Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in San Francisco, California

Rex 3-year-old male yellow Lab mix 77 lbs Neutered Background: A heartbreaking story... This guy was brought in to a vet in Stanislaus County by a good Samaritan (we think) who found him. We suspect he had either fallen off the back of a truck or had been hit by a car. He was suffering from multiple abrasions and lacerations and a dislocated hip. A rescue advocate in the Modesto area notified us... and we mobilized to get him the heck out of there and into our program. After a few quick vet visits and med boarding, he was treated for his wounds and underwent FHO surgery on 17 April to resolve the dislocated femur bone. What foster says: Rex came to me one day following FHO surgery. He was on four meds and had to wear the cone of shame with limitations. Fast forward a few months and Rex has made great progress and gets around really well. He is completely housebroken, a true gentleman and well behaved in the house and the backyard. Rex has learned to love his crate after some work and easily chills for a few hours when I need to leave the house. Rex has a healthy appetite and sleeps through the night on a dog bed in my room. Rex does have a very strong prey drive that also carries over to our walks when he sees other dogs and animals. He truly loves all people but he is quite anxious/reactive when he sees other dogs and cats, besides the neighbor's dog that he walks with. He is not a “dog park dog” and really enjoys spending time with me in the backyard and the house. Loves to sniff around, chase squirrels and birds in the yard when he gets a chance. He is not a digger or a barker. Rex would do best with an experienced dog owner, someone who spends a lot of time at home, that will give him regular exercise in the backyard and continue with his training if you plan to walk him. Rex is perfectly happy hanging out near his person and will become your best friend quickly. What Rescue Rep Says Quite a rescue and recovery for Rex. We did a DNA test on him... and he came back.... as... drum roll... half doberman, half pit bull terrier. We were thinking Rhodesian ridgeback, visla... Rex is fine with dogs he has been properly (and slowly) introduced to. But he is hyper vigilant and alert on walks about the neighborhood. He becomes quite anxious when he sees other dogs, cats, squirrels, etc... and kinda loses his mind. We are enlisting the help of professional dog trainers to design a rehabilitation/de-sensitization program for Rex. He will need a savvy and strong adopter who is game to take on a project. Not for a home with kids or anyone unsteady on their feet or a cat within a 10-mile radius. Medical: Rex is current on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and neutered. He continues to build up muscle on that FHO'd leg. Located In: Mountain View If you are interested in Rex, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net

Blue: 7 year-old black Labrador, 65 Pounds, Spayed Background: Blue's family made a decision to rehome her as they didn’t have time for her. The adult daughter, who was Blue's main caretaker, moved out of the home this last year. Blue was primarily an outside dog and was not getting the attention she deserved. In her first foster home, Blue showed some possessiveness over toys when other dogs were nearby. With her current foster family, toys are kept out of the environment. For this reason, we recommend a toy-free shared space if there are other dogs in the home. What Blue's Foster Says: Blue knew one family, where she was primarily kept in the backyard, but despite that, she’s affectionate, eager to connect and adapting well to the comforts of indoor living. Blue is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out by standing at the door quietly or barking when someone isn't there to let her out. Blue is a beautiful purebred American lab, with strong prey instincts and a true lab demeanor (loving, loyal, smart). She is such a sweet, loving girl who loves to cuddle, but she is also very spirited and loves to get wild with toys or chasing birds! She’s a moderately active dog who needs one good long walk or a few short walks a day. I’ve been doing a few miles at the beach each day with her and that seems to tire her out. She’d do great with a family where she gets lots of play and stimulation or anyone who is home most of the day. If you’re looking for a full-time buddy, she’s your girl! She sleeps great all night in her crate with no issues, but would also love a home where she can sleep near you or with you, but it’s not needed. She’s on a schedule of 10/11pm bed and 7/8am wake up, but she will sleep in as well. She Loves to chase birds at the beach or park and has an excellent nose, she probably would’ve made a great hunting dog. We’re working on her recall with a long leash and she’s doing really well. She stays right by my side 90% of the time anyways, but we’re working on her listening when something excites her to run, like birds or a dog. I think she was given a lot of love in her previous home due to how sweet and loving she is toward all people and kids I’ve seen her meet. She’s a perfect angel in the car, so anywhere you wanna go she is happy to politely join! She pulls on leash and she’s pretty strong for her size, but she does well with a harness and plenty to sniff. Walks are pretty leisurely while she’s sniffing, but if she sees a bird she will sprint to catch it, even if it’s flying overhead lol! She barks at some dogs on leash, which we’ve been working on and she’s doing better. She’s been learning to look at me for a treat instead and she stays “calm” while she looks at me. She previously lived with 3 other labs and I’ve seen her wag her tail very excitedly at certain dogs playing at the beach, so I think she would love to be around other dogs to have buddies to play with. However, she would also do really well in a home as the only dog where she’s getting all the attention as she is very people focused. She will follow you everywhere. She loves to be by you all day even just to nap while you work. She’s crazy for food, which helps a lot with training, she’ll do anything for a treat! But it does require we keep the kitchen closed while we’re not in there or if we’re distracted cooking. She does some demand barking (mainly for dinner and attention), but it hasn’t been a big issue. It doesn’t seem like she had rules or training enforced in her home, but she’s a good girl, very smart, and seems trainable. It’s going to take a bit of time and patience, but anyone who is willing to invest in her training will end up with a great dog with so much love to give! What Rescue Rep Says: We want Blue in a home where she won't be left for long stretches of the day. A stay-at-home parent, families who work from home or families who can take her to work with them would be ideal. A family who wants a dog to accompany them on outdoor adventures and vacations would be wonderful! We are looking for a home where Blue will receive daily exercise and activity. Her previous owner emphasized that Blue DOES NOT LIKE CATS! Blue loves to swim. It would be ideal if her next home had a pool. Blue was raised around children ages 8–14 and spent time with a toddler over the past year but with her being an outside dog, we don't know how much time she actually spent with them. We discovered that Blue is not a fan of the vet. Prior to making her way to us, we sent her to the vet to get vaccines updated. Blue did fine up until the vet went to examine her ears; Blue got snappy so the visit was cut short. The owners report Blue was never like that before but Blue's last visit prior to this was over three years ago. We have taken Blue to the vet since and while she is happy to be there and likes the vet, she reacted when she had a painful abscess examined on her bottom. A few quirks to note: She’s not a fan of the vet, so visits may require a little extra patience and planning. On walks, she barks at other dogs, but with guidance and consistency, this can be managed. She also barks at the gardener. If you’re looking for a loving, people-focused pup who will happily follow you from room to room and curl up next to you whenever she gets the chance, look no further. She craves human attention and will thrive in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily life. Her ideal day includes daily walks, running around the backyard, being by your side, and maybe a cozy nap on a soft bed nearby. She will also join you on the sofa if you let her. Seeking experienced dog owners or individuals who have previously worked with dogs that need some behavior management. A stable household with a predictable routine, which can help Blue feel secure and reduce any anxiety-driven behaviors. Medical: Blue is spayed. She is up to date with Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, heartworm tested (negative) and is microchipped. Located In: San Francisco. If you are interested in Blue, please email Rescue Rep Kris Krisellen.nm@gmail.com In your email, please tell me about yourself and why you would be a good fit for Blue.

GARY ~5 Year-old Neutered Male Lab Mix, Black, 55 Pounds at fair Background: Gary was picked up as a stray by the San Jose animal shelter back in March and brought to our attention by a concerned citizen who went out to meet him and sent some photos of Gary listless in his kennel with some skin afflictions on his legs. Gary was reportedly suffering from some kennel stress and was very resistant going back into his kennel after he'd been out. With increased exercise, Gary was much more cooperative going back into his kennel. Lab Rescue went to meet him and by that time, his skin looked better and he was very eager to get out and play. What Gary's Foster Says: Gary is the ultimate velcro pup and happiest boy in the world! He settled in quickly to our home and has an endearing and playful personality. He sleeps peacefully through the night on a dog bed in the bedroom, although he wouldn’t say no to snuggling in yours if invited. From day one, he’s been 100% housetrained. During our work from home hours, he rotates between his dog bed and his crate for naps, often self-crating with the door open but doesn’t fuss when we close the door. Gary enjoys a light walk around the block in the morning to sniff and explore, and either a second walk or a good game of fetch in the evening. Fetch is his favorite thing in the world, and his whole body wiggles in anticipation of a throw. He is a complete sweetheart; he hasn’t met a person he didn’t love. He’s affectionate, playful, food-motivated, and learns incredibly fast. Gary has been left alone in short increments but is still learning that not every open door means it’s time for an adventure. He can be leash reactive, particularly if he feels vulnerable (like mid-potty), and he can be wary of delivery people, occasionally barking at them. But with continued socialization and training, we believe he’ll grow more confident in those situations. He’s so smart and responsive, he already is mastering a bag full of tricks. With consistent guidance, he could really shine, potentially in agility or another enrichment activity. Other great things about Gary are that he rides calmly and quietly in the car and handles baths and blow drying like a champ. He truly lives to please and connect with his people. What Gary's Rescue Rep Says: Gary is a very ball-motivated dog that will flourish in a home where he can receive daily fetch sessions, a yard to play, and a home where he won't be left alone for long stretches of the day, one where he will be a welcomed member of the family, receive lots of attention, love and exercise. We tested Gary with other dogs when he was at the shelter and he did okay but was more interested in his ball. He loved playing in the kiddie pool at the shelter. Since we don't know Gary's history, we don't recommend a home with small children or cats. Medical: Gary is neutered, microchipped, updated on vaccines and has been heartworm tested. He is on a monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. We took Gary to the vet for incessant scratching and biting at his fur. He was given a Cytopoint injection, along with antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection on his skin. His foster has reported that Gary's skin is doing much better and his scratching has significantly decreased. Located In: San Jose If you are interested in adopting Gary, please contact Rescue Rep Kris at krisellen.nm@gmailcom In your email, please tell me what city you reside in, a little bit about yourself and dog experience, along with why you would be a good fit for Gary.

Java is a smart, athletic, and people-oriented dog who thrives with structure, routine, and outdoor time. She’s a bit shy at first, but very curious and bonds deeply once she feels safe. Java loves fetch, trail walks, sniffing adventures, and car rides—and settles nicely at home after good exercise. Daily Routine: Two walks plus a longer hike or fetch session, Three meals. Ideal Home: Java would do best as an only dog with an active adult or experienced dog handler, a calm, structured environment, and someone comfortable continuing training and confidence-building. Things to Know: Prefers to be the only pet, sensitive to loud noises (thunder, fireworks), experiences some separation anxiety. Why Rehoming: This decision is being made thoughtfully and with Java’s best interests in mind. She deserves a home that can meet her physical, emotional, and training needs long-term.

Blackjack: ~2 Years old male German Shorthaired Pointer/German Shepherd Mix 75 pounds Neutered Background: This young dog was found roaming the streets of Fairfield in early 2024. The finder notified the local animal control and made "found dog" postings but no one came to claim him. The finder decided to hold onto him during his stray hold period and contacted us for help finding him a new home. We shifted Blackjack to a Lab Rescue foster home in mid-2024. What Blackjack's Foster Says: Blackjack is a handsome ~2-year-old Lab-looking German Shepherd/German Shorthaired Pointer mix who’s 75 pounds of energy, affection, and fun. He may not be a Labrador Retriever, but Blackjack is one-of-a-kind! This resilient, affectionate, and fun-loving boy has all the makings of a devoted family member and is ready to be your next adventure buddy. With a little time and patience, Blackjack will reward you with endless love and companionship. Outdoor Adventurer: Blackjack loves to run, play, and explore. Whether it’s chasing squirrels, splashing in the kiddie pool, fetching rocks, or enjoying the fresh air, he’s happiest with plenty of room to stretch his legs. Big Personality: Equal parts goofy and sweet, Blackjack will keep you laughing with his antics and melt your heart with his loyalty. Morning belly rubs are his favorite way to start the day! Adventurer in Training: He is eager to go on walks, though he’s still refining his leash manners. With slow introductions, Blackjack enjoys meeting new people and dogs. Trips to Home Depot are a favorite—he loves exploring new sights and smells! Smart and Eager to Learn: This bright boy responds well to structure and consistency. He’s ready to shine with a committed owner who will guide him. What Blackjack's Rescue Rep Says: Blackjack is searching for an experienced dog owner who can offer him a loving home with the structure, patience, and training he needs to thrive. He’d do well in a suburban or rural setting with plenty of space to run, where he can fully enjoy outdoor adventures and live his best life. He’d also thrive with another dog or kids to play with, but he’s not a fit for first-time dog owners, a home with cats, or urban living. Despite his rough start, Blackjack has blossomed into a loving, loyal dog with so much to offer. He’s smart, eager to learn, and ready to be the heart of your home. If you’re ready to welcome an affectionate, energetic, and loyal companion into your life, Blackjack is waiting to meet you. If you think this amazing dog might be the one for you, reach out to learn more about him and arrange a meeting. Blackjack can’t wait to find his forever family! Medical: In great health. Current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. Located In: Placerville (totally worth the drive) If you want to adopt Blackjack, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net.

Kari is one of the 8 golden siblings (Elianas sister) that have all flown over last June. Shes the last one to find her forever home as shes still pretty timid and very hesitant to walk on leash. Shes appx 2 yrs old, weights about 45 to 50lbs. Shes gentle despite how timid she is and she will benefit if theres another pup at home that will help her settle in. Shes potty trained, she gets very curious in car rides and she just needs someone that will be patient and teach her as she will need time to adjust.

Sweet Oatmeal is ready to find his forever home! Hes appx 1.5 yrs old, weights about 45lbs and is full grown. He is very friendly with dogs and people, loves kids! He loves going out for his walks and run around, he does well in car rides, he loves to eat but he does have a constant tick around his mouth due to distemper but luckily he pulled through. He is a dog meat truck survivor but even still he is the sweetest golden pup! He salivate a bit when he sleeps and when he sees food as he cant control his saliva due to the tick around his mouth so whoever adopts him will need to be ok with this and doesnt mind wiping his mouth and teeth a bit more often throughout the day, especially after he drinks water and eats! He's house trained and potty trained, doesnt pull much on walks but he does bark and gets excited when he sees other dogs on walks.
