GGLRR foster homes are often full when we find special Labs who we think deserve a chance. These Labs are in the process of getting into our program (evaluation, vet visit, etc) and having a foster identified gets us one step further in finding a forever home.
Find out more about about fostering with GGLRR and contact the rep listed if you are interested in helping in this key way. These Labs will be added to our Labs Available page when they are ready for adoption.
Additional fosters needed, can be found on the adoption page.
Foster Needed for 2 year-old Quicksilver, Silver Neutered Male

About our program: https://www.labrescue.org/fostering.html
He was picked up as a stray and is currently waiting in a shelter near Monterey. He is a young, big, friendly, strong dog. Think very large puppy! It appears Quicksilver belonged to someone. He looks to be a very healthy and solid guy. He knows sit, took treats gently, and allowed all over handling.
He's at a shelter with limited resources where they rely on volunteers to get the dogs out and exercised so he's not getting the attention he needs. They do not have any small dogs at this shelter so I was unable to observe him around any. We did do interactions with a similar sized male (through the fence) and female (on leash and in the yard). Quicksilver was over the top excited to interact with the female. After the initial excitement of jumping towards and trying to jump on her, I was able to take his leash, walk him around the yard and bypass her without issue. She was a more submissive dog. The ideal foster home will have experience with large, energetic dogs. He'll beneift from a consistent routine that includes regular exercise, training and positive socialization.

Our volunteers donate their personal time & phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
