Daisy and Duke
*Bonded Pair Available*

Must Know:

  • Daisy & Duke, bonded sister & brother, both 7 years old, yellow & red, 73 lbs each

  • Dog Friendly

  • Cats unknown

  • Fenced yard required; no electric/invisible fencing

  • Kids 8+

  • 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.

Harley
*Available*

Must Know:

  • Harley, 1-2 year old male, 58 lbs

  • Dog Friendly

  • Cats unknown

  • Kids 8+

  • Medium energy

  • Treating for ear infection - will finish course on 3/30

Meet Harley

Harley was born to be a sidekick. He loves other dogs – all shapes and sizes, and will be a great best-dog for your dog(s), and you! He is polite and playful when meeting new dog pals and will want some space to romp around, chase and tug with his buddies. He’ll be your trusty shadow, just wanting to be wherever you are.

Harley is a sweet, easy-going, love- bug who wants as much affection as you can give. He’ll be happy doing anything as long as it’s with his family. Harley is medium energy and needs a minimum of an hour walk a day and as much outside time as he can get to run around. He wakes up jumpy and excited in the mornings, and in the evenings he’ll entertain himself with some toy-time. He sometimes takes a minute to settle down, but once he’s relaxed, he’ll lay and chill on the couch with you for a nice nap. He’ll nap in his crate with all 4 paws in the air and loves a good chin scratch or ear massage.

Harley is good on his leash with a slight pull here and there but no excessive pulling or reactivity. He’ll walk with a harness, or martingale. He’s working on commands like “sit”, “touch”, “drop it”, and “leave it” and will learn best with food/treats, like a kong with frozen treats, or cheese, as rewards. He is crate trained and will let you know when he needs to go out. Harley has learned to jump right in the car and is ready for an adventure. He doesn’t always love a bath, but will be easily distracted with peanut butter on the wall while you wash.

He currently enjoys his play time in 6FT fenced in yard and will do best in a house with space to roam and less noise than an apartment or condo.

Gus
*Available*

Must Know:

  • Gus, 1 year old, male

  • Dog friendly - required to have a buddy

  • Cat friendly

  • Kid friendly, 8+

  • Medium energy

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.
