Story

🚨 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. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt.
