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.

Todd

7 month old yellow male puppy, 79 lbs

Todd is a big, super sweet lab/Great Dane mix who is gentle and affectionate.  He was surrendered to MBLRR because his family could no longer adequately care for him.  He’s still a youngster and will be a large boy when he’s full grown.  He’s slender, tall, and a bit lanky now, but will fill out beautifully and be a striking dog,  His eyes are so expressive.  Todd is house trained and has pretty good house manners, tho you need to keep shoes and remotes out of reach.  He listens very well and if you tell him “no,” he complies right away.  He sleeps in a large crate at night and goes right in it without issue.  Todd loves toys and loves raiding the foster’s toy box.  He’s very much a puppy still.  He’s all lab when it comes to food and enjoys his meals.  He needs some confidence building on walks, as he never left the property he was on before coming to us.  He’s a bit shy and unsure about all the new things in his walking environment, but once he knows it’s ok, he walks really well.  He doesn’t jump up and rarely barks. Todd rides well in the car, but has not been in a car much at all, so needs some help getting in and getting out.  That will be remedied quickly.  His fosters are working on sit.  He wants so much to please and will be easy to train.  Todd is good with other dogs…on the submissive side meeting new dogs, but gently playful once he knows they like him.  He is very respectful of the foster’s very senior lab and just leaves her alone.  And he’s good with cats. He may try to play with them, but lived with a cat and knows not to harm them.  Todd would be fine with kids, but we think they should be age 7 or older as he occasionally is gently mouthy to get attention.  As always, we want him to go to a home where someone is around most of the day.  Todd loves attention and loves being with his people.  He also likes to give kisses…lots of them.  He’s an easy boy to have around and a really good boy too!

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

Cooper

5 mo old yellow English lab, 48 lbs

Cooper is a super cute little boy who’s happy, sweet and easy going.  Cooper was the last of his litter, born to a yellow English lab mom and a black English lab dad.  He’s chunky and  has a gorgeous lush coat with some waves on his otter tail.  He was injured, playing with a larger dog, before we got him and the fur around his eye is missing.  It will grow back.  The eye is fine.  Cooper is house trained and has good house manners, tho he has a thing for shoes.  He doesn’t destroy them at all but loves to carry them around.  He sleeps on his foster’s bed at night and sleeps through the night.  He isn’t a fan of the crate.  Cooper is great with other dogs….submissive and gently playful.  He loves to run around but, being an English lab, he runs out of steam reasonably quickly.  He likes to retrieve, tho isn’t avid about it.  Cooper walks fine on a leash, tho he does weave a bit.  He’s learning sit.  Cooper has a great appetite and is definitely treat motivated.  He loves people and follows his foster mom around.  He’s been to several dining establishments in Carmel and greets people nicely.  He’s been really good with the dogs he’s met too….likes them all.  We think he’d be great with kids but they should be 7 or older, as he can be gently mouthy on occasion (just to get attention).  He travels very well in the car and settles in for the ride.  We think he’ll love the water too.  He certainly likes to play in his water bowl…such a  puppy thing to do.  As always, we want Cooper to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  He’s a special little boy and we’re looking for just the right family for him.  He’d love a dog buddy, but that’s not an absolute requirement.

Cooper is going to his new home on Saturday. Many thanks to all who called on him!

Jessie

12 week old black female lab puppy, 19 lbs

Jessie is a super smart, active little girl who is really sweet.  She was the last in her litter and we were happy to take her.  Her mom was a yellow lab and her dad was a chocolate lab (really nice dogs).  Jessie has gorgeous eyes and a nice coat.  She loves to be held and loves her people.  She’s confident and happy.  Jessie is working on her housebreaking skills.  She sleeps in a crate at night and still needs to get up once or twice each night to pee, but because she’s the age she is, she’ll be sleeping through the night very soon.  She adores her toys and loves to race around the back yard with a toy in her mouth.  She’s already retrieving.  Jessie follows her foster mom everywhere and wants to be part of the action.  She barks initially when put in the crate and she has a loud bark, but she’s just sad that she can’t be snuggled up with her person.  She’s good with other dogs and would love to have a fun dog buddy in her new family, tho that’s not a requirement, as long as there are dog buddies in the neighborhood for her to play with.  She’s not bitey so will be good with kids, tho she does jump up for attention, so kids age 5 or older would be best.  Jessie is going to be an athletic girl and she’ll thrive with lots of exercise.  As we said, she’s really smart and will be easy to train.  She makes great eye contact.  As always, we want Jessie to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  This darling little girl will be a great addition to an active family.

Jessie is going to her new home on Saturday.  Thanks to all who called on her!
