Friends, it is with a heavy, broken heart that I have to tell you that Renee Riegel, founder and president of Greater Dayton Labrador Retriever Rescue, has passed away today😢 While the rescue world has lost a loving, dedicated woman, those of us who knew her well are grieving right now.

Update : ADOPTED!

Where are our Poodle lovers?

Hi everyone. My name is Junebug but my foster mom calls me Junie or sometimes Junie B Jones (I dont know why she calls me that). I am 4 years old and looking for my forever home. Let me tell you about myself: I LOVE curling up with my foster mom - the more attention the better. When I am not being petted by her, I am on the couch - that is my spot. I take my favorite toys there, I like to eat my treats there (did I tell you I LOVE treats), and I often nap there. Being outside is something I also enjoy. I happily go out the doggy door and run the yard, chase the squirrels, and hang with the other 2 fur babies who live here. I am happy to play with other dogs but also ok as the only dog - that way I will get extra pets. I also like taking walks on a leash and smelling new things. My foster mom says sometimes I pick up too many things around the house (socks, gloves, paper, clothes, etc.) I am getting better about that and when foster mom goes places, I try to leave things alone. I am a good eater - I like a little topper on my kibble - but who doesnt 🙂 I would be an awesome new roommate. Just give me a chance.

Hi there! My name is Sunflower, and I'm on a very important mission: to find my forever cuddle station!
My foster mom and dad tell me I'm the sweetest Boston Terrier/Frenchie they've ever met. My daily routine includes a cheerful morning stretch, a little zoomie session in the yard, and then it's serious business time: eating, napping, snuggling, and giving the very best kisses.
I'm a great big sister too! I get along great with other dogs/cats/kids.
My ideal home would have:
• Someone who gives excellent belly rubs.
• A comfy spot on the couch reserved just for me.
• A fenced yard, patient family, and someone who has lots of love and attention to give.
I promise to provide endless love, loyal companionship, and a lifetime supply of goofy smiles. If you think your home is the perfect fit for a sweetie like me, please fill out an application today!

Dear friends,
We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts. Our sweet Poppy, a beautiful 4 years old miniature poodle from a back yard breeder, has recently been diagnosed with heartworm disease. This news has hit us hard, but we are determined to get her the care she needs to become healthy and strong again.
Poppy is such a sweet soul. She is quiet, gentle, and full of love. She adores chewing on her bones and hoarding all of her toys. She is slowly learning to play with other dogs, and every small step she takes fills our hearts with hope. But right now, she is facing an uphill battle with her health.
The treatment she needs is expensive and will take a couple of months, but we are hopeful that, once complete, she will be able to live a long and healthy life. Afterward, she will need to stay on heartworm prevention for the rest of her life, ensuring her heart stays safe.
We are committed to giving Poppy the care she deserves, but we cannot do it alone. We are asking for your help with the cost of her treatment, which is approximately $1,000. Every little bit helps, and no contribution is too small.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Poppy on her journey to health. Your generosity will make all the difference in her recovery, and we are forever grateful for your love and kindness.

You can donate several ways. If you can't donate, can you please share so other might?
