Story
Tall and lean, Rufus is an athletic and intelligent boy with short tiger striped brindle fur, expressive ears, and a loyal heart. He is a little over a year old and he is a mix of Belgian Malinois Shepherd, Terrier and possibly Greyhound. True to the Malinois breed, he is very smart, bonds closely to his person, and is active. He likes to play with other dogs and does best with other dogs that can match his rough play style. He is housetrained and crate trained in his current foster home. Rufus takes a moment to warm up to new people and does best when he can approach you on his terms. Once he gets a chance to know you, he bonds very closely and is very affectionate. He is eager to please and loves to go to training classes. He has already learned 10 commands and would be a great dog for a person that wants a working breed. He would love to be your new running buddy and would be a great agility dog. Rufus would benefit from a more active family and one that will continue his training and socialization. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Rufus, then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt. Please email us at I doginfo@labsandmore.org if you need assistance. Thank you for looking to a rescue group to fulfill your dream of adding a new dog to your life!

Story
Fiona IS AVAILALBE (updated 03-07-2025).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Fiona, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22531&name=FionaFiona came to us with one of her pups. They were being given away &#39free to good home&#39 and were rescued by an animal lover who didn&#39t want to see them land in the wrong hands! Fiona settled into the kennel life very easily and charmed her way into the hearts of all of the volunteers. She needed treatment for a cancerous tumor that she likely got when she became pregnant with her pups.The good news here is that she is done with her treatments and has been cancer free for over 6 months! Yay for Fiona! Fiona would love a home to call her own. She has been to obedience training, knows all her basic commands and walks well on a leash.She would do best in a home with older kids and no other dogs or cats. She loves car rides and would love an active lifestyle!If Fiona sounds like a fit for you, please let us know. We would love to chat with you about Fiona!The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.March 7, 2025, 4:39 pm

Story
Our son found her running on the streets up in the hills in Fallbrook on August 28, 2023. She looked to be about 6 months old then so she would be around 2 years old now. We posted "found" posters online and searched for her owner on different platforms but never found anyone. We lived in a big house that she had the run of in Vista and she was able to run around the property, chase ducks, jump into the lake and swim with the kids in the pool. We have since had to move in with a family member in Poway who will no longer allow us to keep the dog. She is very energetic but tires out quickly. She loves love and if she could she would spend every minute being with you or another dog. Her best friend was a huge mastiff that she would run around and play with. She is a good listener and sits and comes on command. We think she would do excellent with some training!
