LABRADOR RETRIEVER RESCUE

Available Labs

Monterey Bay Labrador Retriever Rescue welcomes you to view our LABS AVAILABLE for adoption. We take in labs ranging in age from puppies to seniors (though most of our dogs are in the 1-5 age range) and try to provide you with as much information as we can about each dog. Each has been carefully evaluated and most all have spent time in loving foster homes before being offered for adoption. We typically bring in new dogs every week, so it’s important to check the website frequently if you’re looking to adopt. An explanation of our adoption procedure is located on the How To Adopt section. And we invite you to check out our Success Stories for wonderful notes and photos from our happy adopters.

Bailey

8 mo old white female lab, 46 lbs

Bailey is a sweet, lovable, playful pup with delightful energy.  She’s AKC registered.  She was surrendered because her person, who loved her very much, was dealing with unforeseen health issues and couldn’t care for her any more. Bailey is a really pretty girl with her lovely white coat and big brown eyes that seem to say, “Let’s play.”  Bailey is house trained and crate trained and sleeps in a crate at night.  She sleeps through the night.  Bailey knows how to use a doggie door.  She comes when called, knows “wait” and “load up,” but doesn’t see the point of “sit.”  She’s still very much a puppy and very smart.  She’ll learn other commands quickly.  Bailey loves to retrieve and loves to swim.  She is very good with other dogs and loves running and playing with the foster’s labs.  She thinks cats are fun to play with, but cats might not agree, so a cat free home is probably best.  Bailey is pretty good on a leash.  She’s playful and gentle with kids and would be fine with kids age 5 or older, tho she may jump up when excited.   She rides well in the car.  Bailey doesn’t have separation issues but, as always, we want her to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  She’d love a dog buddy in her family. She’d love to be part of an active family who would involve her in everything they do.  She’s affectionate and sweet and loves to be close to her people, touching them if possible.

Bailey is going to her new home on Sunday.  We so appreciate all the wonderful people who called on her.

Marley

4 year old neutered yellow male, 80 lbs

Marley is a sweet, playful, happy boy who’s a real snuggle bug.  He was surrendered because his family had such a busy schedule and felt they couldn’t give him what he needed.  He’s a very handsome boy with huge brown eyes and a short coat that will dry quickly after the swimming that he loves to do.  Marley is completely house trained and sleeps through the night on his dog bed (that goes with him).  He has excellent house manners.  He knows all the basic commands.  He adores his walks, tho he does pul hard on a leash.  He responds well to correction.  If you say “jump,” he’ll jump straight up in the air, but not on you.  Pretty cute.  Marley has lots of energy and needs an active family.  He adores retrieving and swimming, as we mentioned.  He is good around any age kids and lived with a 1 year old and a 6 year old.  He greets people happily and in a friendly way.  Marley is good with other dogs and seems eager to meet them.  He does well with the foster’s female lab.   He travels very well in the car and loves to put his head out the window.  Marley adores attention and is so happy when you’re giving him love….a world class snuggler.  As always, we want Marley to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  Oh, and he lived with a cat and loved her.  He’s also been around horses and was fine with them.  He just needs an active family that will take him everywhere.

If you’re interested in adopting Marley, please text or call Judy @ (831)261-3409.  Marley is located in Monterey.

Buster and Posey

8 year old yellow neutered males - Buster 76 lbs, Posey 70 lbs

Buster (black collar) and Posey (orange collar) are brothers and have never been apart.  They are super sweet, calm, happy boys who are loving and kind.  We want them to go together to a new home.  Their first owner left them with her mother 2 years ago when she had to move away, and the mother now needs to downsize and can’t take the boys with her.  They’re good looking boys and their big brown eyes melt your heart.  Posey has elbow dysplasia on one of his front legs, but other than causing him to limp a bit, he’s fine.  Not bothered at all by it.  The boys are completely house trained and have impeccable manners….no counter surfing, begging, chewing or jumping up. They are not barkers.  They wait patiently at doors until invited to go out and sleep soundly on dog beds, side by side if they’re not sharing the same bed.  They’re not big on toys  and have no interest in retrieving.  Their focus is people and they adore everyone they meet.  They love their walks and stroll side by side.  They are completely neutral when meeting other dogs, polite and unbothered.  With people stopping to pet them, they’re affectionate and friendly, happy to soak up the attention.  They will sit when asked but their preference is either lying down or standing tall.  They’re very good in the car and ride quietly, settling down for the ride.  They like to swim.  They’ve never been around cats.  Buster is the lover of the two.  He is a little nervous about slick floors….area rugs are his friend.  Posey is pure joy…a happy easy going pup who just wants to be with his people.  They’re so cute together and completely devoted to each other.  They’re good with kids and have been around all age kids.  As always, we want them to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  They are fine left alone for short periods as they always have each other.  These boys ask for very little and give so much.  They’re full of love and just the best boys!

If you’re interested in giving Buster and Posey a home together, please text or call Judy @ (831)261-3409.
