Omar2( nicknamed Tugboat or Tuggy by his foster parents) is a delightful low activity boy with the sweetest, most mellow disposition ever imaginable. There is not another dog that he does not love and he adores all humans including children. He does a mean flop'n'roll to get his belly rubbed and will lean into you to absorb as much contact and attention as he can get. He is completely housebroken and trustworthy in the house. He is not much of a barker - just a single "ruff" to let us know if he wants to come back in the house or if he thinks we might forget him at dog dinner time.
Tuggy was found to have significant health issues after coming to DLRR. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy for the last 6 months. He is now in full remission. He lives life in the moment and enjoys everyday. He enjoys a short and gentle stroll - he has an old knee injury that slows him down. So limited steps and no stairs are necessary.
Tuggy is a very special dog and will only be adopted to the right special family. We want him to enjoy as much time as possible and so he will need a home where somebody is with him most of the time. If you are retired or work from home, that would be a great match. He would be a great companion to another older dog that perhaps has lost their buddy recently.

Harley is a sweet, 6 year old, purebred, yellow lab.  Harley is housebroken and great loose in the house. Harley's previous owner reported that she is very afraid during storms. We have not had any storms since her intake so we have not had opportunity to see her react.  When Harley was younger she suffered ruptured cruciate ligaments in both rear legs which were not treated/repaired. As a result she has severe degenerative arthritis in both legs . She has to take medication to help with the pain.   When first coming to her foster home Harley had trouble walking at all and could not get comfortable when laying down. After her injuries Harley had gained alot of weight causing the problem to be worse. After being in her foster home she has lost the weight she needed and is able to go on walks now. She is on a strict perscription diet through the veterinarian that she will have to stay on. Harley gets along well with dogs, cats and  children.  Harley will only be able to go to a home where her medical, physical and diet needs can and will be taken care of.

Hi my name is Blue. I am a little guy but don't let that fool you, you know what they say, big things come in small packages. I know how to sit, I will shake your hand and if you have a treat, I can even speak. I need to learn how to walk on a leash, I love
to run and heard people say I have a lot of spirit. DLRR rescued me from the pound so I am still getting to know everyone. If you are looking for a guy that has a zest for life, loves to give kisses and are willing to do some training, I am the kid for you!

Peyton is a Male, Chocolate, 8 year old, housebroken, uses the doggie door well, gets along well with other dogs, unsure about cats.  Very well mannered, takes commands well.  Does well in the house unsupervised.  Not necessary to be with another dog.  Tall, lean, energetic.  Loves to play fetch with tennis ball in pool and out. Will stop when asked.  Loves walks, endless energy to go, but will lie down in the house when you do and be a couch potato.  You would never guess this dog is 8.  Loves his marrow bone treats. Very smart.  Will not go into the pool without your permission.  Owner said he didn't ride well in car and had to take medication; however, he rode well with us on the dog bed with his head in between lying down.  Will try another car ride to see if there is a difference.  Happy to see other dogs on walks and all people, especially kids.  Would make a great hiking trail partner.  Great all around loving, sweet dog with no issues.
 
4/30 - Update - Peyton does have car anxiety.  He whines and turns in circles trying to crawl into your lap.  We've been working on short trips around the block with treats for when he lies down quietly and following it up with pool time when we get back.  He is slowly making progress.  Very intelligent, well trained dog.  High strung like a hunting dog with that type of energy and focus.

Niko is a 6.5 year old Yellow Male Lab and weighs 82#.  He is an owner turn in.  He is good with other dog as long as they do not get in his face and growl.  His favorite thing is to be with pople of all ages.  He enjoys swimming, retrieving and going for walks.  He is house trained, uses the doggy door and is ok left alone in the house.  If Niko sounds like he would fit in your home, call his foster.
