Hello everyone, my name is Dekoy or affectionately called “Buddy” or “Big Guy”.  I am a black lab and black & tan coonhound mix.  Everyone that has seen me, says I am very handsome.  Along with my good looks, I behave pretty well too.  I walk well on the leash as well.

I would love to be someone’s walking or running buddy.  Don’t let my age fool you.  I am almost 6 but have energy like a 2 year old.  I am housebroken and crate trained.  My new foster family has taught me to sit & wait for my food.  I have two 4 legged foster sisters that I get along with.  We can all sit together & get our treats.  I think my foster mom just likes having our tails go across the floor, to do her sweeping. LOL!

I stay in the crate during the day.  I have just been promoted to sleeping at night on the dog bed in my foster parent’s room.  I have been very good about sleeping all night.  Well thanks for checking me out.  If you are looking for someone to give lots of labby kisses to, throw the ball and go for walks, well I’m your guy. 

Love,
Dekoy

Hi Rex here,
I’m a 2 year old yellow/red (fox red) lab that came to LEARN as a stray, which I did not like being alone at all, so I am very grateful that I have a foster home to stay with.  I have 2 foster brothers and 2 foster cats that I live with; I get along with them all.  I am housebroken and allowed to have the run of the house because I am so good.  I walk nice on the leash and love going for car rides; in fact, you can just drive me around all day and I will be very happy.  I know my basic commands and listen very well.  My foster mom doesn’t understand how I became a stray because I am so good.  I love men, women, and children and more than anything I just want a family of my own. 

How about making me your Valentine?

Hi Perspective Labby lovers!   I would be Grover (Or as my Foster dad calls me Wiggles),  this is probably due to the fact that my rear end never stops waggin’ and it looks like I am wigglin’ but darn it,  I just love people!!  I am a real sweetheart of a Labby just waiting for my forever home, and I am 8 years young.  I think I have managed to steal the hearts of of my foster parents. I have settled in as a family member since I came to live in my foster digs. I am fully potty trained, and even signal my foster mom and dad every time I need to use the facilities.

I eat well, and my foster dad says he has never seen a Labby that does not live for eating like I do. I eat all my breakfasts and dinners, I do not require much.  I am in great shape and have lots of muscle.  One nice thing is I do not use that muscle to be the ”bull in a china shop”, I mind my manners very well.  I am not a counter surfer and I do not get into the garbage, which has really impressed the foster rents. This past weekend my 76 year old foster gramma came to stay with me and she took me for walks and said I was a such good dog because I did not pull on the leash when I was being walked.  Normally my foster parents let me outside (off leash I might add) and I stay right close and I have no desire to stray away. They keep telling people how trust worthy I am, why not, I know where I have it good!!!  (This Labby didn’t fall off the turnip truck after all)

I am a very devoted labby, I adjusted very well to my surroundings and when it is time to settle down, I am all about it. My foster parents sit down for a night of relaxing and I willing to do the same. I am a real cuddler for sure. Please give me a good hard look, I am probably the labby that would make your house a real home.

Thanks for giving me a read……Grover (aka Wiggles)

Tanner is a sweet, fun loving big boy looking to be loved! For a 9 month pup, who was an outside dog, he settles in very well at home. Tanner has good recall and knows very basic commands. He seems eager to learn and please and doing well on learning household rules. Tanner is good with kids, cats and other dogs with possibly a touch of Golden Retriever in him.

Hello Labbie Lovers!!

My name is Checkers (yeah, you read right) and I am a 3 year old black lab who is looking for my forever home. I came into LEARN when my family was moving and could not take me along. So now I am in this thing called, “foster care” and living life because I have a foster brother and sister to play with me!!

I have a blocky-like head that the vet’s office says, “looks great”…I guess that means I look handsome. I am kennel and potty trained and walk great on a leash. I don’t bother the cats at all and love going in my kennel to relax…in fact I am in my kennel now while I am typing this bio. I am looking for a home that will appreciate me and all my quirkiness. Hold on because I have to go outside and do my business (editor’s note…while Checkers was outside, his foster dad wrote this…”Checkers loves to jump up on the kitchen counter and table to grab anything he can. He also likes to relocate shoes. He does not chew on them; just move them around the house.”)

Okay…I am back J let’s see…anything else about me??? I do like to carry around toys in my mouth and de-stuff them to get to the squeaker. They are so much fun to play with!! I am on the skinny side right now, but my foster parents are working hard to put some weight on me…extra treats and more food is my current diet.

If you would like to know more about me, please give LEARN a call. I have to see what new things I can get into!!

Sincerely,
Checkers

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cooper or Mini Coop as my foster mom calls me.  I’m an approximately 8 month old lab mix that was picked up as a stray and saved by LEARN because my time was up at the shelter. 

My foster mom says I’m very sweet and a quick learner.  She’s always giving me kisses and telling me what a good boy I am.  I’m house-broken, crate trained, know some commands like sit, but I am learning how to walk correctly on a leash. 

I’m staying with 2 dogs and 2 cats and get along with all of them. I love playing tug and wrestling with my foster brothers, we also like to play chase – that’s when one of us is it and other dog chases us around the house trying to catch us. I’m very fast and hardly ever get caught. Foster mom gets mad at us sometimes because we make too much noise when we wrestle, but we give her that look and she starts laughing and lets us continue playing.

I would really like to have a home of my own, a family to love, play with, and teach me new things. Oh, I forgot to tell you I help with the laundry – I pick up any clothes that are left on the floor and run around the house with them so you know someone didn’t clean up after themselves. They learned real quick to pick up things they don’t want me to get.

If you think I would make a great member to your family please contact LEARN and let them know you’re interested in me Coop.

Howdy everyone….Jake here.  I’m a LEARN return because my family’s living conditions changed and they had to surrender me back to LEARN. 

I’m 10 years old but think and act like I’m about 5 or 6.  I’m in great shape and quite handsome as you can see by my pictures.  I’m on the smaller side (about 60 pounds) and not hyper at all.   I love to play around with my foster brother so a home with another furry child would be great.  I’m a really nice guy who gets along with everyone, adults, kids, dogs, cats.  

I like to fetch and walk around with tennis balls in my mouth.  Give me a belly rub and I’m as happy as can be.  I’ll give you a signal by barking if I have to go out because I will not do it in the house.  I like walks and love to ride in the car.  I would fit in good with a family that isn’t real active or with a senior citizen.  So, if you’re looking for an older gentleman, you can stop right here because I’m your guy.

UPDATE!
HI Everyone

Kramer here…I wanted to let everyone know-I went to my foster parents Dad & Moms place for ThanksGiving, there were a ton of people there, and they were all so happy to meet me! I was even given a bag of HUGE doggie biscuits by my foster mom’s Aunt who thought I was pretty handsome! I am settling in to at my foster parents house, and kinda’ coming out of my shell. I am learning that isn’t always necessary to bark for . My Foster Dad takes me on morning walks and I am learning all those strange things blowing across the road and fields are ok…I am going out in the fenced yard by myself (mom is always watching), that was a huge task-but accomplished-the dogs in the house have helped. If I do get startled though, I fall into a lump of mushy puppy, my confidence isn’t that great sometimes, but I don’t have a mean bone in my body – my mom says its ok.  The kids in the house are always messing around and it doesn’t bother me in the least. And when Mom is making food I don’t even bother her, like my foster brother & sister do. I am getting better with the toys, and I am starting to play more with them, but I think Mom’s gonna’ classify me as a great couch buddy, I would just love too hang with my new family.

Hi Everyone

Kramer here, just wanted to introduce myself. My foster parents say I am about 2-3 years old, handsome yellow male with beautiful brown eye’s, I was a stray and was in one of those shelters for awhile before LEARN came to rescue me.

I am a big boy, abit skinny at the moment, but my foster Mom is feeding me 2 times a day to get my body looking fine. My foster Mom says I am a snuggle bug, and I could do that ALL day long. I dont know to much about those funny sqeeky things and those things they call tennis balls-I dont remember ever seeing them before. Oh yes, they are called toys, I dont really know what to do with them. I might play with them for a short time, and my foster Mom laughs at me cause I am so goofy trying to figure out what to do. But really I don’t have much interest with them, I just want to be with my foster family.

I do like to take walks, all new too for me-but I  am getting to like it. I like the dogs in my foster home. There’s a couple teenagers in the house too, they’re cool. Ive learned how to use the doggie door all by myself, and I dont mind the crate, they put me in when they run out for a few hours. I might like to go to a obedience class to to learn a few things. Stop by and check for updates. But I am a hunk of a handsome Good boy!

UPDATE!
Hello everyone!

It has been 2 weeks since Jake started receiving treatment for heartworm. Yesterday he went back to the vet for a check-up and he continues to be getting better. The vet stated that he seems to have gotten through the worst of it, and just needs to stay quiet for a few more weeks. We are already beginning to see glimpses of a healthy and active Jake and look forward to seeing him in action when he is fully recovered!

He also has been working hard on his manners (sitting before the door opens, waiting for his food, recall, etc). He still has a bit to learn, but he is trying and continuing to make progress. Jake is an absolutely sweet dog. He does not jump or bark and is very affectionate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Jake. I am a 3 yr. lab and am a typical young lab. I have a little bit of training under my collar but would like to go to school to have better obedience skills. I am living with other dogs and cat and I love them all. I came from a family who had children. One of my favorite things to do is to get in bed in the morning with my foster Mom and snuggle.

I was surrendered to L.E.A.R.N. because I have heartworms. Because of this I will have to be in foster care for a couple of months. We had to search out a vet who has the medicine to treat the heart worms because there is a shortage of the drug used to treat them. I am going in for treatment on Monday so keep me in your thoughts. They actually shoot the medicine into my heart to kill the worms. Then I will not be allowed any exercise at all for several weeks to allow my body to absorb the dead worms. If I run around there is a chance that the worms can break loose and travel to my lungs causing possibly respiratory failure and death. Once I get past the treatments then I have to wait a few months to be neutered.

My foster Mom will send updates in a couple of weeks so you can follow my progress. Any help you can give to offset the costs of my medication would really be great and I will be sure to include you in my very own doggie list of thanks.

Lots of labbie kisses,

Jake

Cash is a 1 year old purebred lab who is big and handsome.  He loves swimming, walking, playing fetch, and car rides.  Cash gets along with everyone and other dogs.  He should be taken to obedience class because of his age he needs to work on his manners.  He has a very sweet and goofy personality that will make you laugh with some of his antics.

Cash also has hip dysplasia so he cannot jump off docks or jump for a Frisbee.  He was brought to several surgeon and they all agreed that surgery was not the best option at this time.  With proper nutrition and exercise he may never need surgery.  He has full mobility of his hips and is not in pain.  Due to his hip dysplasia he will need to be exercised everyday either by walks or swimming therapy and be kept on a grain free diet with supplements.  His mobility has increased greatly with daily exercise and he loves doing it.  Cash will give his forever family unconditional love and laughter for the rest of his life.
