Maxey is a casualty of the economy. His family lost their home and had to surrender their beloved Lab to a city shelter. This very friendly black boy is approximately 2-3 years old and currently weighs 118 lbs, much too much for a dog his size. He definitely needs to drop about 20-30 lbs. and this will take time. He is currently on a lite food and exercise is in his future.
|
|
However exercise should not be a problem for Maxey because he loves to chase a ball and bring it back to you; he just can’t do it very long before he gets winded. He has had obedience training, but this definitely needs to be reinforced. He will sit on command. Maxey is housebroken and does well in a crate.
|
|
|
Maxey’s world as he knew it has changed, but he’s taking it like a champ. He’s ready to go to a new home and start a new life. Maxey would make a wonderful walking companion. If you are looking for a wonderful Lab to make a part of your life and home, please complete our on-line adoption application.

Yeager is a two-year-old, yellow boy who was taken to a mid-cities shelter when his owner could no longer provide the kind of home and environment Yeager needs. He is housebroken, good with children, other dogs, and cats. He weighs approximately 90 lbs.
|
|
|
Yeager received good medical care while in his prior home and he is a healthy boy. He rides well in a car and is good on a leash. We don’t know if he has had any obedience training, but he is well behaved. A yard with at least a six foot fence is necessary. Chewing was not reported to be a problem at his last home.
|
|
It’s now time for this handsome boy to find a person or family who can provide the type of home this boy needs and deserves. He wants to be part of a family, not a part of the yard. If you are interested in Yeager, or any of the wonderful Labs in our program, please complete our on-line adoption application.

Now in foster care, Foster is doing famously. He lives with a cat and another dog who he adores. Foster, who loves everyone and everything, is crate trained and is most content when he is sitting next to his foster being petted. But when he hears his favorite squeaky toy, he is on the run to get it. Additionally, Foster loves riding in the car.
|
|
|
Foster is not a Lone Star Labrador Retriever Rescue dog. Please apply directly to Education and Animal Rescue Society at adoptions@earstexas.org for more information and a copy of their adoption application. All animals are completely vetted including all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, free of internal parasites, micro-chipped, heartworm negative and on prevention before adoption.

Ebony is a sweet, petite, 16-month-old female Lab. She survived a house fire but became homeless because of it. She went from living in the home as a beloved part of the family to being tied to a tree outside. From there she was taken to a north Texas city shelter.
|
|
|
Because of this ordeal, Ebony is probably confused and wondering what happened to her home and family. However, she is showing us that she is very resilient. As would be expected, she lost weight during this ordeal, but we are working to put this weight back on her.
|
|
Ebony is eager to please and seems very smart, so she will learn the rules in a new home very quickly. She gets along well with other dogs and she loves to play fetch. We think Ebony would be a wonderful addition to almost any family. If you are looking for a Lab to share your life and home with, then Ebbie may be the one for you. Please complete our on-line adoption application.

Aspen is a 72 lb., two-year-old handsome yellow Lab who was taken to a city shelter after his family moved away, leaving him in the backyard. We don’t know how long he was left alone without someone to care for him, but he is a healthy boy, just underweight. He needs to gain 5-8 lbs.
|
|
Aspen is a friendly boy to every person and every dog he meets. Since he is new to our program, we don’t know how his manners are in a house, but we do know that he is very sweet and very calm for a dog his age. He walks well on a leash, willingly goes in a dog crate, and rides very well in a car.
|
|
|
It is now time for this wonderful Lab to find a new home where he will be given the care, love, and attention he didn’t receive in his first home. If you are looking for a wonderful Lab to add to your family we hope you will want to meet Aspen. Complete our online application

Molly is about 7 years old and on a scale of 10, she is a 9.5 for being a wonderful family dog. Molly has only one problem. She has severe thunderstorm anxiety and had to be surrendered by her family because they have three small children and simply were unable to handle the problem. Before they surrendered her, however, they contacted a veterinarian who specializes is behavior management. Molly has been prescribed medicine for this anxiety as well as a behavior modification and de-sensitization program.
|
|
|
Lone Star Lab Rescue is looking for a person or a family who might want to work with Molly. She is a dog that dreams are made of until a thunderstorm rolls through. Working with Molly would be a great experience for someone wanting to start a career in dog training or behavior management. Lone Star Lab Rescue would handle all expenses.
|
|
A second solution to this problem would be to find Molly a home in a part of the country where there are few if any thunderstorms. It is reported that Southern California seems to be thunderstorm free. Does anyone know anyone in such a place who is looking for a great family dog? She is great with children of all ages. She loves swimming, playing fetch, and just being around her family. If you are interested in adopting Molly, please complete our online adoption application

Lollie was picked up in a Wal-mart parking lot where she had been seen wandering around for about 5 days. She had no collar, no microchip and she was all skin and bones. The Good Samaritan who took her home gave her a warm safe place to sleep, good food, tended to the sores on her neck from where a chain had been and gave her lots of love and attention. This Good Samaritan kept Lollie for about three months so she was able to tell us a lot about her.
|
|
Lollie loves riding in a car, she loves to swim, she loves to play fetch, and she gets along well with cats. The Good Samaritan, who is also a dog trainer, taught her basic commands like “sit”, “watch me”, “wait”, and “go”. Lollie also walks beautifully on a leash. She is an easy dog to handle.
|
|
|
It wasn’t surprising to us – Lollie tested positive for heartworms. She was treated for heartworms on July 15th and will be ready to go to her forever home around August 15th. Lollie has also been spayed, has had all of her vaccinations, and a fecal test. If you would like to adopt lollie please complete an online application

This is Bailey, a 60 lb., 8-year-old yellow Lab who still in the prime of her life. She is housebroken and good with other dogs, although she can get a little jealous if she isn’t getting the attention she wants. She is loyal and protective.
|
|
|
She has been trained to sit, stay, and lay down on command and has always been an inside girl. She has been around very small children, but would probably do best with children 5 or older.
|
|
If you are looking for a companion who will sit loyally by your side and hang on your every word, then Bailey is the Lab for you. Please complete our on-line adoption application.

Madison is a 7.5-year-old chocolate girl who weighs 55 lbs. She keeps herself in good shape by chasing balls and swimming. Madie is housebroken and good with other dogs. She is also good with children.
|
|
She has been trained to sit, stay, and lay down on command, but like many of us she has selective hearing and could use a little work with these commands.
|
|
|
If you are looking for a Lab to accompany you on walks and retrieve every ball you throw, then Madison is the Lab for you. Please complete our on-line adoption application.

Ridge is an 86 pound furry ball of love that came out of a local shelter. He is about 3 years old and is an extremely personable dog. He gets along well with other dogs. Right now his favorite part of each day is being in doggie day care with other Labs , Golden Retrievers and Great Danes. He also gets along well with children and has all the makings of a great family dog.
Ridge has one problem. He suffers from severe separation anxiety when his people leave him. He gets very upset, can break out of his crate and can be very destructive.
|
|
|
Ridge would be a terrific dog in a retirement home or an assisted living facility where someone is around both day and night. Or, he would be great in the country where he could be in the house or ride around in someone’s truck all day. And, when he had to be left alone he could be put in a secure, escape proof kennel outside. He will howl, wail and bark in a situation like that so we think he would be better in a more rural area where neighbors won’t be disturbed.
|
|
Everyone loves Ridge and we hope that we can find that very special home for him. If you are interested in meeting this boy please complete our online adoption application.

Charlie is a very sweet & loving Lab mix who is about 1 ½ years old. He was pulled from a city shelter and has gone from a dog who was literally petrified with fear, to a very friendly and sociable dog.
|
Charlie loves attention and to be loved on. He is crate trained and uses a doggie door in his foster home. He is very dependably housebroken. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes but sometimes, when he really gets revved up, he can play a little rough with smaller dogs – like the poodle in his foster home.
Charlie is a great family dog and does well with children. He loves anyone who will play with him and he is very eager to please.
|
|
|
Charlie needs a very special family because he has recently been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis with accompanying megaesophagus. He is on medication for this and his foster mom reports that he is responding well. He has a 50% chance that this will go into remission. Otherwise he will need to be on meds for the rest of his life. The family who adopts Charlie will find that it is totally worth it! He is a very devoted and loving boy.
