Hercules, Labrador retriever mix
Hercules is a male Labrador retriever mix being kept at Lucky Dog Animal Rescue.
Hercules is the life of the party — he loves other dogs and cats. He's vaccinated, and he's been neutered. He's still working on getting house trained.
From Hercules's caretaker:
Hercules needs a foster or forever home! He gets along with other pups and is okay with cats. We aren't sure about kids yet, but we can always test for it! He's looking for a family who can keep me strong and help me be healthy forever. He's currently living at a shelter in Hawaii. We don't know how he ended up in this shelter, and while Hawaii is a nice place, an even nicer place would be a forever home.

Molly, Labrador retriever mix
Molly is a female Labrador retriever mix currently residing at Lucky Dog Animal Rescue.
Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's been spayed. She's still working on getting house trained.
No other dogs, please: Molly is looking for family.
From Molly's caretaker:
Molly is particular about her dog friends. We haven't seen her around cats yet. Molly would do best in a quiet home without other dogs and with no kids under 15. She is particular about the dogs she likes and can be reactive to some dogs. She's looking for a family who will have the patience to work with her on the things that make her nervous. She likes long walks and loves to play and cuddle with her humans!

Pup Daisy, boxer mix
Pup Daisy is a female boxer mix currently residing at K-9 Lifesavers.
Pup Daisy is ready to make friends — she's happy to keep company with other dogs. Her vaccinations are up to date, but she hasn't been spayed yet. She's still working on getting house trained.
From Pup Daisy's caretaker:
Pup Daisy is a playful little girl anxious to learn. She would make a great pet for a family. Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Tootsie is a little guy who is just as cute as can be and is an absolute delight! He is settling in very well. He listens very well. He is not at all shy and greets people and other dogs with enthusiasm. He is also with kids. I have not seen him with very little ones but has enjoyed the ones he has been with. He is food motivated so should make training easy.

Lilo, shepherd mix
Lilo is a female shepherd mix being cared for at K-9 Lifesavers.
Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she's been spayed. She still needs some guidance on proper house training.
Contact K-9 Lifesavers for information about Lilo's compatibility with kids and other pets.
From Lilo's caretaker:
Lilo is very sweet. She is good with others dogs, though she can be shy initially. It doesn't take her long to warm up and then she gets really playful. Lilo is heartworm positive but the cost of the treatment is being covered so don't let this deter you from meeting her. She deserves a second chance at a happy home!
