Gizmo – Chocolate Male Mix, ~5 years, 55 lbs Hi there! I’m Gizmo, and I’m currently testing the couch cushion quality at my foster home while I await my forever family. Could that be you? A little back story. I had a family, or so I thought. But I wasn’t really part of their busy lives. Five years as a backyard dog. When they finally realized they were never going to have time for me, they contacted the Defenders of the Unwanted, Lab Rescue of Fresno. New home, new life. I’m quickly learning what life indoors is like, and I love it. I’ve had a few faux pas, like eating things off the counter, but hey, I’m learning quickly what’s mine and what’s not. Foster Dad says I’m gentle, goofy, and a quick learner. I have a PhD. in cuddling and giving gentle kisses. My absolute favorite thing in the world is fetch. Eating breakfast? You can still throw the ball with your free hand! Working in the yard? Take a break and get the Chuck-it out and just try to wear me down. When your arm is tired, I’m cooling off in the water bucket, I love to splash after fetch. I’m a people pleaser. You should see me work the crowd at Farmers Market. And when you get home, my whole body wiggles with excitement. Dad says he needs shin guards my tail wags so hard. Gizmo is learning fast how to be an indoor member of the family. He has a 7 out of 10 energy level. My foster mom says I’m trying to cram 5 years of loneliness into 5 hours of attention. He gets along great with his foster brother and has met kids of all ages at Farmers Market and loves them all. He walks well on a leash, sits, and comes to his name. He uses his crate as his safe space. He’ll be great with an active family that can devote time to continued training and daily exercise (any runners out there need a partner?). If you think Gizmo might be the perfect fit for your home, or if you have questions for his foster, please fill out an adoption application on our website at: .labrescuefresno If you are interested in adopting through Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno, you must first fill out an Adoption Application located at our website .LabRescueFresno All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines including rabies; flea/tick topical drops, heartworm tested and microchipped.

Overview:
The Labrador Retriever, a beloved and highly popular breed, originated in Newfoundland, Canada, where they were initially bred to assist fishermen by retrieving nets and stray fish. Physically, they are medium-to-large dogs, known for their strong, athletic build, short, dense, weather-resistant double coat (commonly seen in black, yellow, or chocolate), and their distinctive "otter" tail. Temperamentally, Labs are celebrated for their friendly, outgoing, and good-natured disposition, making them exceptional family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please contribute to their trainability, though they do require consistent exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their energy levels make them more suited to homes with yards, or highly active families, rather than apartment living, unless daily extensive exercise is guaranteed. Regarding health, Labs can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, and some eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. Overall, their loyalty, versatility, and affectionate nature firmly establish the Labrador Retriever as a wonderful addition to many households.
