Story
Meet Six!  He came to us after spending six months on a hill after escaping the shelter where he was housed.  Two months prior, he had been relinquised by a family reporting his primary peson for his first four years of life had passed away.  He was confused, scared and took off while on a walk with a volunteer.  With no sightings for months it was assumed he was gone forever until that first call came in of a dog needing help.  Six had taken up residence in the rough terrain of a college campus hillside where he could avoid the high traffic area with cars and people, he could stay hidden and come and go without being noticed.  Once trapped and identfied as the dog assumed gone forever we planned a way to make space so his shelter days were over and his rehab could begin. Six came to us clearly having had human experiences.  He knew Sit, Shake and once feeling safe welcomed touch, affection and even liked to lean.  Unfortunately due to a lack of life exposure before his shelter expeerience, trauma from six months on his own in survival mode or a combination of both Six struggled with anything beyond a calm and controlled environment.  He has spent the last few months working on his confidence and now enjoys his outings and is on the regular list of participants for pack walks and adoption events.  He LOVES food, is eager to please (or always seeks to not do wrong) and learns quickly with a calm approach.  He still struggles with meeing new men but once sure he is safe lets them completely in.  Don't let his age fool you.  He still acts lke he's two and looks forward to every opportunity to be the center of attention, play with those around him and avoids conflict with other dogs. He is now ready to graduate to a foster or foster to adopt home where he can refresh his real life skills rather than continue in a kennel setting.  He would do best with a neutral and balanced dog.  Due to his confidence building older children would be best.  He is an extreme flight risk so someone as committed to his safety as loving. him is a must.  Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  No off leash activites for life in unfenced areas.  I need to stay safe.  Are you ready to help me land my forever? ##1958533##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bear Is Looking For A Forever Home!! Bear is a young high energy dog that is house trained, crate trained, dog social and ready to find his forever home! Bear is a golden retriever mix that is very excitable; loves to run and likes hugs and kisses. Bear knows his basic commands like sit and "Where is the ball?" He still needs some work on jumping up and not resource guarding. We are going to say he would do best with older consider kids because he is very mouthy. Bear is a sweet boy who needs a home that understands he is a high energy dog and needs structure, exercise, and training. Email labradorsandfriends@yahoo.com or fill out our online application at www.labradorsandfriends.org.

Story
Summer is an affectionate Golden Retriever who is as sweet as they come, melting hearts with his gentle nature and loving personality. With a wagging tail and a heart full of love, Summer is perfect for families with young children (we have three), as he adores their playful energy and is always ready for cuddles and companionship. Not only does Summer get along famously with kids, but he's also a friend to felines (we have two cats), showing his adaptable and sociable nature. His manners are impeccable – never a bark or a bite, just pure love and joy in every interaction. Every time the doorbell rings, Summer eagerly races to greet guests, welcoming them with open paws and an irresistible urge for belly rubs. His devotion to people is unmatched, making him the sweetest dog you'll ever meet.

Story
Zen's an awesome dog! He's all about attention, walks, splashing in water, and playing fetch. We've had him since he was a pup, adopting him from another family. He is now 7 years old. He's super chill and absolutely loves his food. Thankfully, he's in great shape. But, we're facing a tough situation as we're moving overseas and can't take him with us. Zen gets along with some dogs, but big ones make him a bit wary since he's so protective. We really want to find him a loving family who'll give him all the love and care he deserves.

Story
Had him since he was a puppy and is up to date on all shots with records. Great with kids and dogs of all sizes. Goes to doggy daycare frequently. Good on a leash. We are moving and would prefer that he goes to a home with a backyard or someone with lots of time and attention for him. Full transparency he is not fully potty trained and part of the reason why he is being rehomed. Unfortunately he does have lots of accidents in his kennel and inside. We have tried potty training since he was small but with two parents working full time it has been hard. This is his only quirk and other than that is super well behaved. He will come with food, toys, records, pictures, etc. We are asking a small rehoming fee to make sure he goes to a home. For any more information please text or email!
