Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Atherton, California

Meet Misty, a wise and wonderful shepherd lab mix who’s nearing her 15th year. Misty embodies the grace and wisdom that only come with age. She’s spent her life being a loyal companion, and now she’s ready to find a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years. Like many seniors, Misty has faced a few challenges along the way. She’s a bit wary of strangers, especially when she’s not feeling her best. She is also selective about her doggie friends, sometimes feeling protective of her space or getting frustrated when on a leash. But don’t let that fool you—beneath it all, Misty has a heart of gold. Misty is looking for a special someone who understands the quirks that come with being a senior dog. She thrives in a calm, patient environment where she can relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of life—like a cozy bed, gentle ear rubs, and the warmth of a loving home. If you’re ready to open your heart to a senior dog who has so much love left to give, Misty is waiting to meet you. She may have a few extra needs, but she’ll reward you with endless loyalty and affection. Meet Misty, a wise and wonderful shepherd lab mix who’s nearing her 15th year.

Boogie is a 78 lbs 7 year old black lab mix who is ready for his forever family or even someone who can foster him until we find him his permanent home. He is a big gentle softie with a heart of gold. Boogie has been coming out of his shell over the last week and now seeks human love and attention. He is relaxed and happy to snooze in his own. Boogie will fall asleep if you give him head scratches! He is very food-oriented and is quickly learning commands for treats. He is potty-trained and has excellent house manners. He loves his walks and does well on leash. He is very gentle towards smaller dogs (including my 32lb female dog), but particular with his canine companions but used to live with BABY who is also available for adoption separately or together. He is sweet and affectionate, low to medium energy, and ready to find a family that will love and take care of him

Gravy was rescued from the shelter with her sister, Biscuit. We don’t know how they landed in the shelter but we promised to find them the best forever homes in the world. We expect they will be in the medium range when they reach their adult weight. If you’re in the mood for a tasty treat, adopt Miss Gravy!      Gravy is an affectionate and playful puppy who can’t wait to take on the world with her people. She is super smart and food motivated which means training will be a blast. Gravy has never met a stranger she hasn’t charmed effortlessly and we know she will be the star of every park she enters. Gravy thinks she’s a total lapdog and even though she’s getting a bit too big for laps, she’s so darn cute we can’t bear to burst her bubble. Gravy loves playing with her toys and her humans and will happily race around for hours. She would be an amazing addition to an active home who wants to go on adventures with a furry friend! She will give you so many kisses you’ll be able to take them to the bank! We are looking for homes who are prepared to take on all that is large breed puppyhood. Those who know Lab mixes will know how incredible she will be as she grows up. With her floppy ears and her puppy dog eyes, you’ll fall in love with Gravy from the minute you meet her!  Gravy wakes up at 7 AM and enjoys some playtime before she has her breakfast. She plays in the front yard of her foster home for an hour or so with her sister and her toys before coming inside for a long nap. She has a light lunch followed by some playtime and cuddles. This cycle repeats for the rest of the afternoon until dinner around 7 PM. In the evening, she plays some more until she’s all tired and ready for bed in her pen.  Gravy has been well socialized with dogs of varying ages and sizes. She would love a playful companion in her forever home. Interested homes should be prepared to discuss continued training and socialization plans. She adores humans of all ages and would be an amazing addition to any home. We can’t wait for Gravy to find her buttery forever home!      Gravy is only an option for homes who have owned a dog of their own in the last 5 years. Kids should be over the age of 6.March 21, 2025, 7:36 pm

The Lunar Puppies were named in honor of the Chinese New Year, a celebration of new beginnings, luck, and—of course—little dragons! One by one, Luna’s brothers found their forever homes, leaving this sweet, cuddly, and playful girl as the last little dragon standing. But don’t worry—she’s been saving all her love, zoomies, and puppy kisses just for you! At 13-14 weeks old, Luna is a Lab/Pit mix with a heart as big as the moon she’s named after. She’s the perfect blend of playful and snuggly, always up for a romp in the yard but just as happy curling up for cuddles afterward. With a gentle, intelligent nature, she’s a pup who loves to learn, loves her people, and absolutely loves belly rubs. A Day in the Life of a Little Dragon 7:00 AM – Rise and shine! Luna starts the day with a big stretch, a happy tail wag, and a trip outside for breakfast and zoomies. She zips around the yard, collecting sticks, chasing invisible butterflies, and making sure the world knows she’s awake and ready for fun! 9:00 AM – After all that excitement, it’s time for a power nap. Snuggled up in a cozy spot, Luna dreams of treats, belly rubs, and future best friends. 12:00 PM – Lunchtime! After eating, she plays quietly with her toys, practicing her expert-level skills in stuffie-wrestling and chew-bone gnawing. 3:00 PM – The kids get home—hooray! This means more playtime, more attention, and more love! She thrives on social time and adores every person she meets. 6:00 PM – Dinner is served, followed by one last evening adventure in the yard. She watches the sunset, contemplates the meaning of life (or maybe just the next treat), and gets in some final wiggles before winding down. 10:00 PM – Bedtime! Luna snuggles up in her cozy playpen, dreaming of the adventures tomorrow will bring. Why Luna is Out of This World Amazing Super social – Raised in a foster home full of kids, cats, and even birds, Luna is well-adjusted, friendly, and ready to fit right into your family! Smart and sweet – She’s already pee-pad trained in her pen and learning to potty outside. With her eager-to-please personality, she’ll be a training superstar in no time! The perfect balance – Playful, but not hyper. Affectionate, but not overly needy. She’s got that just-right puppy energy that makes her a joy to be around. Cuddle prodigy – After a long day of fun, Luna transforms into a snuggle champion, happy to curl up next to you for a nap. The Forever Home She’s Wishing For Luna is looking for a family that will cherish her puppyhood, continue her training, and give her all the love she deserves. She’ll be a medium-sized dog when fully grown and will thrive in a home that enjoys both adventure and snuggles. Whether you have kids, other dogs, or even a friendly cat, Luna is ready to fit right in! If you’re ready to bring a little moonlight and magic into your life, Luna is ready to shine as your newest family member.

Egg’s journey hasn't been an easy one. This 1-2 year old, 27 lb (mini) Lab/Italian Greyhound type mix was rescued from the streets while heavily pregnant, bravely giving birth to seven healthy puppies in our care. Now that her babies have been weaned and are almost ready for adoption, it’s Egg’s turn to experience the love and security she’s always deserved. When first meeting new people, Egg can be unsure, but typically within only an hour or two, she’s taking treats (she's a foodie!) and approaching for pets. She’s looking for a family that understands she needs time to warm up—but once she trusts you, she’s incredibly affectionate and loves belly rubs and ear scratches! She'll happily snuggle with you on the couch and keep you company while you work from home. Egg is still learning how to be a dog, and she’s making great progress in her foster home. She thrives on routine and enjoys spending time in her x-pen where she can observe her people. She is a big fan of bully sticks and other chews and will contentedly chill there while her foster works. She’s quiet and content as long as she can see her human, but she does get a bit anxious when left alone. She’s had a lot of transition in a short time, so insecurity is to be expected! This girl loves to run! (Must be the greyhound side of her!) Whether she’s chasing a ball or zooming around the yard like a jackrabbit, she has energy to burn. She enjoys three long walks a day and is a curious little “metal detector” on leash, zigzagging to sniff everything. She’s good at passing people and dogs on walks but can be wary of sudden noises or fast-moving objects like bikes and skateboards. Given that she came from a remote area, this isn’t surprising! Egg will bond strongly to one human and it will then take bit more time for others to win her over. She’s making progress with structure and consistency. She may be a great fit for a home with a calm, confident dog who can help her learn the ropes, but she could also thrive as the only pet. She has lived with a cat in her foster home and can coexist peacefully, though slow introductions are key. Due to her initial fears, Egg is best suited for an adult home or one with dog-savvy teens who can respect her need for space as she adjusts. Egg will eagerly reward her future family with loyalty, devotion, and plenty of goofy zoomies. If you’re looking for a dog with a heart full of potential and a story of resilience, Egg might just be the perfect addition to your home. Could you be the one to give Egg the safe, loving forever home she’s been waiting for?  March 21, 2025, 7:36 pm

The Egg puppies are a delightful batch of 8 week old miniature Labrador Retriever mix pups, possibly with a dash of something small (maybe Italian Greyhound—or let’s not beat around the whisk, it could be anything… Mom is just 27 lbs!). These little egglets are cracking up with excitement to make their menu debut and find their forever homes! This litter came to us at only 4 days old with Mama Egg, who gave birth in the yard of an amazing lifesaver. We took the family in, and life got scrambling from there! With 4 boys and 4 girls, each cuter than the last, we expect these pups to reach about 25-35 pounds when fully grown. If you’re ready for a dish full of kisses and love, come to our Egg Bar today! Meet the Egg-ceptional Puppies: Benedict (M): Benedict is the big brother of the litter, and he takes his role very seriously—like a true Eggs-ecutive! He perches at the top of the puppy pile like a poached prince, keeping a watchful eye over his siblings. First one out the door in the morning, he’s always egg-cited to lead new adventures. But don’t let his confidence fool you—he’s a total soft-boiled sweetheart who will melt in your arms for snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will always be sunny-side-up in your life, Benedict is your guy! Hard Boiled (F): Don’t let the name fool you—Hard Boiled is as soft and lovable as they come! She’s got a heart as warm as a perfectly cooked yolk and a sense of adventure that keeps her bouncing from one discovery to the next. When she’s not playfully romping around with her siblings, she’s cracking up her foster family with her goofy antics. And after all that fun, she’s always ready to curl up for some shell-tered snuggles. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds—playful and affectionate—Hard Boiled is the perfect choice! Omelet (M): Omelet is proof that good things come in small packages! This little egghead is a tiny dynamo, always stirring up fun and whisking his siblings into playful chaos. Whether he’s pouncing on toys or sneaking into laps for an Eggs-tra cuddle, he’s got a way of making every moment egg-stra special. When playtime is over, Omelet enjoys a good, cozy nap—curled up like the fluffiest, warmest breakfast dish you’ve ever seen. Ready to add some flavor to your life? Omelet is ready to be served! Over Easy (M): With his soulful blue eyes and egg-ceptionally gentle nature, Over Easy is the cuddle king of the litter. He’s the first to flop into your lap for love and the last to leave, soaking up every bit of attention like a warm, buttery biscuit. He’s also got a love for adventure and isn’t afraid to get a little scrambled in the mud! His signature move? Placing a paw on your arm like he’s ordering extra snuggles—because he knows you can’t resist. If you’re looking for a puppy who will always keep things warm and cozy, Over Easy is ready to slide right into your heart. Poached (M): This little guy is always up to something! Poached is an eggs-pert at hide and seek, though his ever-wagging tail usually gives him away. He’s got a way of cracking up everyone he meets, whether it’s with his zoomies, his goofy expressions, or his habit of sneaking off with socks. With a heart full of playfulness and a nose for adventure, Poached is ready to scramble into a fun-loving home that will keep up with his playful energy. Don’t miss your chance to poach this little treasure! Scrambled (F): Scrambled is an absolute hoot—always on the go, always making people laugh, and always the star of the show! With her stunning blue eyes and wiggly, wacky personality, she knows how to ham it up for the camera. She loves zooming around with toys in her mouth, tossing them in the air, and making sure everyone is watching her latest performance. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you entertained, keep you on your toes, and fill your life with joy, Scrambled is the perfect addition to your plate! Sunny Side Up (F): Sunny is pure sunshine in puppy form. A cuddle bug through and through, she lives for belly rubs and basking in attention. If she feels like she’s not getting enough love, she’ll flop onto her back like a perfectly cooked egg, waiting for the adoration she knows she deserves. With her sweet personality and irresistible puppy dog eyes, she’s destined to be the center of attention everywhere she goes. If you’re ready for a daily dose of sunshine, let Sunny Side Up brighten your world! A Day in the Life of the Egg Puppies: The puppies start their day at 7 AM, scrambling outside for potty time before returning for breakfast and some good old-fashioned puppy wrestling. Throughout the day, they engage in important activities like zoomies, toy thievery, and practicing their best puppy-dog eyes for extra treats. They spend their afternoons alternating between playtime and cozy naps, often piling on top of each other like the cutest omelet you’ve ever seen. In the evening, the house winds down with cuddle sessions, extra kisses, and one last potty break before they nestle into their crate for bedtime, dreaming of their future families. The Egg puppies currently live with a dog and cats, and they think both are absolutely egg-cellent! They love playing with their furry housemates (even if the resident pets aren’t always as egg-cited about it). Whether they’re gently booping the cat with their noses or learning the ropes from the older dog, these little eggs are eager to fit into any loving household. They’ll need continued training and socialization to ensure they grow into well-behaved, happy pups—but with their charm, they’ll crack your heart wide open in no time. If you're ready to bring home a little Egg to love, crack open an adoption application today!    March 22, 2025, 1:54 am
