Clover and Shamrock came to us from a high kill shelter.  Imaging these sweet babies in a shelter just breaks your heart.

 

They are Lab puppies so just as you would expect they are great with kids, people and other dogs.

 

They both have demodex mange and have been struggling with it since they have been with us. They are currently much better but are not 100% yet. We feel that if they are adopted that will need  continued medical care to handle their skin problems. Were hoping someone wants to care for some speical needs pups?

 

08.21.10 Volunteer Update:  I saw Clover at a park today.  She is great with other dogs!  You can see her interaction with them in her video.  She loves to chase the ball with her big Lab foster brother.  This park is not fenced in but she was very aware of her foster mom's presence and never ran off.  Clover is starting to look more and more like a beautiful Shar Pei rather than a Lab.  Her fur is looking good too.  Her foster mom appears to be taking good care of her and bathing her with her special shampoo as needed right now.

 

08.21.10 Foster Update:  Clover is a wonderful, loving puppy. She has a very sweet nature and loves to chase the ball with my other dog. She is crate training and does well. She sleeps through the night in her crate. She walks well on a leash and is fairly obedient. She wants to please and learns pretty quickly. She likes to play with toys and loves to have a chewie toy. We have cats in our house and she wants to play with them but they are not too keen on playing with a dog. She goes to the park and plays well with other dogs. She would make a wonderful companion as she seems very loyal.

 

 

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
