Raven in the smallest and youngest of the pack, but her big brother Bubba is very protective of her and follows her everywhere. Raven is a typical puppy who loves to get into trouble but who has quickly found out that being cute and sitting down with an innocent look on your face normally gets you off the hook and out of trouble. Raven's new mom and dad say that the love she brings with her more than makes up for the little mischief that she gets into.

Summer has been coming with me to school to pick up the kids. When I come back to the car I always find her sitting in the drivers seat looking out the window. The kids think that is really funny.
Adopted!! "Skye"		Skye found her way into the hearts of a lady and her daughter living in Grapevine. The remarkable part of this success story is that the daughter is named Skye.

We get up every morning and a take a walk through the neighborhood. I will tell you that her name really suits her because she is quickly becoming the "Belle" of the ball in our neighborhood. We have met so many great new neighbors and their friendly furry friends! You would never know that Roxy and Belle are not related. We try and get the girls together at least once a week. They cry every time they have to leave each other. I have some adorable pictures of them. We went to the lake house this weekend and Belle jumped out of the car and straight into the lake. Yes this is a dog that acts like she can't jump off the bed by herself and she was jumping off 3 foot high embankments to get in the water. At one point we thought she was going to try and swim across the lake! I truly know why they call labs water dogs!
Adopted!! "Emma"		Emma has been adopted! This very sweet girl fit right in with her foster family's dogs and was an instant hit with two sets of children and grandchildren. When people expressed an interest in adopting Emma instant gloom settled over everyone. It didn't take long for the family to decide that Emma should simply stay where she was. Emma has found her forever home and everyone is happy again!
Adopted!! "Jess"		Jess was adopted on July 12th and will be spending her first birthday in her new forever home. Jess is now living with a retired couple who have children and grandchildren who visit with their dogs so Jess is loving all of the loving attention that she is getting and is tickled pink that she has so many dog friends to play chase with.
Adopted!! "Lucy"		As Lucy eagerly ran up to the house for her first day with her new family she was greeted with smiles, hugs, love and a large basket of goodies. All kinds of doggie toys and treats, including a new red chili pepper collar that fit just perfectly were waiting to welcome her. Lucy seems to have already bonded with her family especially the young boy who spent hours of research on the internet searching for what he through would be the perfect dog. It is clear that Lucy will now spend the rest of her days in a �forever home� where she will be deeply loved. We are confident that Lucy will return all the love and will prove to be a perfect canine companion.
Adopted!! "Chipper"		Chipper been adopted! Here is a photo of him with the two children that now get to fight over who gets to spend the most time with him or get him to sleep with them.
Adopted!! "Cabo"		Cabo has been adopted! Cabo, now known as Phoebe, has found her Forever Home in Fort Worth and has quickly become the apple of her new owner's eye. She arrived to find her photo already residing on the mantle, a brand-new crate for "down-time", and a shopping bag filled with all "necessities for the well-heeled Lab." She was welcomed by a new Sheltie brother, Dillon, and the resident feline, Toby Grey. Phoebe is cheerful, easygoing, loves to go for her daily walks, and has a passion for chasing squirrels. Her Forever Mom works from home, so she enjoys the (air-conditioned) Good Life 24/7.
Adopted!! "Happy"		Happy is now living with a family that adores him completely. The young boy of the family saw Happy on our website and fell in love with him immediately. He printed his picture and kept it on a bulletin board in his room in eager anticipation of having Happy join his family. Happy now shares his new family with a cat names Senor and they have both fully accepted each other as friends. Happy went on his first trip to Houston recently and his human grandparents also fell in love with him. Happy has endeared himself to his immediate family and everyone else who comes into contact with him. This is a truly happy outcome for a wonderful dog.

Adopted!! "Toby"		Toby has been adopted!!! Toby has been adopted by a couple in North Dallas and he will be sharing a home with a 150 pound St. Bernard who is his same age and with a very sweet fourteen year old yellow Lab. Note from Toby's new family: We went to the lake from Thursday through Sunday and Toby had a blast. We kept him on the leash at first and walked him all around. By the end of the weekend, he and Yogi were running around together and having a ball. They swam, we took walks, and he chased a couple of squirrels. He is a great dog and I think he is real comfortable with us.
Adopted!! "Bonnie"		Bonnie has been adopted!!! Bonnie is now Cocoa and starting a new life with a new name with a wonderful, loving couple in Plano. In the past month Bonnie has gained 12 pounds and is now a beautiful, healthy and energetic dog. When last seen she was stretched out having her belly rubbed.
Adopted!! "Jake"		Jake has been adopted!!! Jake graduated from a two week session at K-9 University on June 21st where he had an obvious crush on his instructor, Andra Evans! The progress he made was awesome to all of us who knew him before his training began. He was adopted by a fantastic lady from Grapevine on his graduation day. Jake's story is testimony to the difference obedience training can make in the life of a dog and in the lives of the people around him. Note from Jake's new family: I can't thank all of you enough for all of the help and support with adopting Jake. He is doing wonderful and is very happy in his new home. We are continuing the obedience classes with Andra...Jake teaches me more than I teach him!! Jake went to the vet last week and has all of the girls there wrapped around his paw already!

Your organization is top notch!!

Adopted!! "Callie"		Callie was adopted into a wonderful home with 3 young girls who adore her. Callie is in doggie heaven when she gets to go out into her beautiful yard and swim with her family.

Adopted!! "Nikki"		Nikki our little wounded angel has been adopted. A loving, young couple visited with Nikki at one of our recent PETCO booths and instantly fell in love with her. They were able to look beyond her outward appearance and see the loving, gentle creature that just needed the right family to welcome her into their home. Nikki now lives with her adoptive parents and her canine sister Mandy and basks in the love, safety and companionship of a �forever� home. Nikki will no longer be subjected to the harsh world that treated her with so much cruelty.

Adopted!! "Allie"		Allie was adopted after a very brief time and is now living very happily in Carrollton, Texas. She was pulled from the Arlington shelter on the day she was scheduled for euthanasia. The shelter people just could not believe that so many people came to look at her, but passed her up.

Note from one of the new families: Our family adopted one of the lab puppies from you this weekend in Allen. We just wanted you to know that we named him Bear. He is adjusting well.

While Chloe was finishing up her scheduled vet visits to be spayed, fully checked out, etc. her new family was on a scheduled ski vacation. It is our understanding that they were on pins and needles while waiting to return and welcome Chloe into their home. Chloe is enjoying all the comforts and joys this loving family can dote upon her. She is especially happy in her new neighborhood that has lots of other Labs for her to become friends with.
Adopted!! "Duchess"		Duchess, now known as Carmen, is now permanently with her new "forever" family. Carmen was an excellent mother to the six puppies she presented to us, but they have all been weaned now and have moved on to their new families to start their own life adventure. Carmen spent several hours a day with her new family while she was caring for her puppies as they only live down the street from the generous family who cared for momma and her tiny brood. During that time she learned to be a great leash dog and use the crate like a real lady. Carmen loves to play fetch, tug ball and enjoys playing Frisbee in the driveway. She also adores her Kong � toy filled with peanut butter! She loves going for rides in the car, and obeys commands spoken in the softest voice. She was renamed "Carmen" after the raven-haired beauty of operatic fame, she is truly a dramatic diva who has stolen the hearts of her new family.
Adopted!! "Maggie"		Maggie was adopted January 13th, 2003! Maggie now known as Fuji found a loving home with a �forever� home in Allen.

She is especially fond of water and is in doggy heaven whenever she gets blow dried after taking a bath.

Adopted!! "Seymour"		Seymour has been adopted by a young family in Richardson. He will be living with little Samantha and three felines named Booger, Tigger and Oliver.
Adopted!! "Cocoa"		Cocoa now called Rascal really hit the jackpot. Not only did he find a loving home that has a huge yard for him to play in, but he found something that few Labs can claim. Whenever Rascal isn�t feeling well all he has to do is go see his new mom. She is a DVM and not only can she provide Rascal with all the love and TLC that he needs, she can also provide him with first class personal medical care. What more could a boy ask for?
Adopted!! "Emmy"		Emmy has been adopted by a family in Flower Mound. When we last saw her she was just drying off from swimming in a lovely swimming pool with her new sister, another chocolate Lab named Abby.
Adopted!! "Sampson"		The third time is the charm! Sampson's original owner turned him into the SPCA when he was about 8 months old because he was an outside dog and was very destructive to the yard. His second owner adopted him from the SPCA shortly thereafter and he continued his life as an outside dog, again wreaking havoc in the yard. His owner surrendered him to LRRNT at 11 months. Sampson became an "inside" dog with his foster home and quickly learned house manners and how to navigate stairs. He is a sweet boy and just loves to be hugged and cuddled. He is now enjoying a forever home along with a cat named Victoria.
Adopted!! "Dale"		Dale was a 15 month old chocolate male who weighed in at 98 pounds. He had attended obedience school and had good house manners. His owner had to work increasingly longer hours so Dale spent more than two thirds of his day in a crate. Leaving him in the backyard didn't work out. He would dig out and then sit by the gate waiting for his owner to come home. His owner decided that Dale needed a better life so he is now living with a family with a 7 and 9 year boy and accompanies the family wherever they go.
Adopted!! "Duke"		Duke is a 6 month old black Lab and another "outside" dog who entertained himself by chewing sprinkler heads and digging. The owner was unwilling to bring the dog inside or to use a crate. Within days Duke was placed with a wonderful "forever home".
