Lacy, Labrador retriever mix
Lacy is a female Labrador retriever mix currently housed at Atlanta Lab Rescue.
Lacy is a social butterfly, and she'll get along great with other dogs. She has all of her shots and she is spayed.
From Lacy's current caretaker:
Lacy is a 4-year-old, 60-pound Lab who was picked up by animal control in Alabama. She's about as close to perfection as they come! She loaded easily into the car and rode really well, fell at my feet right away for belly rubs, takes treats gently, seems to be housebroken and is great with our dogs and everyone she meets.

Buster, Labrador retriever mix
Buster is a male Labrador retriever mix being kept at Atlanta Lab Rescue.
Buster loves other dogs. He is neutered and vaccinated.
Notes from Buster's caretakers:
Buster is a 6-year-old, 80-pound Lab who was adopted from a shelter at the beginning of the year and then returned to the same shelter a few weeks ago when the owner moved. Buster is a very friendly, happy boy and doesn't seem any worse for the wear. He is good with other dogs and seems to be housetrained, and at his age he would probably have good house manners.

Casey, Pekingese
Casey is a male Pekingese being kept at Priceless Pets Atlanta.
Casey will get along great with your other dogs. Priceless Pets Atlanta, however, wants to place him in a home without small children. Fear not: He already is housetrained. He also is neutered and vaccinated.
Here's what Casey's friends at Priceless Pets Atlanta think of him:
Casey is a 6-year-old, 12-pound adorable male Pekingese whose family gave him up because they are in the business of fostering human children, and Casey was offended when his home was "invaded" by strangers. As a result, Casey was kept outdoors for a long time, and his family felt that he deserved a better life. Casey is a cute little imp. When we got him, he had some bad matting on his rear quarters and was pretty offended by our efforts to get rid of the mats. For that reason, we don't think Casey would be good for a family with small kids. When he went to the vet, we learned why Casey was so sensitive about the matted areas — he had open sores under those mats. The vet gave him antibiotics to help with the healing.

Duchess, Labrador retriever
Duchess is a female Labrador retriever staying at Atlanta Lab Rescue.
Duchess is the life of the party, and she'll get along great with other dogs. She's spayed and she has all her shots. She already is housetrained.
Duchess' current caretakers say:
Duchess is an 11-year-old (going on 4) purebred Lab who came from a breeder and lived her whole life with a family until an unfortunate recent incident where a toddler jumped on her while she was sound asleep and she awoke, startled and snapped at him. It's sad that she has lived her whole life with kids and loves kids, yet lost it all due to something she couldn't control and a reaction that any dog would have under the circumstances. If someone wants a healthy and active senior dog who loves people, other dogs and chasing a ball, then Duchess is the perfect dog for you.

Blair, Labrador retriever mix
Blair is a charming female Labrador retriever mix currently housed at Atlanta Lab Rescue.
She's already spayed and vaccinated. Fear not: She already is housetrained.
Notes from Blair's caretakers:
Blair is a 4-year-old, 50-pound Lab who came into a shelter in Alabama skin and bones and missing most of her hair. They found a foster home for her and she is now happy and looking like a different dog. She does not like stairs and we suspect that she has had some sort of hip injury. She is great in the house when left alone, and loves walks. She isn't aggressive about food or toys. She has a low-to-moderate activity level and low vocalization level, but will bark when alarmed.
