Jeepie Fitch 1997 – 2008 In the fall of 1997, we were looking for a second lab to help our lab, Yankee, re-learn to walk. Yankee had taken a leap through a plate glass window and seriously injured his two front legs. He was refusing to walk or play. We had wanted a second lab and it seemed like a good time to get one. We contacted Jackie and went to see “Georgie”. We took Georgie, a beautiful red and very timid lab home with us. He was only going to be 65 pounds so there was some concern about sending him to a house that already had a 90-pound lab. Within two minutes, timid “Georgie” had Yankee in a submissive position in the backyard! Within less than an hour, Yankee was walking on all four legs! We took Georgie into the house where it was clear that the house was a new experience. Georgie jumped up and walked on the kitchen table, kitchen counters, the back of the couch, and every thing else! My teenage son looked at him disgustedly and said, “You brought home a 4-wheel-drive dog with no manners!” Georgie became Jeep.
Last Tuesday, after a game of catch with a bag of fresh McDonald’s french fries, Jeepie took the Rainbow Bridge to be with Yankee. I know that they are together again and that the wrinkly-nose games continue… After 10 years of Rescuing wonderful Labs we have the sad job of saying good by to them. Jeepie was so special. Sleep well dear Jeepie you were well loved by all who knew you.

SENIOR and "Special Needs" DOGS
CCLRR has a special place in our hearts for the senior Labs we rescue. They are such sweet, smart and gentle souls. We are seeing an unfortunate and alarming trend in "Senior Dumping" Older Labs are simply discarded at local shelters because the are "too old". Imagine how it must feel to be in your golden years, having devoted your entire life to your family, only to be taken to a shelter and dumped. Their chances of being adopted from a shelter at their age are slim and none. They are frightened, confused, and grieve for their family. We want them to live out the rest of their golden years in comfort, surrounded by love as these special dogs have so much love left to give, and ask so little in return. Are you that special family that can give a loving home to a wonderful Lab in their golden years? Our Senior and "Special Needs" Dog Adoption Fee is $100.00

20 month old black male. This boy loves ice cubes. He is in heaven with one or two to chew on. We can’t keep him out of the water. He will dump a 5 gallon bucket and lay in the water. He loves the swimming pool, being sprayed with the garden hose, even having a bath. His one bad habit….Buddy drinks water from the toilet when in the house. He seldom barks except when he wants to play and get your attention, he loves to chew on his Nylabone for hours, he rides very well in both the front seat and back seat of a pick up and is vary calm. He walks on leash very well & knows heel, sit, stay & down..

6 - 7 year old black female. Don't let the gray muzzle fool you...some black dogs gray really early there is lots of life left in this sweet girl. You've heard me use the term "bomb proof" well this mellow girl seems to fit that description. She adores children and is rather afraid of cats. Josie is great with other dogs....went right up to her fosters Lab and invited him to play. She knows sit and down and is just so mellow. Josie came to us from the Tuolumne County Shelter and we'll know more about her in a week or so. |

We have very little information on Max but our volunteer said he is a typical active goofy Lab. Since Max spent a week at the Shelter, he is on kennel cough quarantine. We'll know more and update you in a week or so. |

LABS WAITING FOR FOSTER SPACE WITH LAB RESCUE CCLRR allows Labs to be placed on our web page under the heading INDEPENDENT RESCUERS that are with owners, independent rescuers and others. These Labs have not been seen by or evaluated by Lab Rescue and are not part of our program. You will be dealing directly with independent rescuers or owners and not with Lab Rescue volunteers. Since Lab Rescue has not evaluated these Labs, we have no knowledge of their temperment and assume no liability therein.

The original owner of these gorgeous siblings dumped them and they were taken in by a caring person. At that time she lived on a 200 acre ranch where busy highways weren’t an issue. But, she lost her home and had to move to a smaller property. Unfortunately, the property wasn’t fenced and was located near a busy highway. Worried that something would happen to them, rescue stepped in. These brothers need to stay together because Cheeto is blind, although he can see shadows.

In Memoriam
Jeepie went on to eat half of the living room furniture before a visit from the veterinary behaviorist. The answer was Kongs filled with peanut butter and leaving the TV on! Such a simple fix! Our next hurdle was a bad set of hips - glucosomin and chondroitan made his hips much better. He preferred soft beds and slow walks to running, jumping and stairs.
He grew to 90 pounds and he and Yankee became inseparable. They did everything together - traveled, slept, collected stuffed animals and played. Wrinkly-nose was their favorite game in which they acted as though they were wild dogs nipping at each other’s butts and ears! They had 10 wonderful years together.
Last year Jeepie got a disease we couldn’t cure. When his brother Yankee died from thyroid cancer, Jeepie started going downhill. We spent lots of money and lots of time at the vet hospital trying to diagnose the “illness”. Finally, my very scientific vet had to admit that Jeepie had a disease he couldn’t fix. Jeepie was mourning and dying of a broken heart.
ABIGAIL -- 
8 year old chocolate female. Abby is AKC registered and comes from a great pedigree. This is not your sedantary 8 year old. Abby is an independent girl who wants her people all to herself and she lives to retrieve! Abby has been formally trained and is very responsive to commands. She can play a little rough and has lots of energy, so no small children, but she does calm down and settle well. She would do well with an active family with some dog experience. Abby is not really good with other dogs, so she needs to be an "only" dog. 
ALLY -- 
BAILEY -- 
Bailey is a 10 year old chocolate lab. He really loves to run around and play ball. Bailey has no idea that he is ten years old. His best pal is Teal but they don’t have to be adopted together so it would be nice if Bailey could have another dog to play with. He’s just the cutest thing, are you the one to give him his forever home? 
Bo is a 5-6 year old black male who spent the first 4 years of his life tied to a chain on concrete. He was rescued by a kind couple who due to a lifestyle change, are unable to care for him. Bo has had ACL (knee) surgery on both legs and recently underwent a revision of his ACL surgery on his right leg. Bo can walk and run for short distances only. He loves to go for short walks and plays fetch. Bo does well with most dogs and ignores cats. He prefers to remain indoors with his people. He is housebroken, has lovely manners and is a love. Bo would be the perfect companion for an older person who wants a quiet, gentle companion.
BUBBA #1-- 
BUDDY -- 
Buddy loves to retrieve but is not too good at giving the ball back.
He gets along very well with other dogs and is not the least bit dominant. He goes into a crate quite willingly and does not make a fuss. Buddy is pretty well housebroken and lets you know at the door when he wants out. He is great when left in the back yard and does not try to jump or escape in any manner. He is not the slightest bit afraid of a vacuum, weed eater, blower, edger etc……He does jump on the furniture if he can get away with it and likes to sleep on the bed all night.
( Formerly Isaac) 7 year old yellow male. Cap'n is an awesome guy. He weights in at about 110 lbs but is working on his figure. He seems to have lost a little weight already. His foster family will have a hard time parting with him. Cap’n has become an outdoor fixture at our place. He loves to sleep on the front doormat or in the yard most of the day and hang out with outside in the evenings and he never wanders away. Cap’n gets along with everybody, cats, dogs, people, and loves to wrestle and play with our little corgi mix. We’re not convinced that Cap’n is housebroken, which is part of the reason he’s outside. Because of his weight, we had him tested for thyroid problems and diabetes and he was free of both. In fact, the vet said the Cap’n is in awesome condition for such a heavy weight. All of his organ functions are great, he is very agile for his size and still very playful both mentally and physically, but never out of control. He has no problem getting in the car or up on the porch swing. Cap’n is just great to have around. A real sweetie pie. He wouldn’t be a good running companion or for activities too strenuous, but he is a super great family member to hang out with and love on.
CHOCOLATE -- 
CINDY -- 
5 year Black Female who would love to spend her days with someone who likes a dog snuggling at their feet. She would be the perfect match for a person who works from home or doesn't spend long days away from home. She is a sweet dog, and loves to go for walks and car rides. She is very attentive and is good around children. She has a protective nature and alarm barks but does not bark recreationally.
Daisy Sweet 6 year old yellow female. This pretty girl is being harassed by a younger family dog and needs a new home. She is great with children, fine with quiet dogs but really doesn't want to be around goofy young ones. Daisy has been an outside dog but does come in from time to time and has never had an accident...she would love to become a house dog. By the way, she'll do anything for treats
Daisy is an almost 4 year old small black lab mix. And yes, there's something else in there by the looks of the ears, but her heart and soul are pure lab. She's wonderfully trained, adores attention, has been well socialized with other dogs, and is ok with cats if they are up for a game of chase. Her problem is she's never gotten over the fact that mom and dad brought a new baby home--now she has to share the attention. Daisy is looking for a home where she can be the princess again--she's just a doll!
DASH -- 
4 month old yellow male. Dash arrived with his sisters Dixie and Dottie from the Fresno Shelter. He is the handsome boy in the blue collar. He loves playing with his sisters and swimming. He LOVES the pool. He will need a family with time to train him and take him to obedience school.
4 month old yellow females Dixie is the pink collar, Dottie is the purple collar. These adorable girls came to us from the Fresno Shelter. They are typical goofy pups, into everything, curious about everything. They come when called, love water and play til they drop. Puppies are a huge undertaking, they do not train themselves.....obedience school is a must as is lots of time and patience.
7 year old purebred yellow male. Duke (and his friend Zoe) has spent his whole life in a 1/2 acre yard on a farm. His owner died and a kind tenant has been caring for him. Duke is such a happy boy...so easy going but completely used to taking care of himself. He hopped right into the crate and rode well in the car. He greeted everyone at the vet with a wagging tail. He knows sit and that's it. He got his first ever bath today, all his shots and a complete exam. He is a healthy boy. We think he'll learn to be a housedog in no time and be a wonderful gentle companion to a lucky family of children. Did we mention he is AKC regfistered and really handsome?
Senior yellow male. This sweet gentleman wants a forever home for
his retirement years. He has great manners as most senior Labs do but he
still enjoys playing ball and going on easy walks. He likes other
dogs...we don't know about cats. Are you retired? Want a perfect companion
to hang out with? Come see Elliot
9 year old yellow male. This is a large goofy boy. Yes he's on the edge of being a senior but nobody has told him...he gallops like a horse in pure joy. He is great with other dogs...moved right into his fosters home with 3 females and another male.....didn't lift his leg once and he is completely housebroken. He has great house manners except for the galloping up and down the hall....He has two paces, nap and gallop. He's pretty big 
for small children but he'd love to play with kids 8 and older. He follows the other dogs everywhere and really seems to like the company. So far we haven't seen any bad habits. He came to us with a huge fatty tumor which we had removed....we think he looks so much better and we know he feels better....this boy found his way to a Shelter and no one claimed him....we sure don't know why...he's a gem
2 1/2 year old purebred black female. Her dad is working long hours out of town and poor Holly is not getting the attention she deserves. She is a little shy at first, but give her a minute to warm up to you and she'll be crawling into your lap! She's been well cared for, sleeps on her own bed at the foot of her dad's bed. She has one slight problem which is being corrected--she leaks urine--with a simple inexpensive pill, her dribbling has been corrected. It's not uncommon to see this problem in dogs that have been spayed. It's no big deal. Holly is wishing for a family with kids and or another dog she can play with.
HONEY -- 
16 month old yellow female. This sweet girl had a really bad start. She was sold as a puppy by her breeder...the owners tried some very rough training to turn her into a hunting dog...this gentle girl didn't do well so they were going to dump her at Animal Control. Well she's with a great foster family and is so sweet. She knows sit, stay a little, down, walks some on a leash, plays great with the family border collie, and is used to other farm animals like horses and goats. dont know about cats. her foster has 12 children up to 18 years of age and Honey does very well except in her crate which she is protective of. Honey would probably be good with children 3 and up. Honey is active but not out of control. Settles well .seems to be house broken. With 12 children her foster family doesn't have her in the house much.
JOSIE -- 
4 year old black neutered male with gorgeous fur, has a splash of white on his chest, weighs 87lbs, utd on shots, raised with kids, one is 7 years old, the others are teenagers. Owner would like Koda to have a family that could devote time to playing with him and walk him. He is housebroken, spends his day out in the yard and sleeps in the garage. He barks at newcomers but settles down after introductions. He will try to jump on you but responds to commands to not do so. He takes treats gently and when given a bone prefers to bury it instead of chewing it. He would be best placed with a family that has kids over the age of 5 because of his size and playfulness.
one year old yellow lab mix. He is housetrained, crate-trained, and gets along with other dogs and cats. He likes the water and loves playing ball. Louis is a shy boy in new situations and with new people, so he needs a dog-savy family with children 12 and older who will be patient and work with his insecurities to make him the best companion ever.
Mickey 6 - 7 year old yellow male. What a sweet guy but although Mickey is an "adult" Lab he is still very active....he will take you for a walk and you better be prepared to step out....no dawdling for this boy. He wants to see what's out there. He is good with other dogs, we think he would chase a cat. Good with older children, probably too active for toddlers. He loves to go in the car. We think he is housebroken. We'll know more when we have a report from his foster. Mickey is on kennel cough quarantine.
Midnight is a big black 5 year old female teddy bear. She hasn't met anyone or anything she didn't like--people, kids of all ages, dogs, cats, and she even wanted to be friendly with a skunk till it sprayed her! She's been raised with kids and critters and she just enjoys any and all attention. She's housetrained but lately she's been stuck out back which wasn't her favorite but she took it like a champ--no whining or barking! She definitely prefers a nice cool house. She would make a wonderful addition to any family. If you're looking for the perfect, "bomb proof" family dog, Midnight fits the bill perfectly.
Sierra 7 year old chocolate female and her mom Sara 11 year old chocolate female. These girls have a story. We got a call from our friend Karen in Reno...seems some tenants were evicted from a foreclosure house and moved out...took the furniture but left Sierra and Sara behind. Neighbors called the Reno Shelter and we got the call. 
SHADOW -- 
1 year old black male. This sweet boy is small....maybe 60 lbs and so sweet. He found his way to the Yuba County Shelter and no one came for him. So far we know he is good with other dogs, loves people and most of all loves belly rubs. Sport is on kennel cough quarantine and we'll know more in a week or so.
Timmy -- 
VALENTINE - This happy, energic 2 year old Chocolate male loves people other dogs and swimming...unfortunately Valentine was born with bilateral Hip Dysplasia...presently he is doing very well and will continue to do well in a home where he can swim at least once a day....Making sure Valentine is not allowed to become over weight and given Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM will be helpful in maintaining overall joint health...While this may seem heartbreaking, giving Valentine a warm loving home for as long as he has quality of life can be very rewarding, he has lots of love to give... 
two AKC registered males who are looking for new homes. Sebastian is 4 yrs, chocolate, and the father of Xander. Xander is black and 1 1/2 years old. Their owner is moving and she can't take them with her. She would prefer they stay together but they can be seperated. They are housebroken. Xander is crate trained. They know sit and stay. They both are good with other dogs, not sure about cats. They love to retrieve and swim and are active. Sebastian's personality is more laid back and Xander is more energetic.
Cheeto 1.5 year old beautiful neutered lab/golden mix 83lbs.
Cheeto gets along very well with his “handicap” and his brother Charlie is his “seeing” eye dog. These boys are quite bonded. Both are very good with kids of all ages and are well socialized with dogs too – having been around very small to very large dogs. They love to play with toys and tennis balls and love attention. They are housebroken and crate trained. They are even good about having their toe nails clipped. These boys are current on their vaccinations. If you are interested in adopting or fostering this special pair of brothers, please call Holly at (650) 322-9888.
