Luke
5 year old neutered yellow male, 106 lbs
Luke is an adorable big sweet guy. Luke’s elderly owner passed away and MBLRR was happy to help find Luke a new home. Luke is a big boy and he sheds a lot, but they don’t come any cuter. He has a fabulous coat and soft brown eyes. He’s 10-15 lbs overweight and out of shape right now since his previous owner couldn’t exercise him. But he’s already on a diet and exercise program and he’s loving the exercise part. There’s a lot of play in this boy once he builds up some stamina. He loves to play fetch and he’s great with other dogs. He does really well with the fosters two labs and is good with small dogs too. He is happy to play but is good at reading other dogs’ energy and responding accordingly. Luke is pretty good on a leash and knows sit. He’s house trained and has good house manners. He sleeps on a dog bed next to the foster’s bed at night and sleeps through the night. Luke likes the couch and we’d like him to be welcome on a couch in his new home. He hates crates, but that doesn’t matter because he doesn’t need them for anything. He rides well in the car, tho he needs to be boosted. His foster tried a ramp today and he picked it up immediately…smart boy. He’s not a barker and loves attention. Belly rubs are a favorite of his. And he’s an excellent fly catcher. Luke will tear up and even eat soft toys, so they need to be restricted. But he loves toys. As most labs are, he’s a good eater and isn’t picky. He’s unknown with cats so a cat free home would be best. We’re sure he’ll be fine with kids….will test that out soon…..but are confident that kids age 7 or older would be fine. As always, we want Luke to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s a wonderful, loving boy with lots of personality and will do well in a family that can involve him in everything they do.

Alex
1 year old neutered male lab mix, 60 lbs
Alex is a shy, sweet boy who loves to run and play. He’s extremely smart and very curious and is a total love bug. The Sacramento shelter called us about Alex. He and his brother were turned in by the backyard breeder, who had had him since he was born, because they couldn’t find them homes. Alex was an outside dog, sleeping in a garage at night. His brother was adopted quickly, but Alex was shy and petrified in the shelter and no one would take him. He was facing euthanasia and we quickly agreed to bring him into our program. Alex is a slender, athletic youngster with a gorgeous coat and stunning hazel eyes. We suspect he’s got either border collie or Australian shepherd in him, as well as lab. Alex is now house trained and has good manners. He is currently sleeping in a crate at night next to the foster’s bed, but doesn’t necessarily need the crate. He is learning how to play with toys and will carry one around with him. So far, he hasn’t shown any inclination to retrieve, but we think there’s good potential there. Alex loves to chase squirrels and we suspect he’d also chase cats, so a cat free home would be best for him. Alex adores other dogs and is playful and sweet with them. He loves big dogs and little dogs and is fantastic with all of them.Dogs are his happy place. He’s very shy with people, tho he is a total love bug with his foster mom and adores snuggle time. It only took a few hours for him to love his foster mom. He prefers women to men but spent some time with one of his foster’s male friends and you could see the trust starting. He was treated unkindly by a man, but he is so loving and really WANTS to trust. It will just take a little time. There isn’t an ounce aggression in him. When he is scared he just hunkers down or goes off by himself. He’s an amazing athlete…would be fabulous at agility. He runs effortlessly and it’s amazing to watch him. We ideally are looking for a home with another dog who can be a doggie mentor for Alex. He and the foster’s lab bonded immediately and he likes giving her soft kisses. If there are children in the home, they should be age 10 or older. He needs people around him who are calm and loving. Alex knows sit and understands off and no. He’s not a chewer or a barker. He walks well on the leash. And he travels fine in the car…just hunkers down and rides quietly. He’s fascinated by the TV and loves to look at himself in the mirror. He’s a very cute boy! As always, we want Alex to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s going to be a very devoted and loyal dog and we know watching him blossom will be so rewarding for his new family.
