t need to be crated when left home alone because he does wonderfully with his freedom and can be trusted to behave while his family is away.

Gus does have allergies that are well managed with a special diet and medication. He’ll need a family who is willing to continue his routine and give him the little bit of extra TLC that keeps him feeling his best.

This sweet, fun-loving boy has so much love and life to share. He’s ready for his next chapter and Gus is hoping that his next adventure leads him straight into the loving arms of his forever family.

If you’d like to be considered for Gus, please visit our website at www.labadoption.org to fill out an application!

Introducing Chico!

Hi there! I’ve been in my foster home for about five days now, and I’m settling in as if I’ve always belonged here. My foster mom says I’m a big cuddle bug, and I’d really love a forever home of my own.

Looking for a dog who’s happy to chill and hang out with you? That’s me!

Want a buddy to go for a nice stroll? That’s me!

Like a little s***k and silliness in small doses? Yep, that’s me too!

Need a budding soccer player? Well... apparently I have some skills! Video in comments.

I’m house-trained and walk wonderfully on a leash. I can even be trusted off leash. I’m also trustworthy in the house, for the most part. I have to admit, sometimes I just need to investigate what might be hiding on the counter. Nobody’s perfect!

When my humans leave, I’m perfectly content hanging out in my crate. And bath time? Foster mom says I’m the easiest dog she's ever bathed, and I get the feeling she's bathed A LOT of dogs!

I currently live with three foster dogs, and we all get along great. I enjoy having canine friends, but I’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. I’ve met kids of all ages and have done great with them, too.

Overall, I’m an easygoing, affectionate guy who’s eager to please. I can be your walking buddy, couch companion, soccer star, or professional snuggler.

If you’re looking for a dog who will quietly work his way into your heart and then make himself right at home, I'm your guy!

Sebastian here! I am adjusting nicely to my foster home. I sleep next to one of my foster brothers at night, we sleep really good! I have been to the vet and got a very good report. The vet did say that I was "chunky" and could lose a few pounds....UGH.

My foster mom works from home, I just lay down and take a good long nap while she is working. Sometimes I get bored, but I have a big bone to chew on to keep me occupied. Today we swimming! I love the water!! We also went to a dog park and we ran and played. I love car rides and just sit and look out the window at everything going by us.

My foster parents think that I would do best in a home with another dog to play with. I have very good manners and good recall according to my foster mom. I really don't care for their laminate floors but we are working through that. I know basic commands and like to stay close to my foster brothers. I am getting neutered on Wednesday. My foster mom said that after my surgery I will be ready to meet people to find my forever home!

Hi, everyone! My name is Sebastian, although my foster mom keeps calling me “Good Boy.”

I’m hanging out with a wonderful foster family in the country. I have two Labrador foster brothers and one feline foster brother, and we’re all getting along like best friends. There are even chickens here! I didn’t bother them at all, even when they were running around the yard.

I’m a happy, affectionate pup who loves giving kisses. My oldest foster brother seems to enjoy all my kisses, too! There is so much to explore and sniff here, and I’ve already gone on several walks. My foster mom says I need a little help learning not to pull on the leash, but we’re going to work on that. I’m eager to learn, especially when pets and treats are involved.

I also have an upcoming appointment for something called a “snip-snip” and some vaccinations. I’m not quite sure what that means, but if it involves a car ride, I’m ready. I love car rides!

My foster mom says I’m a handsome, blocky-headed Lab. She also says I’m a typical Labrador who doesn’t understand personal space or that I’m not actually a lap dog. What can I say? I love being close to my people and snuggling with them.

Cera(now Bailey) has gone to her forever home today. She will have 4 young kids to keep her entertained and run around with. They also bought her all her favorite stuffys and antlers she can hoard on her bed!

Bailey came in with her 11 siblings and she has come out of her shell so much since being in her foster home. This is the perfect start to her new story.
She will be so spoiled and so loved! The most amazing family we could ask for!

Dale Update!

How is this sweet, adorable boy still looking for his furever home?! Dale is one of the last of our Twelve Tails puppies still waiting for his family.

Dale is your typical fun-loving puppy. Playful, curious, and ready to learn! He’ll need the usual puppy training and guidance, but he has so much potential. He loves other dogs and does ok with cats, so a furry friend would be a welcome bonus!

In his foster home, Dale can take a little time to warm up to people, but once he does, his sweet personality shines through. When he’s out and about, he’s interested in meeting new people, although he may greet them with a few puppy barks first.

Dale is sweet, adorable, and just waiting for someone to give him the chance to become their very best boy. Could that be you?
