Story

BoBo is ready for adoption! BoBo, a 1 1/2 year old, 10 lb male malti-poo is ready for his forever home. BoBo is a sweet, mellow boy that loves snuggling on a lap and follows his foster mom around the house. He hangs out while foster dad works, goes outside for potty breaks, and is staring to enjoy walks (we think it's the first time he's ever been on a walk). He doesn't play with toys yet, he's not sure what they are, but that will come (he has a fun, silly side that is just starting to show). BoBo seems like he was pretty neglected before ending up in a local shelter matted and dirty. BoBo is doing great on his house training, sleeps in his foster parent's bed all night with out a peep, and will make a lucky family a great loving companion. If you want to mellow dog to snuggle with, BoBo might be your guy! His adoption fee is $450 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story

My family adopted Fergie when in 2003 from a shelter. At that time, he was eight months old. Fergy and I are extremely close after 12 years together. This is a heartbreaking relocation, a family member needs medical care and so we need to go. We have exhausted, our family resources in trying to place him with someone he knows. In fact, a friend of the family just backed out of taking him. But he is a very sweet, cute, gentle, and trusting little guy. He wants to be with you even if he’s just sleeping nearby. He doesn’t run or play as much just because he’s old and his feet are tender, but he does take guided long walks and will want you to play with him with his toys, and give plenty of belly rubs! Fergy responds to gentleness and not harsh commands. He has cataracts in both eyes, but can see contrasts in light. He has a very sensitive stomach and has prescription nuggets. He also eats plain chicken, sometimes peas, and a little white rice.

Story

Bambi is an incredibly sweet and loving girl who adores all humans. She’s inquisitive but respectful with our house cat, and she walks beautifully on a leash. When other dogs get loud or overly curious, Bambi is easy to redirect and stays composed. She loves baths, cuddles, and brings the most mellow, chill vibes everywhere she goes. She’s also very quiet and rarely barks. Loud noises, including motorcycles, don’t faze her one bit. Overall, Bambi is a gentle, easygoing companion who fits right in wherever she goes.

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
