MONTEREY BAY

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.

Ellie

9 week old black female puppy, 11 lbs

Ellie and her sister Grace are two peas in a pod…..they are the sweetest little girls.  Their mom was a black lab and their dad was a chocolate lab.  They are typically puppies…healthy, happy and playful.  They have beautiful coats and dark brown eyes. They’re going to be very pretty girls when they grow up.   They are working on their housebreaking skills, but still need to be taken out during the night to go potty.   They are good in the crate as long as it’s right next to the bed, so they can hear their people.  They are gentle little girls and love to be held.  Super snuggly.  They are total people dogs and want to be with their people all the time.  They will follow you around and stay right with you.  They are good with other dogs and not intimidated, even tho they’re really tiny.  They travel well in the car in a crate, settling down for the ride (tho Ellie is a bit more vocal than Grace).  They like toys and like to eat.  Typical lab puppies.  They are not very bitey, at least not right now, so we would be comfortable placing them in a home with kids ages 4 and up.  As always, we insist that someone be home most of the time.  It would be great if there was another dog in the family, but if not, they will need frequent playdates with dog buddies.  These girls are very affectionate and are going to be fabulous dogs.

If you’re interested in one of the girls, please text or call Judy@ (831)261-3409.  The puppies are located in Carmel Valley.

Ollie

5 year old neutered black male, 110 lbs

Ollie is a super sweet, gentle giant of a lab.  He was surrendered because his family was moving and the new rental doesn’t allow dogs.  Ollie is a gorgeous big guy.  He has a great coat and a gorgeous blocky head. He’s a bit overweight, but he’s doing well on his diet and exercise program and he’s lost 7 pounds since we got him. He should be 95-100 lbs.  Ollie was an outside dog before he came to us, but he’s now house trained and loves being in the house.  He has good house manners, tho he’s tall and close to counter height, so you need to watch that he doesn’t counter surf if you have something tasty within reach.  He has a gentle mouth and takes treats gently.  Ollie sleeps on a dog bed and sleeps through the night.  If invited on his person’s bed, he slowly and carefully crawls up so his head is next to yours.  His foster lets him do that in the morning and he loves it.  Ollie is a total love bug.  He thinks he’s chihuahua size and would be a lap dog if there was a big enough lap. He adores being hugged and having people love on him.  Ollie is good with other dogs and does great with the foster’s female lab.  He loves to snuggle up close to her and enjoys going on walks with her.  He pulls on a leash (was never really walked before), so needs leash work, but if you keep him on a short leash with a martingale collar and give him corrections, he does well.  Currently he’s doing about 5 miles of walks total during the day.  He has learned sit.  Ollie loves riding in the car.  He was never allowed in a car before and rode in the open back of a pick up truck.  That will never happen again.  Now he gets right in and settles down on the back seat, lying quietly for the ride.  Ollie loves toys and tosses them around like a puppy.  He likes to retrieve. He’s learned to do stairs.  When Ollie doesn’t get enough attention, he’ll come and whimper a bit to get you to pet him and will occasionally bark if you’re not hearing him, but this insecurity will go away quickly as he learns that there is a steady stream of attention coming his way. As always, we want Ollie to go to a home where someone is around most of the time.  He can be left alone in the house for an hour or so and nothing is amiss when you return.  Ollie is good with kids and we would feel comfortable adopting him to a family with kids age 7 or older. He’s a wonderful happy boy….calm, loving and gentle…and will make a great addition to his new family.

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

Scout

1 yr old neutered yellow male, 56 lbs

Scout is a handsome youngster who is playful, sweet and energetic.  He was picked up as a stray in Oroville and the shelter called MLBRR, hoping we would take him.  They are horribly overcrowded and were desperately trying to find rescues to take some of their dogs.  We were happy to help.  Scout is a slim, athletic boy with a gorgeous head and huge brown eyes. He’s quite underweight but will gain weight easily since he inhales his food.  He’s currently using a puzzle bowl to try to slow down his eating time.  He’s still very puppy like and loves to play and run.  He’s completely fabulous with other dogs and is a great playmate for the foster’s yellow male lab.  He greets dogs nicely and makes friends with all of them.  Scout is a great retriever and brings the ball back every time, dropping it at your feet.  He’s now house trained, tho because he’s always hungry, he might counter surf.  He has good house manners and doesn’t damage anything, tho he might want to be on the bed or couch if you allow it.  Currently he’s sleeping in a crate at night and sleeps through the night.  He is also crated if they have to leave him alone for an hour or two. Scout knows sit and comes when called.  He walks beautifully on a leash with an Easy Walk Harness.  Scout is a very happy boy and loves his toys.  We think he’d love kids but because he could unintentionally knock young children over, we’d like kids to be 5 or older (and sturdy). Scout is good in the car and excited to go places.  He needs to be tethered in the car, tho, because otherwise he’ll be in your lap in the front seat. As always, we want Scout to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s a gentle, loving boy who loves to be petted and loved.  He’d be fine with another playful dog or as an only dog.  He even likes the Roomba.  He’ll enjoy being part of an active family and getting to be part of all they do.  His fosters adore him!

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

 

Buster

10 month old neutered yellow male, 85 lbs

Buster is fabulous dog.  He’s a friendly, playful boy who loves kids.  Buster was surrendered to MBLRR because his family could no longer give him the time he deserved. Buster is a handsome boy with a great coat and deep brown eyes.  He is completely house trained and also crate trained.  He sleeps in a crate at night and sleeps through the night.  He can also be left in the crate for a couple of hours if you have to leave him alone.  Buster knows sit, comes when called, and completely understands “no.”  He wants to please.  He pulls on a leash but does very well with a harness.  He loves his walks and will be a great walking buddy.  He’s very good with other dogs.  If he sees a dog on his walk that barks at him, he doesn’t bark back….just keeps going.  He’d be great with another dog in his family or as an only dog. Buster loves his toys and loves to run around the house and yard with them.  He likes to retrieve. He loves the water and loves to swim.  Buster is good in the car and rides well.  He can also be left in the car without any problems if you have to run in to do a quick errand.  Buster does like to steal shoes and will chew kids toys….but that’s pretty typical of a young dog. He adores his toys and is so fun to watch tossing them around.   He has a soft mouth and takes treats gently.  He’s lived with young kids and is very good with them.  He really loves them.  He will jump on adults in excitement, but not on kids.  Buster would be good with any age kids. He is unknown with cats.  We think a cat free home would be best for him.  As always we want Buster to go to a home where someone is around most of the day.  We would love him to go to an active family.  He loves attention and affection and will be a great addition to his new family. We’re surprised he hasn’t been snapped up.  He’s really a terrific dog.

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