Sadie's Happy Tail (Formerly Honey)

Photobucket
Hi, My name is Honey,
I am an owner surrender to LVLR. My previous owners were not prepared for the amount of energy it would take to keep up with my playfulness. They did not have the time necessary to teach me basic commands, but I am willing to learn. I love to be the center of attention as my foster parents Rick and Renee are learning. They are also learning that I am quite strong for my age. I am 1 1/2 years old.

My foster parents took me to an adoption event at Wholefoods where I met my soon to be forever family.
I showed them how well I got along with children and how willing I was to learn. And, so here I am, a part of their family!

I am home,
Love
Sadie (Formerly Honey)

I love to run around my new backyard!

Emilee's Happy Tail

Photobucket

Hi, My name is Emilee, and I am a 2 year old chocolate labrador. I came from a shelter in Utah. I was so excited to get to LVLR and be fostered by Mike and Clay. I got to spend time with their dogs Oliver, Barclay and Tucker. It was one big party that ended to quickly, but the great thing is, I found a forever home!

Stay tuned for pictures of my great home!

Love,
Emilee

Cooper's Happy Tail (Formerly Kodi)

Photobucket

Hi, My Name is Kodi,
I was an owner surrender to LVLR. My former family was not prepared to take care of a puppy with my energy level. They did not have the time to dedicate to making me an excellent canine companion. So, I found myself at the Heck Foster Home! Denise and Dave welcomed me into their family unconditionally. They have 4 dogs of their own, but they did not mind letting me bunk with them, and I even got to travel to work with Dave.

It was not long before I was taken to a home visit with a wonderful family.

Now, I am home,

Love Cooper (Formerly Kodi)

Sheffield's Happy Tail (Formerly Jerry)

Hey, My name is Sheffield (formerly Jerry)
And boy do I have a happy tail to tell. I was a shelter dog from UT, like so many dogs before me.
I was transported to NV where I became a LVLR doggie. I was fostered by Joe, and this is where the story gets great. Joe saw my awesome potential and decided I should remain with his family.

As you can see, it was a perfect fit!

Update on Sheffield

Untitled


Sheffield (formerly Jerry), fit in immediately with our existing pack. I bonded with him from the moment I took him in as a foster for LVLR. It is still hard to believe that he was said to be aggressive toward other dogs during his 3 month stay at a Utah shelter. Sheffield is my best trained Lab in the pack. His basic obedience skills are second to none. For his hobby he loves to do fun nose work and occasionally dabbles in Narcotic detection. I take him almost everywhere I go, people often refer to him as my shadow:) Thanks to LVLR for not giving up on my shadow, like many rescues before him, it would've been tragic had he not been pulled by a great organization. Thanks again LVLR for saving my Shadow!!



Wayco's Happy Tail (Formerly Luke)

Photobucket

Hi, My name is Luke, and I am a 1 year old chocolate Labrador mix. Some believe that I am part Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and that is where I might be getting my striking good looks.
 I was rescued from another shelter in UT, and am so happy to be in the care of LVLR and the loving foster home of Melissa.
As you can see from my pictures, I am certainly a puppy, with all the fun qualities. I love to play and run, and I am so happy that I found a forever home. Stay tuned for more on my home soon!

I am home,

Luke

Kaze's Happy Tail (Formerly Ben)

Photobucket

Hi! My name is Ben, and I am a 2 year old labrador from a shelter in UT. I spent some of my time in a shared space with my BFF Zoey. She made the trip to NV with me to become an LVLR rescue dog.
Once I arrived in NV, I was sent to the LVLR vet for a check-up, then I got to stay with my foster dad, Bradford. I was in foster care for 2 weeks before I found my forever home.

My new family thought the name Kaze was more fitting, which is Japanese for "the wind".

Stay tuned for pictures and more details about my happy home!


I am home,

Kaze

Otis's Happy Tail (Formerly Mazy)

Photobucket

Hi, My name is Mazy, or at least it was when I arrived into the rescue. My new name is Otis, and I have a great new home. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Let's start by saying I am a record breaker! I came into the rescue and was adopted out in 3 days! I got to spend time with veteran dog fosters Dave and Denise and their 4 dogs. But I am happy now to have my own home, and a new name!

Here I am with my new family. I am on the left.

I am home,

Otis

July 2012 Update on Otis

UPDATE on Otis (Mazy) from his forever home. Marc and I wanted to send an update on Otis now that he has been with us for 3 months. As you can see by his picture, he has reached a healthy weight. He was having soft stool off and on, and was diagnosed with a bad giardia infection, but after treatment he is healthy and happy. He loves going to the lake and to the dog park, and watching television. We're so happy he is part of our family!
