Meet Barley! 🌟
This little lady arrived from Mexico with a broken hip, likely from a car accident, but that hasn’t dimmed her spirit one bit! At around 1.5 years old and 20 lbs, Barley is a mix of Chihuahua, Spaniel, and Terrier—putting the “More” in Labs and More!
She’s got that classic Chihuahua energy—big personality in a small package. Barley bonds closely with her people and is a true cuddle bug who loves snuggling on the couch. While she gets along with the other dogs in her foster home, she can be a little bossy and prefers her space, so she might do best with more submissive dog friends or as the only dog in the home.
Barley also lives with dog-savvy cats and mostly ignores them. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night and is doing great with her housetraining. If you’re looking for a spunky, snuggly companion with a big heart, Barley might just be your perfect match! 🐾

If you’re interested in adding Barley to your family, your first step is completing the adoption questionnaire on our website. If you’re already working with an adoption coach, contacting them is your next step. Adopted from us before? If it’s been more than 6 months, please submit a new adoption questionnaire to update or confirm your info.

Meet Scrappy! He is about 11 months old and we believe he is a Lab mixed with a smaller breed such as Terrier. His mama was a Chihuahua mix but Scrappy is bigger than she is and is a great medium size at around 35 lbs. He is a friendly boy and bonds to his humans quickly and would prefer a home where his humans are home more often than not. He gets along with other dogs and would love a dog buddy in his future home to help him navigate the world and build his confidence. He's an energetic boy and may make a good running partner, though he equally enjoys a lazy cuddle session and is an expert snuggler.

You can meet Scrappy this Saturday Nov 16 from 9-11am at our special adoption event at NTC Park in Liberty Station as part of the Shelter to Soldier Paws of Gratitude Festival. If you're interested in adopting Scrappy, we recommend completing an adoption questionnaire on our website ahead of time. If you’re already working with an adoption coach, contacting them is your next step. Adopted from us before? If it’s been more than 6 months, please submit a new adoption questionnaire to update or confirm your info.

: where foster humans share the inside scoop on their foster dogs.

Fosters are the reason our rescue can exist. For every dog moved into a foster home, we’re able to pull at least one other who is out of time at a shelter, say yes to helping a dog living with nothing on the streets, or give a pregnant or nursing dog a safe place to care for her puppies. Thank you to all of our fosters!

If you are interested in adopting any of these dogs, your first step is completing the adoption questionnaire on our website. If you’re already working with one of our awesome adoption coaches, contacting them is your next step to set up a meet. Adopted from us before? If it’s been more than 6 months, please submit a new questionnaire to update or confirm your info.

After a long drive, we’ve made it to Urgent Care with these three sweet, rescued parvo puppies!

These precious pups were rescued from the streets of Long Beach and, after a long journey, we’ve just arrived at our vet urgent care hospital. They’re overwhelmed but already showing their gentle, loving personalities.

They’ve tested positive for parvovirus, a deadly virus that requires immediate and costly treatment. Labs and More is their only hope, and we're determined to get them the life-saving treatment they need.

Thanks to your generosity—including a $500 naming donation!—we were able to commit to their rescue. But their fight isn’t over. With treatment, they have a chance at recovery, but every dollar is crucial to make that happen.

Please help us reach our goal and give these puppies the future they deserve!

Please donate now.

🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED! 🚨

We just got an urgent call for three 6-month-old Lab puppies who have tested positive for Parvo.

For over a week, three terrified 6-month-old Lab puppies were seen weaving through traffic on the streets of Long Beach, desperately trying to find their way home. A compassionate passerby saw their struggle, picked them up, and brought them to a shelter. But once they arrived, it was clear something was very wrong. Tests confirmed our worst fear: these puppies have parvovirus, a life-threatening illness for young dogs.

Now, these scared, homeless pups face the second fight of their lives. We have until 9:00 AM tomorrow to commit to their rescue, and we can’t do it without your help.

Parvo treatment requires immediate and intensive care, and while the full cost will be more than $3,200, this amount will allow us to begin their life-saving treatment. This is an unexpected expense, but we refuse to let these puppies lose their chance at a future.

Can you help us save these pups?
* The first 3 donations of $500 get to name one of the puppies.
* Or donate $1,000, and you can name all three pups!

Time is running out. Every donation, big or small, makes a life-saving difference. Together, we can change their story and give them the future they deserve.

Please donate now.

Meet Monos! He is around 7 months old and about 60 lbs and we believe he is a Shepherd and possibly Hound and Terrier mix. He's a friendly and well mannered boy who is happy to accompany you to a brewery or just hang out at home for an afternoon nap and snuggles on the couch. He's well socialized with dogs and loves playing and would love a dog sibling in his forever home. Monos is learning the leash and his basic commands and manners. He walks well on leash by his foster dad's side with no pulling. He has been around dog savvy cats and done ok so with time, patience and a proper introduction, may be able to live in a home with a cat.

If you're interested in adopting Monos, your first step is completing the adoption questionnaire on our website. If you’re already working with an adoption coach, contacting them is your next step. Adopted from us before? If it’s been more than 6 months, please submit a new adoption questionnaire to update or confirm your info.

Cabo is ready to bring nonstop joy to his forever family! This 7-month-old Lab (and maybe Husky) mix is the ultimate jackpot for anyone looking for a loving, playful companion. He’s easygoing, friendly with everyone he meets, and especially loves playing with kids and other dogs. Cats are another story and way too fun to chase!
Cabo is a champ at housetraining and crate training in his foster home, and he rides like a pro in the car. He enjoys walks, cuddles up by his foster mom’s feet while she works, and is always up for some fun.

Over 320 Dog Lovers Ran, Walked, and Wowed at our 11th Annual Mutt Run! 🎃🐾

What an incredible day, thanks to each of YOU! We crossed that finish line not just in the race but in raising hope for countless dogs waiting for their chance to run free.

We came soooo close to our fundraising goal—close enough to call it a WIN because of the huge hearts and support from all of you. The Costume Contest was a blast, the excitement was off the charts, and we can’t thank everyone enough for making it unforgettable!

Special shout-out to and our amazing sponsors: LFAP, Schwab of RB/Torrey Pines, , and . And a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers who came out to make this day happen.

Our poster boy for this year, Clayton, has one incredible story: from a shelter to seeing the world in a whole new light. His transformation is a testament to the love and support from our community. Clayton found his forever family and even had his first “look” at the ocean!

Thank you for helping us make life-changing impacts for dogs like Clayton. Your support fuels our mission at Labs and More, and together, we’re saving lives. ❤️
Let’s keep the momentum going! Help us exceed our goal, we are so close -  donate now! Here’s to more stories of hope and freedom!
