Thor
6 year old neutered black male, 60 lbs
Thor is a loving, sweet boy who LOVES to retrieve. He is Buck’s brother (also posted) and was given up by his family because they were working all day and didn’t have time for him. Thor was an outside dog before coming to us, but is now loving being in the house but still doesn’t feel comfortable on a dog bed (might never have had one). He’s a cute boy with a lovely coat and big brown eyes. He’s underweight because apparently Buck ate more than his fair share of the joint food bowl in their previous home. But his appetite is stellar and he’s already gained weight. He should be about 70 lbs. This is now house trained and is also crate trained. He sleeps in a crate at night and sleeps soundly through the night. He was very anxious after losing his people but is settling in nicely in his foster home….more settled every day. He loves his crate and finds it his safe place when he feels stress. He’s a gentle boy, curious and sweet with other dogs and good with children. Though we think kids should be age 7 or older. He loves to swim, rides well in the car, and he doesn’t jump up. He’s good on the leash and loves thickets, bushes and puddles. We think he’d love off leash runs. He greets new dogs and people perfectly. Thor is not bothered by machinery, trucks or golf carts…..just goes with the flow. He likes toast. He’s affectionate and loves belly rubs and enjoys being brushed. He sticks very close to his foster mom. As always we want Thor to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He will retrieve all day long if your arm holds out and it’s a great way to exercise him. Thor would be fine as an only dog but we think he’d love having a dog buddy.

Buck
6 year old neutered fox red male, 69 lbs
Buck is a super sweet, calm boy who loves belly rubs. Buck was surrendered because his owners were working long hours and they weren’t able to give him much attention. He’s a good looking boy with a sweet face and soft coat. He was an outside dog before coming to us, but was house trained very quickly. He LOVES dog beds (probably never having had one before). He’s crate trained but doesn’t need a crate at all. He has good house manners. Buck is extremely affectionate and is a “leaner.” He follows his fosters everywhere and gives gentle kisses. He has a soft mouth and takes treats gently. Buck hasn’t shown much interest in toys yet (probably never had any of those either), but he’ll learn. He’s very interested in the ball and retrieving, but has a cut on his foot right now so can’t do a lot of retrieving until it heals. He adores his food and treats…..a typical lab in every way. He travels well in the car, tho he needed a boost to get in. He rides quietly. Buck pulls on a leash. He knows sit and down and will come when called. Buck likes to swim and is not a barker. He’s very good with other dogs, curious and playful but gentle. He’s also very good with kids and we think he’d do fine with kids age 5 and older. As always, we want Buck to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s a sweetheart and will be very devoted to his new family.
If you’re interested in adopting Buck, please text Judy @ (831)261-3409. Tell us about you and your family, your lab history, and where you’re located. Buck is located in Monterey.
Rex
7 mo old yellow male, 53 lbs
Rex is a sweet, loving boy who is happy all the time. He was surrendered by his family because they are working full time and don’t have time for him. Rex has a gorgeous soft coat and huge brown eyes. He was an outside dog until coming to us, but has picked up the housebreaking thing really well. He has good house manners and has learned to do stairs. He’s also discovered the joy of soft dog beds. He sleeps on one next to the foster’s bed at night. Rex is cautious meeting new people but does ok. He wasn’t socialized well so is just a bit unsure, but there’s not a mean bone in his body. He warms up quickly with gentle words and touches. Rex isn’t a barker but will “soft” bark at neighborhood noises he’s unfamiliar with. He sometimes barks when he sees other dogs too, as he wants to go meet them (in a friendly way). He’s good with other dogs and loves the foster’s female lab. He loves to snuggle with her on the couch and follows her lead. He’d love a dog buddy in his new family, but if that’s not an option for him, he’ll need doggie friends to play with on a regular basis. Rex loves playing with toys and is a sloppy drinker. Rex is a very gentle boy and although he will jump up in excitement, we think he’d be really good with kids….even young kids. But they need to be sturdy, because he can jump up. He pulls on the leash (hasn’t had many leash walks) but not horribly and is working on “sit.” Rex is extremely affectionate and follows his foster mom everywhere. He constantly checks in with her and loves to flop in her lap on the couch. He travels well in the car, whining a bit at first sometimes, but settling in quickly. As always, we want Rex to go to a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s going to be a fabulous addition to a lucky family.
If you’re interested in Rex, please text Judy @(831)261-3409 and tell us about yourself and your family, your lab history, and where you’re located. Rex is located in Monterey.
