Representative Dogs That May Be Available For Adoption

GGLRR typically may have between 5 and 10 Labrador Retrievers available for adoption. In some cases, we have not taken possession of the dog as it may be under the control of another animal welfare organization (e.g., SPCA, Humane Society, etc.). We cooperate with Northern California agencies whenever possible...

The list of available dogs described below is representative of the Labradors we have (or are assisting with other organizations) at any time. The list is not all encompassing, not necessarily current, and some of the dogs may already have been adopted.

Our current list of Labrador Retrievers available for adoption is provided only to prospective owners who have been pre-screened by us. An explanation of the adoption procedure is contained on the "How We Work" page. The only way to adopt a Labrador Retriever through GGLRR is to contact and speak with our Rescue Representative nearest to your home, and complete the necessary adoption paperwork. Only when you have completed this process and have been accepted into Dogs Available our Adoption Program will you begin to receive the current list of Labs Available For Adoption..

Please read our adoption policies.

   I adopted Honey Bear from the Mendocino shelter a couple of weeks ago, he was found wandering on the beach in Ft Bragg. (I volunteer for Lab Rescue.) He is a 12-13 year old lab / golden retriever mix and in decent health. (I took him to the Vet and he is in good health – the only issue would be that he needs to have his teeth cleaned, his back end is a little weak and he has an ear infection – which we treated him. He weighs 55 pounds and can put on about 10 pounds.) I wanted to give him a nice home for the last years of his life. I brought Honey Bear home and he does not get along with my dogs. He is a very sweet nice dog who loves to be with people but he wants to be the top dog and my dogs do not want to give that up. He loves to be outside, go for walks and play. I would recommend that he finds a home that has no other pets and has an outside yard he can play in. He needs to be part of the house and not left in the back yard. He is currently at our dog sitter, who use to train dogs for Guide Dogs and they said he is a great loving dog. That he should not stay at our house as he will upset our two older dogs and they should not be put through this disruption. I would love to find Honey Bear a loving home for the last few years of his life. Please email or call me if you may be interested in adopting him.

PENNY 10-12 week old black female lab mix puppy 15-20 lbs

Penny is as cute as a button and has a fabulous personality for such a little baby.  She was rescued from the Bakersfield where she was picked up as a stray....hard to believe anyone would let this baby out of their sight!!  We snatched her up and she's in a wonderful foster home. We think she is 90% lab with maybe a touch of something else, but she definitely has a 100% lab personality.  Penny is a happy, friendly, confident little girl who LOVES other dogs.  She plays with dogs of all sizes and is not intimidated if they're big....she adores them all.  She follows her foster dad everywhere, but she isn't a needy puppy.  She likes to be cuddled, but is happy to chew on a bone or a stick and entertain herself.  She loves balls and is already retrieving.  Penny give the best soft  kisses.  She's  working on her housebreaking skills, but still needs to be taken out frequently.  She will sleep through the night in her crate though, and is very quiet.  She loves riding in the car in her crate and just curls up and goes to sleep....such a good girl!  She walks well on a leash and will come when called. She shares her water dish with other dogs with no problems and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her little puppy body.  We think she will be great with kids too.  Penny is very much a baby though and we want her to go to a home where someone is around most of the day. .
   

  
    Louie     Neutered black Lab Mix 3 - 4 years old 50 pounds  (he needs to gain about 10 pounds) Rescue saved Louie from being euthanized at the local shelter after he was dumped in a rescue volunteer’s neighborhood.  He’s a mellow, somewhat shy boy with a sweet, playful personality.  He seems to like everyone, especially the ladies!  That’s not to say that he doesn’t like men.  He also seems to like other dogs and has been friendly to all those he has met.  He is very easy going on a walk.  And, we haven’t heard him bark.  He will bond quickly to whomever adopts him.  He is housebroken and current on his vaccinations.  If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, please call Holly at (650) 322-9888.  Louie is located in Menlo Park.
Update:  Louie is doing very well and gaining weight.  He is coming out of his shell and really showing his cute personality.  He is the favorite at the vet clinic – everyone raves about how sweet he is.  He is enjoying daily walks and appreciates all the attention he is receiving.  Rescue would love to adopt him to a new home soon, so he can experience what it’s like to be well loved and appreciated.  

 
Red yellow female; approx. 8yrs old; 55lbs.  She has an appointment to be spayed in 4 weeks.  Red is from the Peninsula Humane Society. They took her in as a stray from the Woodside area. During her stay at the shelter she was not doing well. Red was frightened and did not feel well. Because of this we took her and she is now at the kennels in Pacifica until we can find her a permanent home or a foster home temporarily.Before bringing her to Pacifica she stayed at our Vet Hospital for a complete exam. A mammary tumor was found and surgery was done to have it removed. The bad news is the tumor did prove to be cancer. The good news is that there is no other sign of cancer. All other tests came back fine and no other treatment at this time is required. The vet feels that there is a good chance that the cancer could come back somewhere else in her body in the future so we will recheck her every 4 months or so just to keep an eye on her. Also, a fund has been set up for any additional care she may need in the future.   Red is a really nice dog. She loves people, is very smart, well trained, walks perfectly on leash, loves to retrieve, and can hold 3 balls in her mouth at one time. She is also fine with other dogs. She will need a new owner that understands that she is a older dog that perhaps has only 2 yrs left. After meeting her you will know why she deserves that second chance in a loving home.  For more information call Don at 650 359-0981
   

SIERRA (right) SPAYED CHOCOLATE FEMALE LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX  7 YEARS OLD 75 LBS. SARA (left) SPAYED CHOCOLATE FEMALE LABRADOR RETRIEVER  11 YEARS OLD  85 LBS. Sara and Sierra (two delightful and very sweet Labs) were left at a home (Reno, NV) when their owners were served with an eviction notice. They did leave the residence, furniture and all, except they left these very sweet girls behind.  Sadly, both girls ended up at the Washoe County Shelter and were listed as possibly "special needs" due to the fact that Sierra (the younger girl) appeared to be blind.  We suspect that the girls have been together for a long time as Sierra definitely takes cues for directions from her older buddy.  There is a possibility that the girls might even be related, maybe mother and daughter.  Sierra is a Lab mix, a shorter version of Sara but with a very Labby head and body.  They both are very friendly and sweet, and other than Sierra's vision issues, seem to be doing very well in foster care.  Their foster even suspects that Sierra might actually have partial vision as she has noticed that Sierra does seem to navigate around kitchen cabinets and furniture reasonably well; there is just that occasional... OOPS! when she bumps into something!!  Sierra's mix might be part basset hound, which would explain her front legs and shorter stature, but despite her conformation, she surely seems to get around very well.  Her vision issues may relate to congenital cataracts, but she has not been evaluated by an ophthalmologist.  There is a possibility that her vision could be improved if one or both of the cataracts could surgically be dealt with but for now she seems to do very well with her current state. It is for this reason the Lab Rescue feels that both girls should be adopted together.  Sara (the older girl) appears to be very bright and healthy with no evidence of any lameness issues, but we did note that she has a mammary mass that was evaluated by the shelter veterinarian and determined to not be a malignancy.  There was no evidence that there was any issue with peripheral lymph nodes and therefore probably not a life limiting problem.  Both girls would have very low exercise needs and would love to be family companions for the remainder of their lives.  They have been spayed in the past, are current on their vaccines, dewormed, micro-chipped and heartworm testing is pending.  They will be in foster care in the Reno, NV area through the weekend but will be moved to another foster in Martinez, CA early next week.  For any families wishing to help these really sweet girls and wanting dogs that will be very low maintenance but great companions, Sara and Sierra are the girls for you!!  For more information on these two great doggies, please call Robin at (530) 448-4811.

   Need someone to bring in the paper for you? Misty is your girl! 

5/11/08    MISTY SPAYED BLACK FEMALE 9 YEARS YOUNG 96 LBS. (needs  doggy weight-watchers) PUREBRED  Misty’s owners are moving out of the country and cannot take their beloved friend with them.  They have had Misty since she was 6 weeks old.  She is a very loving, mellow girl who just wants to please.  She is extremely well trained.  She will fetch (trained to fetch the morning paper), move to another place, go outside, go potty, etc., all on command.  She walks well on and off leash and will not cross the road unless you tell her.  She is housebroken, comes when called, knows sit, stay, down, heel, fetch, roll over, up, kiss, move, get off the carpet.  She likes to ride in cars, loves to swim, but if she sees water and you don’t tell her no, she will jump in!  She is fine with other dogs, but thinks she is human.  She loves humans off all ages.  Misty hasn’t been around cats, but she ignores rats, mice, hamsters and birds.  Misty is current on her vaccinations.  If you are interested in this amazing dog, please call Holly at (650) 322-9888.  Misty is located in Vacaville.


  
LUKE 3 year old neutered black male 85 pounds Luke is an extremely handsome boy who was yet another stray in Bakersfield.  He is very friendly and has obviously had some training.  He knows sit and down and walks well on a leash (unless he sees another dog, and then he pulls to go visit)!  He loves other dogs and plays well with them.  He even played nicely with Penny, the little black puppy that's also listed.  He has no aggression of any kind and will back down if a dominant dog wants his or her way.  He just wants to play and have fun.  His foster family has a 9 month old black female lab and they are best of friends.  Luke rides well in the car (we crated him, though I don't think he requires a crate).  He slept through the night on a dog bed next to his foster's bed.  He will bark to get attention, but stops when told to stop.  He definitely understands "no."  He is housebroken.  Luke loves to play with toys and especially loves to run around his foster sister with both of them hanging on to one toy.  He shares his water bowl without incident and has no food aggression.  Luke is a big boy and is very active and playful.  We're sure he'll be good with children, but might be too enthusiastic for toddlers (might knock them over without intending to).  You won't find a better looking boy and he's got the  personality to match.  For more information on Luke, please call Judy @ (831) 622-0577.  Luke is located in Monterey.

 


 Labradors available from individuals

 

   Charlie Brown is a wonderful, loving, child friendly, calm for his age 2 year old Chocolate Lab that is about 65 pounds. He was rescued back in December 2007 from the Grass Valley Shelter and he immediately bonded to our family which includes two children, 2.5 yrs old and 15 months and a 9 yr old female French Bulldog. He has slept with my 2.5 yr old on his bed on many occasions. He has learned to like his crate and is housebroken. He is microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccinations, and heartworm free!, He travels well in a vehicle and has gone on an extended vacations with us. We have taught him numerous training commands but he has the need to continue his education. He is deserving of a family/person who has the time and energy to dedicate to  his continuous training as he thrives on leadership and structure. He will need you to work him on socialization with lots of different humans and dogs as he is a very shy dog with low self esteem so is unsure of anybody outside his pack. He is currently in Fresno, Ca but if needed we could easily bring him to Los Angeles with us when we travel down there. If interested in this beautiful Chocolate Lab please contact: Monique @ 559-271-5974 or 626-422-0626. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 4/30/08

Jenny is a beautiful 4-year old pure-bred chocolate lab. She has the most precious face imaginable! Jenny came to us at about 2.5 years of age. Jenny lives with 2 other dogs, once of which is one of her puppies, and gets along well with them, though initially she needed some time to be truly comfortable and interactive with the other dog, a rottie mix. Jenny is mostly an outdoor dog and sleeps in the garage at night in an ungated crate. Jenny is a super sweet dog almost all the time, except when she is awakened out of sleep, or when she is eating food or playing with “her” toy. Because of this, and the new arrival of our baby, we think it’s best that she go to a home with older or no children, and with someone who will be able to train her out of this behavior. At all other times, Jenny has been the most friendly, fun-loving, cuddly dog that we could have hoped for. Jenny deserves a great home where she’ll receive lots of love and attention. Although she has been an outside dog (including garage) for the past year and a half, she did extremely well when she lived indoors while she was pregnant and nursing the puppies. In fact, she would probably do better in a home where she was allowed to go inside and outside at her own free will. She has not been exposed to children or little kids that we know of, so we aren’t sure exactly how she’ll do in that environment. In all honesty, the best situation for her would be living with a retiree in a house with a big backyard and no other dogs!  We would like to place Jenny in the right home and as such, we would like her new family to be approved by FCRR. In the meantime, you may contact us via email for more information at: nafoss5@hotmail.com. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 5/10/08

 


 Labrador available through other agencies

 

Whenever possible, Lab Rescue (GGLRR) will  list Labradors that are available through other San Francisco bay area animal shelters, other rescue organizations and individual rescuers.  If you know of a Labrador that is need of a home that is available through an organization such as these, please email us at doghouse@labrescue.org and we will post the information. The organizations below are not part of Golden Gate Labrador Rescue, Inc. We provide this listing service as a courtesy only. If you are interested in any of the dogs listed below you should contact these agencies directly. 

We have had tremendous success helping the local shelters and rescue groups place Labs and Lab mixes directly from the shelters. Because of this success, many of the shelters now keep dogs longer because they know they have an improved chance of placing these dogs. If you should adopt one of the dogs listed through one of the organizations below, please email doghouse@labrescue.org so we can keep our site as up to date as possible. It is updated daily and some times updated several times during the day as we receive updates from our volunteers and the general public. Thanks, Lab Rescue.

5/12/08    Hi there I am Ned. I am a 5-6 month old neutered male Black Lab/Retriever mix. My longer nose looks like I might have some Collie in me. My wavy coat look like I might have some Flat Coated Retriever in me. But for sure in me is playfulness, a love of people and happiness. I will do best in a home with children over 12 years old. I have been trying to find a home for a while and a shelter is no place to live for a young active guy like me. Why do people pass me by? Well I must admit in my kennel I have an annoying habit of barking to get people's attention. I do not do that when I am out of my kennel. My fur is black and there are a lot of black dogs here at the Ukiah Shelter... So many that for April the adoption fee is just $50. for all the black furred dogs. I sure hope to find a home soon. To meet me email Sage at mountais@co.mendocino.ca.us or call her at 707-467-6453. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 4/25/08    

   Hello I am Lilly. I am a year old spay female Black Lab mix. For many many month I lived in the Ukiah Shelter. I nearly went crazy, then a kind rescue group took me under their wing and brought me to a foster home. Where I got to run, play with other canines and be a dog! I have a personal trainer now who says, "Lilly loves people and other dogs, she lives to sniff things. Lilly is very, very loving. With her high energy she needs and active, active family." To meet Lilly please call Cheryl at 707-895-3785 or email ccs@saber.net. Lilly can come to Santa Rosa on a Saturday to meet prospective adopters. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 4/25/08 5/12/08 This dog is still available for adoption.

Hello I am Kino.  I am 7 year old Chocolate Lab with maybe a touch of Chesapeake Bay Retriever.  I was found as a stray by a family many months ago. They tried to find my people, but there were no where to be found.  I wanted to stay with the family who found me but their dog was not nice to me, so they brought me to the shelter. At their house I lived outside day and night, so in some ways maybe it is best that I am now in the Ukiah Shelter looking for a new family.  I am mellow and very people oriented. If you would like to know more about adopting me and get more photos of me please email Sage at mountais@co.mendocino.ca.us. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 5/12/08

Angie is a 10-year-old female Labrador Retriever mix who weighs approximately 60 lbs. This older girl's energy-level and spirit belie her age, for Angie can regularly be seen walking at a nice pace around the entire loop of Aquatic Park with a devoted volunteer.  Along the way, white coat glistening in the sun, Angie stops to graze in the high grass of the park's various meadows, to watch the various goings-on in the park environs, and to toss back over her shoulder, connecting glances with her walker.  Indeed, Angie seems to savor every moment outside, leading us to surmise that she may not have been given ample opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors in her life before arriving at the shelter.  Come meet this sweet girl whose soulful eyes only ask that you love her and treat her with the kindness that all dogs deserve.

Sphere is a 7-year-old neutered male Labrador Retriever/Chow Chow mix who weighs approximately 65 lbs. He came in with his much older lap-dog sized companion, Pami, who was adopted after only a few days.  He has been a bit forlorn in her absence, constantly looking for her when out on walks.  However, we are bound and determined to cheer up this sweet pooch, whose rather mournful bark and somewhat sad-looking eyes serve to further the impression that this pooch could use some fun times and a warm forever-home to look forward to.  We've been giving him lots of love, which he responds to in kind, and walks, which he appears to enjoy (and need, for Sphere is overweight, but definitely on a downward trend).  Sphere seems eager for the company of other dogs, and will bark playfully, tail wagging when he passes them on a walk.  This boy would make an excellent companion for someone who is looking for a housebroken, good-natured dog who relishes the companionship of humans and most female canines, alike. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 4/25/08   5/10/08 This dog is still available for adoption.

 
Faye is a 1 1/2-year-old spayed female Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who weighs approximately 50 lbs.  Faye is a subdued and beautiful deep brown Labrador-pit bull mix who will make a wonderful companion to an experienced (with dogs) individual or family where she is the only dog. Faye forges very intense connections with her humans, and on walks always stays loyally right by her companion's side. She is not distracted by passing bicycles, baby carriages, and runners, and does not care to interact with other dogs; her human is what seems to make Faye happiest. This sweet quiet girl has an overall good nature with humans and would undoubtedly appreciate the serenity that can be found in a loving forever-home.

   Home at Last   Arros is a 2-year-old neutered male Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier who is 65 lbs. Arros is a good-natured, alpha male who is very eager to please and fits well within the family environment.  He gets along and plays well with other female pitmixes, but does have a strong alpha tendency to want to "rule the roost" at times.  He is very active and loves to play fetch, go hiking and running. He is also trained and house broken and knows basic commands.  He crates very well, and just loves to "hang out" at times.  A good boy, our Arros!! Tell them Lab Rescue sent you. 12/29/07 5/10/08 This dog is still available for adoption.

 

Spartacus is a 1 1/2-year-old neutered male Labrador retriever/greyhound/boxer mix who weighs 60 lbs.  He is very high energy pooch and he loves the beach, parks, nature and running!  He does extremely well with his service backpack on, will heal very close, sometimes off leash, loves rules and responds well to them.  Spartacus is dog friendly; he lived with a Chihuahua and a mini pinscher for 8 months.  He does not know his size so he has a hard time around kids because of his excitement and jumping on them.  He does not like to be alone but will be fine if you leave radio or TV on and give him a bone.  Spartacus knows sit, no, get in your cage, give me the ball, and responds well to corrective noises.  He has a bit of a jumping problem but if told to sit, will do so right away.  If he has his regular hour walk/run in the morning, he responds to obedience very well.  He is crate and house trained as long as you have a routine with him.  If you pet him when he is excited sometimes he will submissively pee (a little).   I would ignore him, wait for him to come to me and sit on my right and then I would pet him.  I don't like to encourage the excitement.  To the right home, I will gladly give them his $200 brand new crate, and his service backpack, and leashes.  I could even do his vaccines for free for a year.  I just want him to be ok.  I really love him, and I know he deserves a better home.  I love Spartacus dearly but unfortunately I have fallen on very hard times and no place that I can afford will let a dog of this size in.  I finally found a place to live but they only allowed me to stay if my large dog, Spartacus, can find a home.  They already have a large aggressive dog and they are starting to get into little tuffles.  I have moved in already and they are pressing me to find a better home for him than my room and his kennel. I love him so much.  I hate that it has to come to this for such a sweet spirit.  He just loves any and everybody! I hope he can get an excellent home. Any questions about Spartacus or if you want to adopt Spartacus, call Terra at 707-567-0266. Tell them Lab Rescue sent you .5/5/08 5/10/08 This dog is still available for adoption.

5/12/08   Chester Case Number: 56941 Primary Breed: Labrador Retriever Secondary Breed: Great Dane Gender: Male Age: 5 Years Color: Black Weight: Approximately 95 pounds Fee:$100 Description: Chester is a gentle giant. And by giant, we mean he's a big boy. He'll be around 95 pounds when he puts some weight back on. Chester is sweet and oh so mellow. He is very sensitive and eager to please. Chester listens well and already knows the command "sit." He walks nicely on a leash, too. Chester likes other dogs and is showing respect for cats. Chester is affectionate and gives kisses; with that big mouth they are sloppy sometimes. He also seems to love water in his foster mom's kiddie pool, but we suspect he's more of a dip and layout guy vs. going for big swims. He is a dog who loves too much and bonds heavily with his humans, so he'll need a home where someone is home most of the time. He isn't destructive when he's alone, but he can jump a 6 foot fence in search of companionship. His new humans should have a secure place to keep him when he's alone like a really big crate or indoor laundry room, and be willing to perhaps try some doggy prozac while they teach him to be confident alone. Copy and paste this link to read more about his issue - http://www.sspca.org/Dogs/SeparationAnxiety.html Our behaviorist can also give you some tips on helping Chester be successful in your home. Chester is worth any investment in his behavior, he's such a doll! **Chester is not at the shelter, he is in foster care.

Shadow  Case Number: 54496  Primary Breed: Labrador Retriever  Secondary Breed: Mixed Breed  Gender: Female  Age: 12 Years 0 Months  Color: Black  Weight: Approximately 40-75 pounds  Fee: $100  Description: Shadow is such a great dog.
