🐾 Hey there, I’m Leo — one of the Lucky 7!

Guess what? My sister Daisy and my brothers Houdini and Aspen already found their awesome homes… and now it’s my turn! 🎉

I’m a 2‑year‑old yellow Lab with a big heart and an even bigger smile. I love everyone — people, dogs, you name it! I’ve been waiting patiently in my kennel, dreaming about soft beds, belly rubs, and a family to call my own.

I’m sweet, friendly, and ready to learn all the fun parts of home life — walks, toys, and snuggles on the couch. I just need someone to open their door (and heart!) so I can show them how much love I’ve been saving up.

So… who’s ready to make me the happiest Lucky 7 pup of all?

Here’s a more engaging, adopter‑friendly rewording of your “Must Knows” list. It keeps the facts clear but adds warmth and excitement for social media:

🌟 Leo’s Must‑Knows!

• 💛 I’m as sweet as they come — a true lovebug.

• 🤗 Leaning in close is my favorite way to ask for affection.

• 🐕 Dogs? I think they’re awesome! I’ve lived with seven of them and loved it.

• 🏡 I haven’t lived in a house yet, but I’m eager to learn all the home‑life skills.

• 👶 Kids? Yep, I like them too and would do well with most ages.

If you Share this post, I promise to give you a big Kiss!

Grits Has a Very Important Job…

I’m 11 years old, 115 pounds, and apparently I’m the guy everyone comes to when they need to know if another dog has good manners.

Young, energetic dog? I’ve got you.

Dog who thinks personal space is just a suggestion? Yep, I’ve met those.

Dog who needs someone calm to show them the ropes? That’s me.

I’ve been a dog evaluator’s secret weapon because I’m calm, balanced, and pretty much unbothered by all the shenanigans that come my way.

I’ve met dogs who bounce, dogs who wrestle, dogs who have absolutely NO idea what “polite” means… and I just calmly say, “Relax, kid. I got this.” 😎

But here’s the thing people sometimes forget about the dog who helps everyone else:

I’m looking for my own family, too. ❤️

I’m a gentle, low-energy guy who enjoys the simple things in life. I’m dog friendly, love my people, and would be perfectly happy spending my days relaxing beside you.

🐾 11 years young
🐾 115 lbs of lovable Lab
🐾 Dog friendly
🐾 Low energy
🐾 Gentle and calm
🐾 Best with kids 8+
🐾 No cats — I have a prey drive

I’ve spent a lot of time showing other dogs how to be good companions.

Now I’m hoping someone will give me the chance to be theirs.

Maybe my next important job can be…

Your best friend. ❤️

If this sweet boy made you smile, a quick share helps him get seen by his future family. Please Share

💛 Hi, I’m Gus — Proud Dad and Gentle Soul

Have you heard? My kids, Daisy, Houdini, and Aspen went off to start their new lives. I’ve heard they’re doing great. That’s all a dad could hope for, really. Knowing they’re safe, loved, and learning what it means to be part of a family fills my heart with pride. I picture them chasing toys, curling up on couches, and soaking up all the love they deserve. It’s bittersweet, but mostly it’s joy — the kind you feel when you know your pups have found their place in the world.

Now it’s my turn. I’ve spent my life outdoors, watching the world from behind a fence, and I’m ready to step into my own new beginning — one where I’m not just watching, but belonging. I’m a big, gentle guy who loves affection and belly rubs, and I’ll lean right into you for more. I’m happiest near water — give me a pond, a creek, or even a sprinkler, and I’ll show you my best splash.

I’ve done my job raising my pups, and now I’m ready to meet my own family — the ones who’ll see me not just as a rescue, but as a loyal friend who’s waited patiently for his turn to be loved.

Love, Gus 🐾

🐾 Gus’s Quick Facts:

• Age: About 6 years old — old enough to know what matters, young enough to still play.

• Breed: Yellow Lab — classic good looks, even better heart.

• Personality: Gentle, affectionate, and proud of my pups who’ve gone on to great homes.

• Favorite things: Water (any kind!), belly rubs, and leaning in for love.

• Other dogs: I’m friendly and polite; I’ve raised pups, so I know how to get along.

• Dream day: A splash in the water, a nap in the shade, and a hand resting on my head.

“If you’ve got a minute, please share my post. I’ve heard my kids are out there living their best lives, and I’m hoping a share helps me find mine too.”

🌙 Hi, I’m Luna — and I’ve Been Hearing All About the Good Life!

My kennel mates have been telling me about the good life — soft beds, warm homes, belly rubs on the couch, and families who love you just for being you. Three of my siblings have already been adopted, and I’ve heard they’re thriving. I’m so happy for them… and I’m hoping it’s my turn next.

I’m a social girl who loves people, attention, and I like to soak up affection like sunshine and lean in close for pets.

I dream about the day I’ll get to leave the kennel behind and start my own new chapter — one filled with cozy naps, fun adventures, and a family who sees how special I am. I’m ready for love, ready for a home, and ready to shine just like my siblings.

Love, Luna 🐾

• Age: I’m still a young girl at 1.5 yrs old with lots of love to give.

• Personality: Sweet, social, and always ready to greet you with a happy tail wag.

• Favorite things: Attention, gentle pets, and hearing stories about the “good life” from my kennel mates.

• Energy level: Playful, active — I love being with people.

• Dream day: A cozy bed, a walk with my people, and lots of affection — the kind my siblings tell me all about.

“If you can, please share my post. My kennel mates have been telling me all about the good life, and I’m hoping a share helps me find my family so I can experience it too.”

Meet Loki!

Loki | 4 years old | 78 lbs | Medium-Low Energy

• Dog Friendly: Yes, but prefers calm, respectful dogs

• Cat Friendly: Unknown

• Kids: 8+

• House Trained: Yes

• Crate Trained: Yes

• Ideal Home: A laid-back family who will include him in everyday life

Loki is a handsome dark yellow Dudley Lab with a big heart and an easygoing personality. This affectionate boy loves being close to his people and is happiest when he’s part of whatever you’re doing. Whether it’s playing in the yard, going for a car ride, or settling in for some snuggles, Loki just wants to be by your side.

He’s a smart, confident boy who picks up on routines quickly and enjoys learning. Loki already knows several commands, including sit, leave it, and drop it, and he’s working on a few more. He’s motivated by both treats and toys, making training a fun way to bond with him.

One of Loki’s cutest habits is carrying toys around in his mouth like a pacifier. He loves collecting them into little piles! He’ll happily chase a toy, although bringing it back is still a work in progress.

Loki is friendly with other dogs but doesn’t need a canine playmate to entertain him. He’s fairly independent and prefers dogs who share his relaxed approach to life. Overly energetic dogs aren’t really his style. He would do well with a calm canine companion or as the only dog in a home where he gets plenty of human attention.

He’s house trained, crate trained, and settles quickly when left alone for a few hours. Loki enjoys a predictable routine, moderate exercise, and plenty of time with his family. His leash manners could use a little polishing, but he’s eager to please and responds well to gentle, consistent guidance.

Loki’s ideal family will appreciate his affectionate nature, give him opportunities to keep learning, and make him part of their daily adventures. He’s a wonderful combination of independence, intelligence, and devotion, with plenty of love to give.
