Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Issaquah, Washington

Darcy is a 1y7m old Chocolate Labrador Retriever, who is great in the house. Darcy loves to snuggle up in bed beside you, and will always bring you his favorite toy. His favorite toys are hard chew toys like kongs with peanut butter inside them. He is extremely intelligent and learns any trick fast. He currently knows: sit, down, paw, stay, kennel, and place. However, he is leash reactive towards dogs and suffers from minor separation anxiety. We would love to see him go home to someone who can be with him until he can be comfortable with people leaving. He is crate trained and potty trained.

I adopted Luna a month ago. She’s a fantastic dog, hardly barks, house trained, super snuggly. I however did not account for my school load and work schedule and cannot provide Luna with the time and care she needs.

Ryan is likely to remain a "resident" of Motley Zoo, rather than be adopted as he's been looking for his home for 3 years+. This is ok with us as we love him and know how to care for him, but as he is likely to remain indefinitely, he needs support with his food and veterinary care, long-term.  We are seeking sponsors for his ongoing care so we can provide him the best life possible, even if he will be a Roadie forever. Sponsor this precious boy, here:  https://www.motleyzooanimalrescue.org?form= Ryan   NAME: Ryan Reynolds AGE/GENDER: born 7/29/2020), Male BREED: Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd ADOPTION DONATION: $550 TEMPERAMENT: Playful and mischievous WEIGHT:  50ish lbs HOUSE TRAINING: Due to his special needs, he is slightly mentally delayed so he will need a consistent schedule with multiple opportunities daily to go outside while he works on it. He is developmentally delayed and taking a bit longer to potty train. CRATE TRAINING: Good. He sleeps in his crate and is crated when not supervised. He also eats in his crate and expects you to feed him promptly once he's in his crate. OTHER DOGS: Good. Ryan does well with dogs he knows but can sometimes get overwhelmed and sensitive, so needs to be monitored and calmed before he gets overloaded. No small dogs, as he cannot differentiate his play style with large dogs versus small. CATS: He's a bit of a cat chaser. Continued socialization will be important. CHILDREN: Dog-respectful children, 12 and older   HEALTH: Ryan Reynolds does have some developmental delays due to early trauma (see history below). He has some lasting physical effects as well as mental effects, but he is a mobile guy. He has some depth perception issues. He is neutered, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. Puppies are given vaccination boosters in our care; however, adoptive families will be responsible for the remaining vaccinations that puppies need. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. HISTORY: Ryan Reynolds came to us after his mother attacked him and his litter mates. Thankfully Ryan Reynolds survived, but not without physical injury and subsequent developmental delays, similar to shaken baby syndrome. Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find him a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do! NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME: Ryan Reynolds is developmentally delayed and has some fear issues. He LOVES his schedule and has a hard time adjusting to new things but he will adjust. He does, however, have brain trauma so will be different than your average dog. He is loving and affectionate in his own way, but he cannot be cuddled as he can be sensitive to touch. However, he is starting to hit you with his paw for attention and does love to be pet. He knows his name and he knows simple commands such as sit. He loves food and while he may not get the cues, commands, tricks you're asking of him, it's not for lack of effort. He should wear a sign that says Will Work For Food. He will even eat his veggies! The more you work with him, the more he will get but will be a little bit slower on the pickup. Neuro puppies tend to be hypersensitive so they tend to over exaggerate things/emotions. So fear can be intensified and distressed when his schedule changes. For example he loves to ride in the car but he has to be in a crate and when he exits the crate he will not jump out straight out when the door is opened, but rather has to walk cross to his "spot" to jump down. He really loves eating from puzzle feeders, like Kong wobblers and the like. It's great fun for him. Want to entertain him without much effort? Throw a Kong wobbler at him and you'll hear him knocking that thing around all over the place. He is very loving but not very cuddly and will give kisses (but may not always hit the mark). Lack of depth perception, so he may lick your nose one time, your ear at another time, and your eye the next. He is getting used to being held and hugged but can panic at being restrained (hugged) for too long. He loves to walk but may not always in a straight line. He is a wonderful silly and sweet little boy with just some little quirks. He has a permanent head tilt so will always look at you, like he's very curious and interested in what you have to say, hanging onto your every word (which he may just be feigning interest very well).   All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs.   ABOUT MOTLEY ZOO   Welcome to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue.

Some requirements: needs another large dog in the home and someone with experience with shy, large breed dogs.    NAME: Amy Santiago AGE/GENDER: Estimated 7.20.20, Female BREED: Labrador Retriever mix TEMPERAMENT: Shy, nervous, sweet, playful with other dogs WEIGHT: 60ish pounds HOUSE TRAINING: Good! Amy is housebroken as long as she is allowed out appropriately. CRATE TRAINING: She is crate trained and does well in her crate. OTHER DOGS: Good! She requires another dog in the home for her emotional well- being. She can tend to be dominant with other dogs, so an easygoing/ noncompetetive male would be the best match for her. CATS: Probably not. CHILDREN: Best in a home without children due to her shyness and lack of socialization. ADOPTION DONATION: $550.00 HEALTH: Amy Santiago is healthy! She is spayed, microchipped, flea treated, vaccinated, and dewormed. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. HISTORY: Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find her a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do! NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME:    Amy came to us as a young dog. She was part of an unwanted litter and raised in a country setting with her brother and sister (both of whom have been adopted and their families adore them!), so did not initially meet many people and hasn't seen much of the world beyond that one property. As a result she's struggled with her shyness and socialization.    This can be fixed and Amy can grow into a more confident dog, but she requires assistance both from another dog and from a patient person. The dog in your home should be friendly and outgoing so they can help show Amy the world is not a scary place. Amy loves to play with other dogs and learns to trust and love her people in time, with baby steps. She is not aggressive as she will tend to flee when confronted, but if not given that space/ opportunity, she could panic.   Amy Santiago is a very sweet girl who bonds to her immediate circle of people; however, she is wary of strangers and it will be an ongoing process of socialization for her to overcome. She is a bit more leery of men than women, so she may avoid men while bonding with the females in the home. It will be important, however, to counterbalance that with specific efforts on any male's part.   She is initially fearful and uncertain in new environments, so is not really the type to be out and about with you at breweries, dog parks, etc. She does need walks in the neighborhood to increase her confidence and when she's ready and truly trusts you, you can slowly tackle new environments.   In her comfort zone, she is silly and sweet and has a lot of potential with the right, patient family and you will see all the great things we do. She loves her people and is the most faithful companion. So happy, and greets you with a wagging tail. Adopting her may require a couple of meetings to become oriented with her so she understands and expects what is coming next...hopefully, moving into your home as a new furry friend for you and your dog!   All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs.   Welcome to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue.

NAME: Evan Peters AGE/GENDER: 6 month old, male BREED: Lab/Pit mix (maybe, we don't really know) TEMPERAMENT: Sweet and friendly HOUSE TRAINING: He is doing well when taken out on a regular schedule. He is a baby so he'll need a consistent schedule with multiple opportunities daily to go outside while he works on it. Puppies should not be considered reliable in regard to housetraining until 6-12 months of age. They're a lot like toddlers, who require diapers! CRATE TRAINING: Good, he's young and trainable! OTHER DOGS: Good! He will need continued socialization, like all puppies! CATS: Good! Continued socialization will be important! CHILDREN: Dog-respectful children, 8 and older ADOPTION DONATION: $600.00    HEALTH: Evan came to us in rough shape. He was severely underweight from starvation and had a broken left front leg with puncture wounds. Fortunately, while with us, his leg healed and did not require amputation! Dogs with broken bones will have arthritis in that area as they age, so they should be on a joint diet now that includes omega oils as well as glucosamine/chondroitin. Prior to adoption, puppies will be altered, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed. Puppies are given vaccination boosters in our care; however, adoptive families will be responsible for the remaining vaccinations that puppies need. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs.  HISTORY: Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find him a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do! NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME: Evan is a puppy so he's playful and has a lot of puppy energy! He is super cute and fun, but a lot of work. His forever family should be committed to lots of training - obedience, housetraining, and socialization. This will ensure that he grows into a confident, well behaved adult! Puppies' personalities are dependent on their environment, and the structure and training they are given, in addition to socialization. Their personalities continue to grow and be shaped by their new adoptive families. Puppy daycare and socialization classes or puppy kindergarten are highly recommended for their personal development. He will more than reward you for all your hard work with lots of love, loyalty, and laughs.   Evan is a loving boy who is learning manners. He greets all things exuberantly. People. Dogs. Everything. He loves to nibble on you when he's happy, almost like reciprocating pets. He is a sensitive little guy and does not always understand why other dogs may not like his over-enthusiastic greetings. He is learning not to jump and settle. While he is a little bit of a wild and crazy guy, he DOES snuggle. A lap is an invitation for him to crawl in. He loves to be with you and will actually lie next to you quietly while you work or watch TV... once he gets his zoomies out. Despite his rough beginning, this boy is full of love and happiness. Every day is a new day for him and he looks forward to it with arms wide open. He ready to seize the day and see what adventures await him. If you're looking for someone who is seriously optimistic, he's that kind of dog!    All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and either a Martingale collar or a harness, depending on each dog's particular needs.   Welcome to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue.

Meet this cutie pie, Yumin! When Adogs visited Korean City Shelter, Yumin cried loudly whenever the volunteers walked past him wanting to be noticed. They could not turn a blind eye to a desperately crying pup and rescued him. We are looking for a loving family for our angel Yumin. ❤️ * Potty training: Outdoor potty only. When he needs to go potty urgently, he signals by whimpering. * Doesn’t get over excited when visitors arrive but he does greet them. Asks for pets.☺ Let him smell hands first and then pet him so he can say hello without getting scared! * Gets interested in dog friends when walking by but gets scared if they are overexcited or barks. * Rarely barks! He only barked once timidly as if he was coughing😆 * Great on walks! He pulls a little but walks side by side when given a signal with his leash. If he doesn’t get to walk where he wants to go, he whines and looks like the Puss in Boots in Shrek. ❤️ * He tends to control his own eating, so he is slightly constipated, and because he defecates outdoors, he tends to choose his favorite poop-spot on walk. * Fearful of bath times but he complies. Dislikes trimming nails, but walking helps with filing his nails. Tolerates hair dryer well! * Great recall inside home 👍🏻 * Favorites: pets, brushing, naps 💛Lovely Yumin’s Foster Instagram👉 @yumin.diary

Meet Ttui 💕 He is a bright and very affectionate! He is very gentle and likes people, but he is a little wary at first. Once getting close to him by giving him plenty of time, he follows people around. 😍 When he first came to the Adogs Center, he didn’t mind other dogs sniffing him and received their greetings without any growling. He adapts well anywhere and is very easy going. 🥰 He gets excited at the beginning of his walk and needs training to not pull his leash. Holding your ground and saying “Sit” gets him to sit. 👍🏻❤️ His charms are his smiley face and pointy yellow ears💛 Apply for Ttui ! :)
