🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Two tiny dog divas are officially accepting applications for their forever humans. Meet Coco & Baby — the “No Cats, Please & Thank You” Committee. (Seriously. They saw a cat once and are still filing emotional paperwork.) 🚫🐱 👑 Coco – 8-year-old brown Chihuahua • House-trained and runs her home like a tiny CEO • Shy with dogs but warms up once she’s done the background check • LOVES kids and will absolutely adopt your children as her own • Treats Baby like her furry offspring 🌟 Baby – 6-year-old white Maltese • A fluffy lovebug who believes personal space is a myth • House-trained and proud of it • Barks at strangers, then immediately becomes their best friend • Family-friendly, cat-unfriendly (she insists this is a personality trait) 🍽️ Dietary Notes: Grandma used to serve ground beef like a Michelin-star chef, so yes…. they are picky eaters and currently interviewing new kibble options. 😅. They both weigh about 13 lbs, but are looking forward to getting back in shape. 💞 The Bond: These two are basically a married couple. They do everything together. They demand 24/7 companionship. We’re gently teaching them independence, but it’s like explaining WiFi to a potato. 🏡 Seeking: A patient, loving, cat-free home where these pint-sized comedians can thrive. They promise endless love, loyalty, and entertainment. Could you be the human of their dreams? 💕 #AdoptCocoAndBaby #BondedPair #RescueDogs #SmallDogDrama #NoCatsAllowed Apply at www.DMDR.org/adopt

Story

Meet Madero! He is an adorable lap sized Maltese and Poodle mix around 7 months old. He is friendly and playful, eager to learn his manners and make new friends. Madero sleeps in his crate at night and is housetrained in his current foster home. Madero can be a little shy at first but once he warms up, he's the best cuddle buddy. He would prefer a home where his humans either work from home or are home more often than not. Madero is looking for a family that understands the time, patience, and energy needed to raise a young pup. Additionally, this cutie is going to need proper exercise, mental stimulation, and your attention and love to grow up to be the best companion. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Madero then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org.

Story

Hello New Friends, My name is Beloved and Blissful Bohdi — and I’m a gentle, handsome bichon boy of five years, weighing 19 pounds who has soulful brown eyes and a nose my foster mom says is “designed specifically for kisses.” (I think she might be right). If you’re wondering what kind of pup I am, let me tell you my story. Recently I found myself starting a brand-new chapter as a FurKid. I lost my mom, my home and my doggy siblings and arrived at my foster home: polite, quiet boy who wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I quickly learned that life inside a loving home is full of soft beds, kind hands, and tummy rubs (oh yes, the tummy rubs!). Within days I began to show my true self: a gentle soul who leans in for affection, rolls over for belly scratches, and melts into your hand when you pet the top of my head. I close my eyes and nearly drift off every time. My Foster says that’s “the cutest thing she’s ever seen.” I’m also a happy, lively pup when the great outdoors calls! I love going on walks, especially when we meet wildlife trotting across our path. Squirrels, birds, anything with feathers or fur — I perk right up and say, “Ooh! A friend!” At the park I run, jump, and play with the other dogs. I’m still learning that after you chase a toy, you’re supposed to actually bring it back. I’m working on that (I promise). As for other pups, I’m definitely the “easygoing little brother” type. I’ll curl up back-to-back with my foster siblings, share space like a gentleman, and happily join in when everyone crowds around for pets and treats. Sometimes I check what the others got for dinner, because… well… what if they received something even better? I’m still perfecting the art of “eat your dinner first, Bohdi,” but I’m enthusiastic about the lesson. I adore grown-ups, too, and I’m wonderful with children. On a recent walk, I met two young neighbors—ages four and eight—and politely let them pet me with no hesitation. I’m also a terrific car-ride companion: on my 45-minute trip to my foster home I alternated between looking out the window like a proper explorer and curling up for a restful snooze. I was “a perfect gentleman.” House manners? I do very well — especially with a doggie door. I’m great on the leash, too. I think I know how to heel, because I often glance back to check in with my Mom. Sitting is a work in progress. When you ask, I sometimes melt gently to the floor instead. It’s not that I’m being disobedient… it’s more like shyness mixed with charm. At night I hop up on the bed for snuggles, then quietly choose a dog bed of my own nearby. I’m calm and rarely bark (unless my foster siblings rally to protect the house) then, of course, I contribute one polite “woof!” to the cause. I’m an active boy who enjoys good walks (and time outdoors), but also wonderfully content with naps and companionship. I’m healthy, easygoing, affectionate, gentle, and ready to give my whole heart to the person or family who loves me. Whether you scoop me up in your arms, pull me close on the couch, or stroke the top of my head while I drift toward dreamland, I’ll show you every day just how grateful and loving a little dog can be. My Ideal Home Should Have: • A family or adult(s) who enjoy affection and togetherness • Another kind, playful dog in my home • Humans who appreciate a gentle, loving companion • Regular walks and time outside (I do love an adventure!) Experience Level: • Someone with dog experience • A home where kindness and routine are the norm If you’re looking for a loving, tenderhearted companion who wants nothing more than to be close, be cherished, and share life’s simple joys, I’m applying to be your new best friend. Please ask for me by name. Tail wags, snuggles, and love, Beloved, Blissful and Blessed Bohdi

Story

Hello World! I’m Endearing and Energetic Emmie, and if cuteness were a sport, I’d be a pro. I’m a sweet and wiggly little fluff who’s ‘about’ one year old (or maybe a bit younger!) and I currently tip the scales at just over 10 pounds — and I’m filling out nicely now that I know where my meals are coming from. Everyone says I’m the dog-ification of cute… and honestly, have you seen my face? I’m full of joyful puppy energy and bounce through life like I’m weightless. When I wag my tail, my whole body wiggles along with it! I love to run and zoom across the yard, leap like a tiny gazelle, and race through the house with my foster sister. Toys are amazing, zoomies are mandatory, and playtime is one of my favorite things ever. After all that fun, I transition into the world’s sweetest cuddle bug. I’ll curl right up in your lap and fall fast asleep. (You can almost feel me relaxing as I realize I’m safe, loved, and part of a pack.) I’m extremely affectionate with my people and I love being close — kisses included. I get along beautifully with the dogs in my foster home. I play with the younger pup and politely leave the seniors alone, although I have started playing tug-of-war with my older foster sister as she is open to that kind of play. (She’s a FurKid alum, too). I warm up quickly to visitors and make friends quickly, once I know they’re part of my people. I’m still learning about the big world outside. Walks can still be a little overwhelming and I may bark at dogs I don’t know yet, but my foster family is helping me learn with patience, treats, and encouragement — and I’m already making progress. I’m smart, eager, and trying my very best. Since I’m still a baby at heart, I’m also learning about housetraining and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I didn’t get much training previously but I’m catching on quickly --and will thrive with someone who is kind, consistent, and committed to helping me learn. One thing you should know about me most of all: I really LOVE my people. A lot. I don’t like being alone yet and can become anxious when my family leaves, so I’ll do best with someone who’s home most of the time and understands that I need reassurances as I become more confident. My Ideal Home: Someone home most of the time A patient, loving adopter who understands puppies and puppy energy A young, playful dog is required A family ready for an active, affectionate, very wiggly girl Experience Level: Dog experience preferred Willingness to continue training and socialization I’m a soft, sweet, playful little soul who wants nothing more than to belong — especially to a couple or family who will guide me as I grow. With love, structure, and and more experience, I’m going to be the most amazing FurKid. It’s what I was born to be! So If you’re ready for puppy joy, lap naps, zoomies, and endless affection, please fill out an adoption application and ask for me. I’ll be waiting… with wiggles, kisses, and my whole heart 💕 Love and tail wags, Endearing, Energetic and Exquisite Emmie
