LABRADOR RETRIEVER RESCUE

Bowie

Hi Judy, I hope you are healthy and well. It’s been a year since we adopted the beautiful 4-year old chocolate Lab named Bo (now called Bowie) in February of 2020, and we want to check in to let you know what a wonderful match you made. Bowie fit seamlessly into our active family eager to take long morning walks around town, early evening walks along the Bay, family hikes all around the Bay Area and the occasional swim too. Strangers stop us on walks many times a week to tell us what a beauty he is, and friends remark about how he is calm and gentle. Bowie is truly an incredible dog and an integral part of our family. Thank you for taking the time and doing the research needed to make this a successful match. We had such a good experience with Monterey Bay Lab Rescue and have recommended you many times. Thank you for all you do. Elizabeth (and the rest of the Smith...

Suki

Hi Judy, We recently celebrated Suki’s 11th birthday…here’s a photo of her (not-so-patiently) waiting for her special treat of yogurt and carrots, which are two of her favorite things! Dr. Shannon says she’s in very good health and is a “young 11-year-old!” She is so much fun and still very playful. Her favorite toy is still the orange disc you may remember, which we have now replaced several times. She and Marty wake up very early and about an hour later, she comes to wake me up with a kiss on my ear. She has some tiny grey hairs coming in on her eyebrows…they look so cute! I can’t believe it’s been 3.5 years since we brought her home. She is the sweetest, best girl and Marty and I are grateful every day that she became part of our family. ~ Cathleen, Marty and...

Maverick/previously Diesel

Hi Judy, We adopted Maverick in July when he was eight weeks old, and we continue to fall in love with him more each day.  He’s doubled in size since we got him and is a gentle soul who just adores people.  Maverick enjoys hanging with his pack on beach runs  in Half Moon Bay, puppy manners class, and homemade dog food.  He’s incredibly easy to train, loves kids – especially our one year old granddaughter – and simply makes our lives better.  We just love our Maverick and feel so lucky to have him.   Thank you Monterey Bay Lab Rescue for pairing us with the perfect pup.  Lisa...

Ziggy

Hi Judy- I am completely in love with Ziggy. He is a sweet, funny and loving dog. After such a brief time, I noticed how much more relaxed and secure he is in his new home, and with Charlie and the other dogs on the property. He has had many new adventures such as not leaving the side of the barbecue as a steak sizzles, running in the vineyards and sneaking a dip with Charlie in the town library’s fountain, and meeting lots of new friends hiking with me in Las Posadas. After wondering for a while if every time he got In my car I was going to take him back, he now jumps in easily and securely, and I can proudly say I cart around over 200 pounds of labs. There are a lot more adventures to come, but in the meantime, I assure him I am his new mama. Oh, and there are lots of remarks about how handsome he is. It is roasting up here right now, so Charlie, Ziggy and I are lounging in the air-conditioning. All three of us have been invited to a dinner party tonight, so Ziggy is resting up for his first cocktail! Ziggy is very well loved! Thank you!...

Leo

Hello Judy,I hope you are well!  I bet you are busy as always with your amazing lab rescue!!  I haven’t sent an update or photo of our beautiful boy Leo in so long.  I can’t believe he has been with us for 3.5 years.  I love him with all my heart 💜…he is absolutely the best.  As I write, he’s laying on my legs on the bed snoring.  He’s already had breakfast after which he likes to get on our bed and enjoy a post breakfast snooze. Leo and my little boy are best buddies.  Leo is so gentle and tolerant.  He’s our Gentle Giant.  He has the perfect disposition.Here are a few photos of Leo and my little boy, John Henry, in the Texas Bluebonnets. All the...
