GGLRR foster homes are often full when we find special Labs who we think deserve a chance. These Labs are in the process of getting into our program (evaluation, vet visit, etc) and having a foster identified gets us one step further in finding a forever home.
Find out more about about fostering with GGLRR and contact the rep listed if you are interested in helping in this key way. These Labs will be added to our Labs Available page when they are ready for adoption.
Additional fosters needed, can be found on the adoption page.
Bullwinkle ~8-year-old neutered male black Lab/hound mix
Background: Found as a stray on the streets of Contra Costa County, he came to the shelter very underweight. The shelter named him "Bullwinkle". No one came to claim him... and his time almost ran out at the shelter. A local dog rescue advocate told us about him, and we are jumping at the opportunity to get him out of the shelter and into a foster home enroute a permanent forever home.
What Bullwinkle's Rescue Rep Says:The above video says it all. Looking for a foster home with minimal steps/stairs. Presence of another dog would be fine. A calm quiet foster home would be best for him. Takes him a while to warmup to people. One slow neighborhood walk per day would be great for Bullwinkle.
Medical:Current on vaccinations, microchipped. Bullwinkle just got neutered. We suspect he is dealing with some arthritis in his back legs/hips. Clearly, Bullwinkle needs to put on some weight. We'll get him to a vet soonest for a full check-up.
Located in: Contra Costa County Animal Services in Martinez.
If you can foster Bullwinkle, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net
Our volunteers donate their personal time & phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
