Labrador Retriever
Tarka - 8 year old female Labrador Retriever
Tarka is a 8 year old chocolate Labrador female, who has had a very sad background! She was used to breed from and never taken out for socialising and walks, although Tarka is very friendly she does show typical behaviour of an animal who has been shut up for most of their life, such as walking round in circles when kennelled and not being able to settle quickly!
This is a problem which needs a really understanding owner to try to help Tarka learn to settle in new environment. Tarka will need someone at home during the day to teach her to be left and she will also need house training, she can live with older children, cats and dogs. Tarka is a really sweet dog who deserves someone to show her that there is a world outside of her kennel!

Lulu is a 5 year old female Labrador, unfortunately Lulu has been with us for a very long time and has spent the time in kennels. She will shortly be going into a foster home. Recently she was diagnosed with a slipping patella, the knee joint pops in and out.
This can causes her some discomfort in a slight limp but we have been informed by the vet that at the moment there is not a need for her to be operated on.
Currently she leads a normal life she is great with other dogs, she is strong on the lead but this is of course due to her limited excercise. She is good with children but unfortunately we are unaware what she is like with cats etc.

Hugo 11 month old black Labrador male. Hugo is a lovely pup, very bouncy and overweight. He comes from working lines, hence his hyper behaviour. He broke his leg just before Christmas and it is pinned in two places. He has recovered well and signed off by the vet. He has no limp and uses the leg normally. I have looked at it very carefully, and can see nothing untoward in his use of it.
I would anticipate it causing him no trouble, although obviously arthritis may be a problem in old age. He is exercised fully with their other dog. He will need ongoing training as the owners have really let this lapse. He is being rehomed as his owners had two 11 month old dogs in a small house and work a lot.
The dogs are competing for attention and ultimately top dog position as they mature. They have made the decision to rehome Hugo who is the more boisterous of the two.
The type of home we’re looking to place Hugo in is an active home due to his lineage. Observing him I could tell he is a very intelligent dog who likes to be on the go and occupied. He has not lived with children as the owners children are grown up.
He behaves well around children, although slightly wary of very small ones, purely as he has had no contact with them. He would suit a home where he is the only dog due to his leg but would be suitable for an older bitch who could tolerate his boisterous.

This is Honey, she is an 8 1/2 year old yellow Labrador female. She is good with other dogs and is great with children.
She does unfortunately have a problem with her eyesight. As her eyesight is cloudy she is unsure in the dark as she cannot recognise some things.
She is very good with other dogs, doesn’t pull on the lead. Very apprehensive of going for walks, but once carried/dragged out she trots along quite happily in bursts, but will sit down and refuse to move if she thinks she wants to go home! Not a lively lady.
She is now eating well, but is very unsure on laminate/tiled floors, her poor little body freezes and she will avoid them at all costs. Foster carer has put rugs down in her kitchen, so she can get some purchase with her paws. Apparently she is realy enjoying the love and affection she is getting, she lays her head on your lap and gazes up at you - what a sweetheart.
This lady just wants a quiet home, with tons of love, she’s not bothered about long walks - she will return this love ten fold. The type of home we are looking for will offer a very patient, loving home. NO small children who would run around and unsettle her, although she is great with them.
Ideally a couple who would devote their time to her, maybe another elderly steady dog who could show her how to enjoy life again.
27Mar2008 | Labrador Rescue South East and Central | READ MOREJoe
Meet Joe, he is an 11 month old castrated male Labrador Retriever that was brought back to Bath Cats & Dogs Home in October 2007 after only six weeks as his owner was ill and unable to look after him. Originally Joe arrived in early August as a stray.
Young and active Joe has endless energy so will need someone who can give him plenty of exercise and stimulation. He is very friendly to everyone he meets although can be excitable and a little over the top at times. Enjoying his walks he is very playful on the lead and tends to pull, so needs further lead work and the use of a halti.
Joe knows a few commands but will definitely need further training as he is extremely boisterous, however he is eager to please and very food orientated so shouldn’t be too difficult to learn new commands. He adores playing, loving his toys; is crazy about his food and is an extremely greedy eater, always looking for more!
Joe would suit someone who can be at home with him during the day as he is still very young and has become a little destructive through boredom moving his blankets around, so has been crate trained to help; however, is calm and quiet when left for short periods.
Joe tends to bark at dogs when first introduced, however has been mixed successfully with some dogs, proving to be playful with the more boisterous kind. He needs a home without cats as he chases them and with the right training Joe will make a fantastic family pet, however would probably be better to be homed with children aged 14+ due to his boisterousness. Joe loves to be the centre of attention and is definitely a people dog, enjoying all the fuss.
Can you offer our youngster a new active home where he can have fun?

Big beautiful Ned is a 5 year old male Labrador (possibly with a bit of Collie in his parentage due to the white flash on his chest). Ned is looking for a new home due to worsening allergies in the family. He needs to come out of the family home very soon.
He is a fun loving biddable dog who will do anything for a biscuit. Ned will make a very loyal dog he loves company, no health problems but could do with losing a little weight perhaps.
