Bella
7 year old spayed black female, 60 lbs
Bella is a beautiful girl, who is confident, sweet and loving. She ended up at the Hollister shelter because her owner was no longer able to care for her. We were happy to take her. Bella is very pretty and is more English than American. She’s on the small side for a female lab and has a gorgeous shiny coat and deep brown eyes. Her smile lights up the room. Bella is completely house trained and has excellent house manners. She might counter surf if given the opportunity, because food is a main focus for her (as with most labs). Bella knows sit and walks reasonably well on a leash using a martingale collar or a harness. She likes her walks. She can be a bit reactive to other dogs but listens immediately if directed to “leave it.” She actually likes other dogs and is good with them. She lived with another lab in her previous home and does well with the foster’s senior lab. Bella wants to be top dog and would be fine in a home with an easy going dog that doesn’t care who’s in charge. There are no conflicts in her foster home because the foster’s female lab is so easy going. The girls really like each other. Bella would also be fine as an only dog and would love all the attention for herself. She is also OK with cats. Bella LOVES to eat and inhales her food. She is highly treat motivated. Bella s crate trained and currently sleeps in a crate at night, tho she might be fine on a dog bed. She travels very well in the car, settling right down for the ride and riding quietly. She loves to retrieve and we’re told she also likes the beach, tho we haven’t had the opportunity to take her there. Apparently she doesn’t really like going in the water, but loves playing on the sand. Bella is good with children and would be fine with kids ages 5 or older. She’s a super sweet girl and loves attention. She’s a leaner and soaks up the love. As always, we want Bella to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. She’s a wonderful girl and can’t wait to find her new forever family.

Max
8 year old neutered yellow male, 115 lbs
Max is still very much available, which is a mystery to us because he’s such a great dog. He’s a big boy who is extremely gentle, kind and affectionate. He was surrendered to MBLRR because his family was moving overseas and couldn’t take him. Max is very sweet and is very good looking, with his big blocky head and nice coat. His soft brown eyes are positively soulful. He’s overweight currently and would look great at 95-100 lbs. Max is completely house trained and has excellent house manners. He sleeps on a dog bed in the foster’s room and sleeps through the night. Max knows sit and comes when called. He is quite good on the leash with the proper collar. He enjoys his walks but doesn’t require that they be long. He’s very laid back and easy. Max is friendly and calm with other dogs and does well with the foster’s two labs (one male and one female). He is also friendly with cats. He is fine with kids too, but we think kids age 10 and older would be best for him. Max rides well in the car, settling in for the ride, but he does need to be boosted. It would be great to teach him how to use a ramp. Max is not a digger, a chewer or a barker. He really has no bad habits at all. He likes the ball but hasn’t yet played with toys. He loves to find big “sticks” (branches actually) and thinks it’s great to carry them around. Max is a cuddler and loves attention. He often “talks” quietly to you when you pet him. He likes to sit right by your side. He also likes the beach, tho he hasn’t been to the beach in a few years. Max would be an easy dog to take to the office or just to have as a fabulous companion at home. As always, we want someone to be home most of the day with him. He’s a very loyal boy…..totally devoted to his people. And we think he’s pretty adorable!
