Cooper
Cooper was our fourth SHLR dog and the one we loved the longest. We typically adopt senior labs to give them the best golden years possible. But, Coop was an exception. He had us at "Hello" and never let us go. We were honored to [...]
Daisy (formerly known as Winnie)
Life is great for Daisy (formerly known as Winnie). She is the cuddliest dog ever (perhaps some Vizsla hidden in those genes?), loves to play with her new big sister, gets to romp twice daily through the mountain trails, and has learned about trout. She’ll [...]
Bella (formerly Daisy)
We adopted Bella (formally Daisy) on February 24, 2025. She is such a kind, loving companion. She always has a smile on her face. Her favorite activity is going on daily walks in the neighborhood or the dog park. She quickly became a valued member [...]
In Memory of “Hayden”
Donated in honor of our sweet boy, Hayden. He was our good boy for over 14 years. You are missed and our house is quiet without you.
Hayden (formerly known as Fudge)

We adopted our little black beauty named Stella on 2/28/14. She came to us literally on the day of our 16th wedding anniversary and there is never going to be another present to top it. When we first got her, she was a shy, scared, [...]
Ladybug
It turns out that Chris and Adam's new pup is a little bit of this and a bit more of that, with a nice-sized dollop of Labrador mixed in with other fabulous breeds to create the cleverest and loveliest of Ladybugs! Despite her impressive heritage, [...]
Murphy (formerly known as Brody)
Kathy and Chris brought a handsome two-year-old Lab named Brody home to foster while he looked for a forever home. Before long, Brody became Murphy, and it was clear he would not be packing up and moving ever again. Murphy's new parents tell us: We [...]
Honey
Twas the night before Christmas and Honey had just arrived at Preston's house. Honey didn't come down the chimney or suddenly appear under the tree, but this lovely three-year-old Lab girl is the gift that will keep on giving forever. She quickly settled in and [...]
Yoshi
Yoshi arrived at Claudia and Bob's house as a foster dog, just looking for a temporary place to hang his leash and store his bowl while he sniffed around for a forever home. After a while, the "foster" part of the equation began to fade [...]
