Story
Violetta puts the More in Labs and More. She has short light colored fur and we believe she is a mix of Pug and Chihuahua. She is around 5 years old. Violetta is a sweet, tender hearted girl and perfect lap size. She is good with other dogs out and about but really prefers her people and space all to herself therefore we think she'd be happiest as the only dog in the home and isn't the best choice if you are looking for a social dog park dog. She is a quieter, mild mannered lady that enjoys her walks and snuggle time. She is housetrained in her current foster home and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Violetta, 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.

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.

Story
Meet Bowler! Bowler entered Orange County Animal Care as a stray. When he wasn't claimed, we scooped him up on January 15th. Bowler is estimated to be 10 years old, and he weighs 27 lbs. Bowler is a very sweet boy who does well with other, enjoys going for walks, and loves head scratches! Although he somehow ended up at the shelter, it's evident that Bowler has spent most of his life as a devoted companion. Bowler is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learned what he is like in a home. We are so happy this sweet boy is getting lots of love and pampering - just like he deserves! His Fling Mom reports: "Bowler is a wonderful pug! He is very chill and relaxed around my two pugs. He loves exploring the front and backyard both enclosed. He picked up our routines quickly by watching them. Bowler wants to be with his human, but when I am at work, he is happy to hang out with my dogs and did not have separation anxiety. Bowler is a very easy-going dog. I have never heard him bark. He makes lots of other pug sounds like chortling, but no barking. Bowler loves to go on a walk, ride in the car, or lay at your feet or on the couch. He likes to sleep in bed with me and my dogs. Bowler is not a picky eater and not reactive about food with my dogs. He likes treats and takes them gently out of your hand. When we went to my daughter's house to visit and have dinner, Bowler was very well-behaved and gentle with my 2 1/2 year old grandchild. He settled down and was comfortable with everyone there, and they loved him." Check back for the full report on Bowler's Fling!

How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on February 18, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Coco, a sweet and gentle boy who loves spending time with people. He walks well on a leash, making him a great companion for strolls around the neighborhood or relaxing outdoor adventures. Coco has a kind and affectionate nature and would love a home where he can share his warmth and companionship. Once settled Coco can be shy with new people he is not familiar with so it is important to take it slow and do a proper introduction. Come meet him and see what a wonderful friend he can be.

Adoption Event: Saturday 10/08/22 at Petsmart: 877 E H St, Chula Vista, CA 91910 From 3:30 to 6 pm - Come and meet our sweet, loving, funny pug puppy Chico:) he is a joy to have around. He loves people, kids, and loves to play with other dogs although when he first meets he barks at them because he wants to play. We encourage experience pug experience adopters to apply for him. He is a purebred baby boy who was being neglected by his previous owners, leaving him outside and not feeding him. In spite of this bad beginning for him, he is so amazingly lovable. His foster family loves him so much that they are offering to dog sit whenever his new family will need a dog sitter:) He is a small breed, and he is currently at 18 lbs - he has a nice shining black coat :) Chico loves to play with his toys, specially with balls, loves them:) he is very fast, and very active:) He is leashed trained - loves to go for walks and he is potty trained - however, he just got neutered and he will need to be redirected to his new potty training areas as he is still a puppy and changing environment of homes will need the additional guidance. He will not last long - we are taking appointments for this weekend - Are you ready to give him a forever home? If so, Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st way of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html . *Note: Our website has been giving us some issues - if you have a problem logging in please text Veronica at 619-576-0747.

Donation Adoption fee includes up-to-date yearly 3 puppy DHLPP vaccinations, spaying or neutering, deworming, flea medication, and a complementary health check up by a participating clinic near you. Please consider adopting one (or more!) of these fur babies! Due to high volume of calls; NO PHONE calls are accepted at this time - therefore, please text us or email us.- A minute of conscious - Please read:) We ask you Please to be SERIOUS adopters; as there have been so many people that are not ready. We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc. These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers.. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!
