Coco's Happy Tail

Hi, my name is Coco, and I am a 4 year old chocolate lab female.  I was an owner surrender with my sister Marci. We came from a shelter in Utah. We have a lot of love left , and our Rescue Angel Kimberly saw this. Together with HART, they were able to make sure that LVLR was notified and arrangements were made for Marci and I to go into foster homes in Nevada.

I loved my foster home with Dennis and Juanilla. I made it hard for them to give me up. I am a good girl, and this paid off because a fabulous trainer named Matt  from Sit Means Sit saw my potential. I got to go by airplane to Detroit to be with my new owner and establish my forever home.

I was taken to the airport by Dave and Denise, another fabulous foster family with LVLR. Here I am at the airport in LV NV awaiting my flight to Detroit.



And here I am on the other end of the flight with my new owner Matt.



I am home,

Love,
Coco

Marci's Happy Tail

Hi,
My name is Marci, and I am a 7 year old black female Labrador. I was an owner surrender along with my "sister" Coco to a shelter in Utah that has a reputation of euthanizing a lot of dogs. I am not sure what this word means, but it can't be good. Our foster Angel Kimberly and HART helped get us out of the shelter and organized our transportation to Nevada and LVLR.

I will be going to stay with Melissa, my foster mom. She has her own Labrador Dakota, so I will have someone to play with. This way I won't be sad that Coco and I will be in separate foster homes and being adopted separately.

My foster Mom says that I love to snuggle and be close to her. This may be because I have missed having human contact. She has also introduced me to her cats and helped me to learn how to walk on a harness.

It was not long before I was adopted by Frank. I am so happy to have a forever home.



I am home,

Marci

Andy's Happy Tail

Hi,

My name is Andy and I am a 2 year old yellow Labrador. I am from a shelter in Utah. I am not sure how I ended up there because I have been told I am extremely loving and friendly. I love to play with other dogs and kids, and even some cats. I know many commands and I am both house trained and crate trained.

I know all this information because Dave and Denise my foster parents have made a list of my positive characteristics so that they can find me a happy home.

They also told me that I am a little overweight, ( 105 lbs) so they are monitoring what I eat and making sure I get plenty of exercise. This is not difficult since they have 4 dogs of their own for me to play with.

It was not long before Dave and Denise took me to meet Bill and his family. I have found my forever home and I am very happy there. You can tell by the picture below, I am fitting right in!



I am home,

Andy

Murphy's Happy Tail (formerly Frankie)

Hi,
My name is Frankie. I was an owner surrender. I am not sure about my history. Why was I given up ? But I do know that it was not my fault. I am a lovable dog, and I know this because I hardly got into the LVLR before a foster family adopted me. Ann and Shane were looking for a Labrador to make their family complete, and they chose me!

They were so happy to have me, and I was so happy to be with them.

I am home,


Murphy

Sunday's Happy Tail

Hi,
My name is Sunday and I am a yellow Labrador female about 2 years old. I am yet another case of owner surrender. My owner loved us ( I had a Great Dane companion too), but he had lost our home because of something called a "poor economy" and could not keep us in their apartment because when I was left alone I howled. The neighbors did not enjoy my howling. My owner tried to keep us in the backyard of a foreclosed home until he could make other plans, but we got out and animal control picked us up. It was a very stressful time for me.

My owner asked a friend to help him re-home us, so  LVLR was contacted. I was picked up and taken to a vet to make sure I was healthy, and then I was picked up by my new foster family. I liked my foster home. I had a "foster sister" named Bella to play with. We played 22 hours out of the day. I get along with all dogs and guinea pigs too! I am very well behaved.

I was in foster care for only 1 week before I was adopted by Suzanne and Bob. They love Labradors and they already had 2 dogs at home so they knew how to care for me. My siblings are Chardonnay and Shasta. We play in the house and yard constantly.

I heard my owner say that she is going to teach me how to be a therapy dog. I look forward to visiting patients at the Nathan Adelson Hospice. This picture was taken to celebrate The New Year 2012. I am in the middle, Chardonnay on left and Shasta on right.



I am home,


Love,
Sunday

Jack's Happy Tail

Hi,
My name is Jack and I am from Idaho. I am 7 months old, and have spent all of those 7 months in an Idaho shelter. I don't remember how I got there, or why my family did not want me. I just know I have potential to be a very good dog. I like to wiggle and wag my tail, I think this will help me to get adopted.

I think 7 months is long enough to spend in a shelter, and my tail wagging paid off, because a Rescue Angel at the shelter notified LVLR that I needed a home.

It took awhile for LVLR to organize my ride to Nevada from Idaho, but as soon as this was done, I was on my way. I was not in foster care very long before I received my wish, my very own family. I was adopted by Christine and her family. Now I am in a wonderful home and I even have a dog of my own to play with. No more shelter life for me!



I am home,

Jack

Asha's Happy Tail

My name is Asha, and I am a 3 month old black female labrador mix. I came to LVLR because my owner did not have the time to help me learn how I should behave. I am a puppy, so if not given guidance. I can get into a little bit of trouble. I don't always know the difference between a leather shoe and a rawhide bone, they sure smell the same and these puppy teeth of mine are kind of achy. I want to chew on something!

A Rescue Angel named Laura heard about me, and helped me to find my way to LVLR. I got to stay in the home of Dennis and Juanilla. They were great with me. I received plenty of hugs and kisses and I had fellow doggies to play with. I learned the difference between shoes and bones and they helped me to learn basic commands.

I got to attend adoption events and soon I was discovered by my new parent, Jenel. I am happy that someone was able to see my potential as a companion and now I am on my way to my forever home.

Thanks LVLR for helping me to get home,

Love,
Asha
