Low energy
Meet Daisy & Duke
Everyone wants to cuddle with loved ones for Valentine’s Day! Meet Daisy & Duke, both 73-lb cuddle-bugs. These two 7 yr old labs are a bonded pair who would love to bond with you, too! They are looking for a home with a fenced-in yard. Low energy, Daisy & Duke enjoy following you around the house & then settling down near you.
Daisy & Duke are house trained & don’t counter-surf or trash-dive; they are trustworthy at home for several hours (without crating). They get their exercise in a fenced-in yard. Daisy is starting to do short walks on a leash, while Duke is being trained to overcome some anxiety about a harness or leash. They don’t know any commands yet, but both are eager to come to you just because they like your company!
Duke likes to cuddle up next to you in your bed, while Daisy sleeps – and snores! – in her own bed on the floor. Daisy nuzzles up to you and puts her head in your lap; she gives mini-kisses, too. These two lovebugs will be a pleasure to have in your home,
MEDICAL INFO:
These dogs have some arthritis in their hips & back legs. Both are on Gabapentin & Carprofen. Duke is also on Clopamine for anxiety as well as Adequan & Phycox for his joints. Daisy’s arthritis keeps her from going up a full flight of steps, though she manages 3 steps to/from the yard. Duke needs knee surgery for a luxating patella. Even if he is home with you, LRGR will pay for the surgery at LRGR's vet in Richmond with our orthopedic surgeon, but be aware that he’ll need 6-8 weeks for recovery.
Hope you can open your heart during this season of love and bring these snuggle-bugs home.
As you are looking at the photos, Daisy is yellow-white, with more prominent ears, and Duke is a little darker, more of a red-yellow lab.

Meet Gus
Hiya friends, my name is Gus. I am a playful one year old dog’s dog and I really love to play with other four legged friends! Playing chase and wrestling with my K-9 buddies is the highlight of my day. I can be a little nervous in new situations and need just a little time to warm up. I will try my very best if you give me lots of encouragement. I am more confident when I’m with my buddies. A quick “you got this, Gus!” is the key to my heart. I am so excited to meet my forever family so they can teach me everything I need to know.
I am very dog friendly and submissive - I really enjoy their companionship. My new house is required to have a pup friend for me so I can gain lots of confidence! I also am cat friendly - I am the most loving guy once I settle in. When meeting new people I can be a little timid but I have been told, I am a gentleman!
I have been learning a lot with my foster family and have almost mastered “sit!” I am food motivated; this is good because it will help me during training. As the resident good boy, I have been described as submissive, loveable, and playful. I love to be around my people, go for adventure walks, play with toys and other pup friends.

Meet Quincy
Looking for an affectionate companion at home? Pick me! My name is Quincy; I am an easygoing 2.5 year old boy who would love to keep you company.
If you already have another dog at home, I’d be friendly with him/her/ Or if it will just be me, I’ll be your best companion, hanging out at your feet, coming when you call my name, and being easy to walk around our neighborhood.
I absolutely love being at home with you, but I get anxious when you leave, so you need to give me some Trazodone to help me with that. And I’m really scared of that crate-thing, so that’s not a good option for me right now. But I sleep well next to your bed at night.
I’m an excellent communicator. If I need to go out, I’ll stand at the door and then bark if you don’t notice. If I need some exercise, I’ll let you know by getting all wiggly, though, like a teenager, I might also get a little mouthy with you.
I adore neighborhood walks together! I love to meet our neighbors and I’ll be friendly with other dogs, too. If neighbors come to our house to visit, I can get really excited and jump up, but then I’ll settle down when you tell me to.
I know how to sit when you tell me, especially if you are holding a magical treat because I am very food-motivated. My foster mom says I am a “surfer” because if you leave food where I can reach it, then I try to eat it. I like to play with lick mats and food-stuffed toys.
So if you work from home and want a loyal friend to be with you, pick me! Or if you are retired and want a lovebug at home, pick me! If you like to get outside to take little walks with a friend, pick me! We can be best friends fur-ever!
