Tilly – Black Female mix, 2 years, 76 lbs.

Meet Tilly! 🖤

Tilly is a gorgeous black Labrador mix who is ready to find the forever family she truly deserves.

This sweet, affectionate girl has so much love to give. Tilly adores people, is wonderful with children, and loves being included in whatever her family is doing. Whether it's joining you on an adventure, relaxing at your feet, or soaking up belly rubs, she's happiest simply being by your side.

Tilly was adopted last year and thought she had found her happily ever after. Unfortunately, the home had an older resident dog who found it difficult to adjust to having a young, energetic companion. Despite everyone's best efforts, it simply wasn't the right match. Through no fault of her own, Tilly has returned to the rescue and is once again looking for the family she was meant to have.

About a year ago, Tilly did well with her foster family's cat. However, it has been some time since then, and we cannot guarantee how she would do with felines today. As with any dog, careful introductions and supervision are always recommended.

If you're searching for a loyal companion with the perfect balance of playful energy and affectionate devotion, Tilly may be exactly the dog you've been waiting for. She will thrive with a family that can provide plenty of love, daily exercise, continued guidance, and, most importantly, make her a cherished member of the family.

Tilly has already proven that she has a heart full of love—now she just needs someone to share it with. Could that be you?. www.labrescuefresno.org

Maverick – Black Male Mix, 1.5 years, 60 lbs. (on site soon)

With a name like Maverick, you'd expect a fearless adventurer. Instead, we got the sweetest, goofiest oversized puppy who is convinced the world is just a tiny bit scary... until he realizes there are people to love on!

Maverick is being surrendered through absolutely no fault of his own. Because we are currently short on foster homes, he will remain with his owners while we help him find the perfect forever family.

As we often do with owner-surrender dogs, one of our volunteers took Maverick out for a day of adventures so we could get to know his personality and better match him with the right home.

At first, Maverick was understandably nervous. New places and new experiences made him a little unsure of himself. But it didn't take long before he discovered that outings could actually be a lot of fun! His favorite part? Meeting absolutely everyone. This friendly boy believes every stranger is simply a friend he hasn't met yet.

He proudly picked out a brand-new toy at PetSmart and even found two little girls he was hoping would take him home on the spot.

Our volunteer shared:
"He's still learning the ropes when it comes to walking on a leash and he needs to build a little confidence, but his love for life and his desire for affection completely win you over. He's a really nice dog, and I think he would fit into almost any household. 'Sit' isn't quite in his vocabulary yet, but he's a quick learner. Once he realized I was there to keep him safe, it was amazing to watch his confidence grow in just a couple of hours."

Maverick currently lives with children and a cat and does wonderfully with both. He was crate trained as a puppy but has earned the privilege of being trusted to free roam the house.

We aren't sure what breeds make up this handsome boy. He was originally adopted from the shelter after being found as a stray at just 6 months old. Now, through no fault of his own, he is once again searching for a family to call his own.

Maverick deserves the stability and unconditional love every dog dreams of. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will reward a little patience with a lifetime of love, Maverick may be your perfect match.

Please fill out an adoption application on our website if you think Maverick belongs in your family. www.labrescuefresno.org
