Important update: Loving Labs looking for homes

As many of you know, we closed our kennel in 2023. Since then, both of us have transitioned into full-time work outside the home. As much as it breaks our hearts, we’ve come to the difficult decision that we can no longer give the time, care, and attention that our Labrador Retrievers deserve.

We are now looking to rehome multiple adult Labrador Retrievers, and Golden Retrievers, ages 3 to 6 years old. These dogs have been loved and well cared for, and we are committed to making sure they go to safe, stable, and loving homes.

To help with this, we are:
• Asking a small rehoming fee (to ensure serious inquiries only)

• Requiring interested families to fill out an application

This helps us understand your home, experience with large breeds, and lifestyle to make the best matches possible.

We are looking for families who:
• Are familiar with large breed dogs
• Have a fenced yard (preferred)
• May or may not have small children or other pets (we’ll match accordingly)
• Understand there may be some potty training regression or adjustment time
• Are truly ready to welcome a Lab into their lives

If you or someone you know is looking to open their heart and home to a Labrador, please reach out. We’ll provide more details and the questionnaire.

These dogs deserve a home where they can thrive—and we’re hoping you can help us find them.

Thank you for understanding and for your support during this transition.

Atlas has been at his forever home for less than a week.

His mama said “He’s completely potty trained, and sleeps in his crate all through the night. Perfect boy.”

Atlas has a few more siblings who are still looking for a family. Rehoming has been reduced to $100.

Adoption applications can be found at www.riovistaretrievers.com

We still have a few puppies from Andy & Rosie who need families.

Hey friends—

All is well with our puppies. Thank you everyonee who has reached out and checked on the babies the past few days.

We apologize for the lack of updates, we’ve had an unexpected death in our family and we’re juggling a lot at the moment.

All of our puppies are doing great, no symptoms, full recoveries, and will be ready for adoption next week! ❤️

Update for Rosie’s litter.

We have very happy news to report— symptoms have lessened for all seven puppies!!

Everyone has spent their Christmas morning wrestling, playing, and tugging each others ears.

We have no lethargy, no declining, no vomiting, and minimal diarrhea, and most importantly, we have made it 24 hours without a puppy passing which believe it or not—is a huge feat!

We are extremely impressed with the monoclonal antibody therapy and the results!

On Wednesday the 14 day countdown will begin and at the end- these babies will be ready to go to forever homes.

We did it y’all. We saved these babies. ❤️

Merry Christmas from Rio Vista Retrievers! 🎄

🎄 Praying this is our Christmas Miracle! 🎄

We have raised enough money to cover almost 5 of the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody vaccines.
All 7 puppies received the vaccine yesterday around 3pm.

Before the vaccine all 7 puppies were having symptoms including vomiting and bloody diarrhea.

Within hours we noticed a change in their bowel movements and today we are not seeing any declining!

We still have 3 puppies who are receiving symptomatic treatment mainly subcutaneous fluids, and anti-nausea medication, but today they are still eating and drinking.

We’re not out of the woods yet — but we’re extremely hopeful!!

Supplies and sustaining medications are still needed & donations are still being accepted via Venmo or Gofundme!

In one day we raised enough to get 3 of the puppies the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody vaccine.

We’re almost halfway there!

This new antibody treatment binds to the parvovirus and blocks it from entering and destroying the enterocytes! The destruction and of the enterocytes is how this virus kills. It causes profuse vomiting and diarrhea leading to severe dehydration, organ damage, and death.

The vaccine with supportive care is our puppies best chance at survival.

Donations are still being accepted via Venmo or Gofundme!

Rio Vista Retrievers

Rio Vista Retrievers are dedicated to improving the Labrador Retriever breed through selective breeding. Our three pets reside primarily indoors. They have been raised with smaller dogs, larger dogs, cats, and children. They have attended obedience school and their temperaments have been closely watched to ensure that any offspring will not inherit negative traits. Our dogs are well socialized and go on weekly trips to dog friendly stores such as Petsmart and Lowes, as well as frequent visits to dog parks.

All of out labradors are AKC registered and are cleared of genetic diseases through parent DNA testing. Elbow and hip certifications will be completed once they reach age 2. Puppies purchased from Rio Vista Retrievers include a health guarantee.

Our labradors include West’s Bailey Tuck, or “Bailey”. Bailey was bread in Berea Ky and is the great-grand daughter of an AKC Field Champion, Amateur Field Champion, and a Master Hunter. Bailey’s paternal grand parents also include two additional Master Hunters. Bailey has high energy levels and a her impressive pedigree shows through in her high prey-drive driven games of fetch.
