Big is the ultimate sweetheart. Very chill dog, great for beginners. Potty trained, quiet when you leave, and loves to sleep and snuggle. Knows sit and was doing some stay, down and leave it tricks as well. I just work too much now with my new job and don’t have the time to be with him as much as I should.

***LOCAL ADOPTER NEEDED (within 50 miles of Apex, NC)! This dog is heartworm positive and still needs to complete his treatment at our partner vet in Apex, NC!*** Some dogs are just meant to be together — and that’s Rufus and Dudley. Found side-by-side and clearly devoted to one another, these two best buddies are the definition of a bonded pair. They play together, cuddle together, cry when separated, and even give each other the sweetest ear kisses. If you’re looking to double the love in your home, these boys are ready. 🤎 Rufus — Brawns and Brains Rufus is a 3-year-old chocolate Lab mix and the ultimate guy’s guy — all about good vibes, chasing balls, carrying sticks, and diving into BIG snuggles. Outgoing, fun, and great with kids and other dogs, he tilts his head like he’s listening to every word you say. But behind that handsome, goofy charm? A seriously smart pup. Rufus will outsmart you in a game of chase and already knows sit and stay like a pro. He’s practicing his leash manners and working on toning down his “jump-for-joy” excitement, but he’s eager, teachable, and incredibly sweet. His favorite thing is being close to his people — especially stretched out on the couch in full snuggle mode. Rufus will need ACL surgery, fully covered by Peak Lab Rescue. To continue his treatment with the PLR vet, he must live within 30 minutes of Apex, NC. 💛 Dudley — The Sweetest Snugglebug Dudley, a 1-year-old yellow Lab mix, is the softest, sweetest homebody you’ll ever meet. He LOVES kids, other dogs, and allllll the snuggles. This gentle boy thrives on calm, cozy moments and would happily spend most of his day cuddled up on the couch or resting near his people. He’s great on a leash, polite, and continues to grow in confidence and skills. His mellow spirit beautifully balances Rufus’s playful energy — they complement each other in the most perfect way. Dudley is heartworm positive, but his treatment is fully covered by Peak Lab Rescue. He must also live within 30 minutes of Apex, NC to continue care with the PLR vet. 🐾 Why They Belong Together Rufus and Dudley aren’t just friends — they’re family to each other. They find comfort and confidence when they’re together and struggle when one is out of sight. They curl up together, play beautifully, and show their love in the sweetest ways (ear kisses included!). Keeping them together means they get to feel safe, supported, and loved the way they deserve. ✨ Ready to Double the Love? Rufus brings the brawns, Dudley brings the snuggles, and together they bring endless joy, sweetness, and devotion. If you’re ready for twice the cuddles, twice the laughter, and twice the love… Rufus and Dudley would love to be your perfect pair. 🐾 Apply today and let these two amazing boys steal your heart together

Story
Hi there, I’m Mr. Socks! …yes, those socks — the ones on my paws that make everyone smile. I’m a five‑month‑old, 40‑pound puppy with a big heart, a soft coat, and an even softer spot for cuddles. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate buddy, I think we might be a perfect match. A little about me - I lived with two little kids and two senior dogs, and I loved them all with my whole wiggly body. I’m currently having a blast playing with a younger dog in my foster home — puppy playtime is my favorite sport. I’m house trained, which means I know exactly where to do my business. I’m getting used to crate training and working on my alone‑time anxiety. I just love being near my people, but I’m learning to feel safe and confident on my own. I’m practicing leash walking, and every day I get a little better. I already know how to sit and wait, and I’m eager to learn more. I adore toys, especially the squeaky kind, and I’m a world‑class cuddler who will melt into your lap like warm butter. What I’m looking for - A family who wants a loving, loyal, playful companion. Someone who will help me keep learning, give me structure, and enjoy all the snuggles I have to offer. I promise to give you my whole heart in return. If you’re ready for a sweet, affectionate pup who’s growing into the best boy ever… I’m your guy.

Story
Hi, I’m Salem! I am 5 months old and 40 pounds! I love snuggles, belly rubs, and, most of all, treats! I am very shy at first but once you have patience with me I am your new best friend. I tend to be quiet, unless I am playing with my toys, or people then I will slide and glide over the floor. I walk pretty well on my leash, I tend to pull but when you stop I will stop too and walk by your side. I’m playful and love spending time together. I get along great with other dogs, and kids, I haven’t met any cats yet, but I think I’d do fine with a slow introduction. I love my crate, even though I sometimes bark or whine a bit before settling in. I’m doing really well with potty training too! I go outside, and do not have accident in the house. I will go to the door when I really need to go out. Do not forget to grab our coats! I get cold easily and start shaking so I need my coat on really cold days. We could be matching buddies with our jackets! I would love that so much! If you like cuddles, playtime, and snacks as much as I do, I think we’ll be the perfect match! Lets meet, and become forever friends!

Hi everyone! I’m Cody, a 2-year-old yellow lab mix ready to burst into your life with my youthful energy! I’m a very sweet, playful pup… and if you hadn’t noticed from my pictures, super handsome! I am a big boy weighing in at 90 lbs, but still happy to crawl up in your lap like a sweet little pup. I am content during the day entertaining myself with toys while my foster family works from home, but always up for playing fetch, tug of war, running around with a four-legged buddy or going for a long walk through the neighborhood. I am also a big fan of hopping in the car and seeing where the next adventure lies. I’m quick to make new friends with dogs and people, but I have a tendency to be a little over exuberant at first. I’m learning this “slow introduction” thing, but it’s a process. I’m just super excited to meet everyone and don’t realize my own size. I have not yet met any cats, so I’m probably best suited for a home without any feline siblings, or at least one that is dog savvy. I’m fully house trained, so no need to worry about any unwanted messes around the house. I’m also a world class napper and sleep quietly through the night. I am up-to-date on all vaccines, neutered and microchipped. Whether you’re looking for a buddy to join in on the family fun or just a playful pup to share moments together, I am ready to bring joy, loyalty and love to my new home! If this sounds like you, contact PLR today and schedule a time to come and meet me!
