Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue

My name is Buddie and I finally found my Home Sweet Home! At 6 years old, I never even knew what a home was before since I lived outside at a Kennel. When my new parents picked me up, I got so many baths and spa treatments when I got home since I was quite full of fleas and a yucky kennel smell. I then just got to s...ee how truly handsome I was after seeing my reflection in their oven door, I now see why they picked me specially out of all the other cute pups on the Brookline Website.

In my new home, I have a fur brother named Syrus, we have warmed up to each other nicely and take naps in sync. Mom takes me on walks and I like to behave
so we keep exploring the neighborhood. I also get to go to my other home in the mountains where I get lots of R&R. I get lots of rides in the car too! Way cool!

I had a hard time at first getting used to living in a home and wasn’t sure where and when it was ok to go to the poddy, but with lots of love and patience, it’s coming along. I want nothing more to please my new parents since I have found my furrever home. Life is pretty great and I am glad that Brookline helped me find my new “Furrever” family.Read More

Hi my name is Maverick and I came into foster care in July of 2009. When I arrived, there were not one, not two but six canines waiting to meet me. Well to say the least I was a little nervous. You see I am 5 years old and last year was very hard. I was a healthy lab and normal and then one day I had seizures that... left me drooling, shaking in my hind legs and not able to control my mouth. I would drop my meals on the floor because I had a hard time keeping food in my mouth. Even though I had been seizure free for a year my real mom
could not take care of me because we had a two year old and she got into my puddles of drool. So most of my time was spent in the garage. My original mom got me rehabbed physically but could not spend the time I dearly needed mentally.
Back to my foster parents. With the six pack in tow, my foster parents got me to use my jaw muscles A LOT! And now, thanks to my canine friends playing tug of war with me, I no longer drop any food on the floor! I can eat bigger treats without any trouble now…. I go slowly ….and I can drop any object with the command of ‘drop’! The six pack adopted me to make it a seven pack and I am never allowed to go into our garage no matter what. Thank you Brookline for helping save me.Read More
