Loyal Order of Labs

Mocha

Mocha was adopted in 2008 at the age of 5. Flying in an airplane is old hat to Mocha because Dad pilots his own plane! He often flies rescued dogs and cats to their new homes. Mocha loves to fly, but when on the ground, has several hobbies. Riding in the truck is almost as much fun as being in the air. Exploring the neighborhood on walks with Dad is a favorite, as is napping on the couch. She loves toys – whatever is in her mouth at the moment is her favorite. She sometimes pulls the stuffing from her soft toys, but doesn’t eat it. She just places it neatly aside. At age 7, Mocha is in excellent health, despite a spider bite a year ago that caused some concern. (03/10)

Abby

Abby was adopted in 2008 at the age of 5. Abby just LOVES her Mommy! She wakes up on Mom and Dad’s bed every morning, and after a quick trip outside, enjoys a leisurely breakfast with her sister. Before Mom and Dad leave for the day, Abby plays outside. Which shall it be – the sofa or the couch for a nice relaxing nap? That’s a big decision that Abby makes each day. When Mom and Dad arrive home in the late afternoon, it’s back outside, then dinner. Evening means serious play time before turning in for the night … on the bed with Mom and Dad. A fitting end to another wonderful day for 7-year-old Abby. (02/10)

Luke

Luke was adopted in 2006 at the age of 4. Time for a nap? Or maybe a ride in the Durango? Or a swim? Luke, who is about 9 years old, likes all 3. It’s a tough choice for Luke, though swimming is more of a summer sport and napping is a winter one. Luke’s family, who adopted him in 2006, also fosters LRR Labbies, so he often has pals in the house to play with. He loves to cuddle with the grandchildren in the family and plays with a stuffed duck. And after all of that activity, Luke takes a nap on the bed! (01/10)

Bert

Bert is the “middle child” in a family of 3 LRR dogs. Adopted at age 9 months in 2003, Bert is in good health and takes his glucosamine every day. His days begin early, with a quick visit to the back yard to make sure all is well. After breakfast, he and his sister Ginger head back outside to run and play. They don’t bother brother Mac, who is very old and needs his rest. Bert loves car rides and a highlight of his afternoon is a trip to pick up Mom at the train station. Anyone for TV? Bert loves Animal Planet and looks for dogs and other animals in its programs. Grandchildren are part of Bert’s pack; when they visit, everyone gets extra treats! Bert has some advice for staying young: remain active, have fun catching balls, and relax with the family. (01/10)

Marcie

Marcie, a sweet, shy 9-year-old lab, started life as a puppy mill mom, without much of a future. LRR stepped in and soon, she was receiving the help she needed to shine! Marcie now happily polices her large yard for squirrels and other critters that she doesn’t feel belong there. Her main job is to make sure that she and her brother get their daily treats from their neighbors, who they have converted from non-dog people to neighbors who now do not miss a dog treat day even in bad weather! (01/10)

Madison

Do obedience classes and a Canine Good Citizen title mean perfect behavior? Well, 7-year-old Maddie doesn’t let it stand in the way of high spirited antics and fun! She helps Mom with caring for LRR fosters and romps in the yard with them and her 2 doggie sisters. Chasing a ball, exploring hidden places in the yard, going for a swim—all fun for Maddie and the gang! To preserve her energy level for all of this activity, Maddie loves to sleep in and snuggles with Mom. A recent diagnosis of mild hip dysplasia and a partially torn ligament hasn’t slowed this girl! (01/10)

Malibu

Eight-year-old Malibu loves nothing more than sleeping on a waterbed at his owner’s feet. But he’s not always that quiet. Malibu has screws and plates in his leg from surgery at age one, the result of a fall from a deck. His LRR foster mom walked around the yard carrying an umbrella to protect his cast from wet weather during his recovery. Now the proud possessor of a Canine Good Citizen title, Malibu has barely slowed from the lively boy he was at the time of his adoption, when he trimmed the flowers and leaves from bushes and ate vegetables from the garden. He’s actively involved in everything that happens in his house! (01/10)

Enzo

A daily ride in the car to take his kids to school is a big deal for 7-year-old Enzo. He recently lost a leg to cancer but, despite operating on 3 legs, he is a happy and energetic dog. He is the most popular “kid” at the school drop point. Upon returning home, Enzo spends some time in his back yard and dozes in the sun streaming through the window in his house, before picking up the kids at school in the afternoon. Enzo has a short evening walk before moving to his favorite spot in the middle of the bed. While physically a little slower than before surgery, Enzo’s spirit is very much intact. (01/10)

Duke

Duke really does live like, well, a duke! His health is excellent for an older gentleman. He is still very active, though a little less frisky than he once was, and has no significant health concerns. Duke’s day is filled with many visits to his back yard where he romps with his LRR brother Woody. When Dad is available, the boys retrieve balls or sticks. On nice days, there might even be a walk in a local park. Every other night, Duke gets to sleep on the bed with Dad. When it’s his brother’s turn, Duke sleeps in his crate. LRR places foster dogs at Duke’s house and he happily welcomes them to his games of fetch! (06/09)

Bea

Bea, age 7, is Queen of the Court and Mommy’s little girl, all in one! She reigns over her backyard domain, protecting it from invasions of deer and other critters. Bea lives a pampered life with her Mom, Dad, 2 two-legged brothers and 2 four-legged brothers. Although frightened and shy when adopted in 2004, Bea has become much more confident with the consistent, kind loving care of her family. Sometimes she still gets scared by the smell of the toaster, beep of the microwave or nasty thunderstorms, but Bea is always happy to snuggle and give Sweet Bea kisses to her people. (04/09)

Pudge

One of 3 Labbies in his family, Pudge, now 9, was adopted by his forever family in 2003. Despite fatty lumps, creaky joints from arthritis and bursitis, a heart condition, and poor hearing, Pudge is the instigator of fun. He romps and wrestles with Lab fosters who pass through his home. He loves to run with his squeaky ball, making lots of noise, although he can barely hear it. Pudge enjoys long naps on his favorite brown sofa and makes his people laugh each day with his light hearted outlook on the world. (04/09)

Baron

Adopted in 2000, Baron was the first Lab in his family, soon joined by a brother and sister. He has been a therapy dog, earned a Canine Good Citizen title, and continues to serve as a role model and breed ambassador for more than 50 foster Labs. But his favorite job is “working as the loving, faithful companion of his family for nine wonderful years!” Baron moves at a slower pace these days due to a bit of arthritis but he still helps to keep his family on an even keel by making sure everyone gets fed and out the door on time, especially the dog members of the family. (04/09)

Lady Bird

Lady Bird is a true First Lady! She snoozes on a plush, luxurious bed and ever sooooo slowly stretches off it as she wakes each morning. While her people prepare for the day, Lady Bird breakfasts. She has a little outdoor time, then snoozes the day away, with rest occasionally interrupted when someone – the mailman, perhaps – approaches her home. In late afternoon, Lady Bird has more outdoor play, then her supper, and some quiet time in her crate while the family eats dinner. Her day ends with playtime with her 3-year-old human brother, and she is ready for bed – her plush one! – by 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. (03/09)

Sophie

The smile on Sophie’s face tells the story – she is a happy girl! Her health is generally excellent, though she is a little stiff from a bout with Lyme disease. Sophie’s day begins as she waits patiently in her bed for the alarm to go off. She hangs out in the bathroom while her owner readies for work. Then it’s downstairs for breakfast and an inspection of the back yard. Sophie is in charge of the house and the cats while her owner is at work. Evenings are spent in the park retrieving tennis balls, taking a walk, checking out the yard, eating dinner, and watching TV with her human. (3/09)

Amber

Amber loves walks and chasing tennis balls. She’s an early riser, starting her day before 4:00 a.m.! She and her master take long morning and evening walks. After she has breakfast she has a job – helping her brothers and sister wake up and prepare for the school day. When the entire family is together in the evening and weekends, they shower Amber with love. And did I mention tennis balls? Amber loves nothing more than to retrieve tennis balls. She is extremely healthy for an older girl. Her only recent health concern was an injury to her leg earlier this year. But with rest and medication, she was soon chasing tennis balls again! (3/09)
