UPDATE (11/30/15) - Mollie was ADOPTED! A HUGE thank you to all of you who checked out and shared Mollie's story - our hearts are so full and we couldn't be happier for this gorgeous girl! <3
Mollie is the sweetest girl and adores meeting new people. She is easy going, doesn't jump, and knows a good sit.
Mollie walks like a dream on the leash and stays right by your side. She isn't in any kind of rush, and will walk at your pace.
She does have a pretty high prey-drive, so a house without small animals might be best OR for families looking for a hunting dog - this is your girl! Mollie doesn't know a ton of commands, and could benefit from training, but she is so adaptable and intelligent this shouldn't be a problem at all.
Mollie knows her name, and comes when called. She also has good re-direct if a smell catches her nose and tries to take her away from you. She is very alert to her surroundings, but really just wants to be near her people-friends. She does like to play fetch, and absolutely LOVES water - in fact, she thinks the water hose was invented just for her entertainment!
In full disclosure, we have had one incident where Mollie snipped at another dog over a toy, but she's never
lunged or growled at other dogs, and she doesn't pay much mind to her noisy neighbors at the property. She hasn't had a whole lot of interaction with other pups, but we think that give proper introduction she would do well with another mellow dog, maybe one who doesn't mind sharing their toys - we will still require a meet and greet with any additional pups in your household.
Mollie is a very cool dog, and she is absolutely beautiful! She is approximately 3 years old, is spayed, microchipped and UTD on shots. Check out our website for more information and updates, and Facebook is always another good source of info!
If you have any questions please leave a comment, call or e-mail us! We look forward to hearing from you.
ADOPTION PENDING! YAH JOHNNY!
Pupdate (12/3/15): Johnny B is still doing great in his foster home. He loves to play tug of war with both humans and dogs alike. He is getting a lot of exposure to new dogs and is doing well with all types and sizes! And did we mention that he is good with cats - in particular the bossy ones :) Johnny really wants to give the cats a good sniff, so if your cat is terrified of dogs he may be too much. He rides so well in the car and is a mellow, laid-back kinda guy. He is a sweet boy wanting a sweet family to love him.
Wilson (previously Johnny B) has rejoined the HOT family,
Wilson was adopted, but was quickly overwhelmed in a home with four kiddos under the age of ten. NOTE: Wilson did good with the kiddos, but the activity and noises and just general chaos that young'uns bring to the table didn't suit him as well as we had all hoped. For this reason we think a smaller family or family with older kids would suit this guy better.
On a happier note, Wilson is pretty much the perfect companion. He is a very loyal, happy-go-lucky hound who is house and crate trained, knows commands such as "sit", "down", "stay", and "no," is treat and people motivated, and loves to please. Wilson's foster is working on better leash manners with him while he waits for a family to call his own.
This boy loves to play in the water, and in true lab fashion, is a strong and fearless swimmer in pools and ponds alike. He has gotten along well with other dogs given proper introductions, and loves to play tug-of-war! Wilson also loves to play fetch and is getting better at giving the ball back (without getting a game of tug-of-war in at the same time!).
For as active as Wilson can be, he also can be a real couch potato! He loves to lay by your feet, and for you to give his belly a good scratch...but most of all he loves for you to hold his paw....awhh!! <3 This curious fellow is very attentive to his people and doesn't want to miss out on any of the action - he's like a furry, golden shadow!
While Wilson didn't get his happily forever after this time around, we are confident the right family is just around the corner! We absolutely adore Wilson and are very committed to finding him his forever family. If he sounds like your kind of guy make sure to fill out an online application and we can get you to come out to meet him!
As always, please comment, e-mail and check out our website for more information about our adoptable dogs! Also check out our Facebook and Instagram (@hotlabrescue) for more Heart of Texas updates.
(12/30/15) ADOPTION PENDING!! WAHOOOOOO FARLEY <3 <3 <3
(12/2/15) Farley has found a nice comfortable foster home for the holidays! He is soaking up all the attention and loves to be near his foster mom.
Farley will begin training shortly, which will include a course for reactive dogs so we can polish up this boys manners around other furbabies!
Farley is still available for adoption! Keep checking back for more updates and track Farley's progess.
This boy is a big 'ol hunk of love! Farley is a very loyal companion and loves to be around people - in fact he loves people so much he thinks he's a lap dog!
Farley also enjoys belly-rubs, walks, swimming, a good game of fetch, and giving kisses.

Not only is Farley a love-bug, but he has polite leash manners, responds very well to his name, and is house and crate trained. Farley does know some basic commands ('sit', 'down', 'no') but could benefit from additional training with his new family. HOWEVER, this boy is very treat motivated and a fast learner - this old(er) boy still has the ability to learn all kinds of new tricks!
While Farley boy is very people oriented, he would really enjoy being the only furry-friend in your life...why would he ever want to share your attention!?. He is a good-lookin' boy and shows off for the ladies, so a female companion could be a good match; but Farley does not enjoy the company of other male dogs - in particular other alpha type males. Farley also thinks they cats are sketchy, and is determined to protect you from them...so #NoCatsAllowed.
Farley is one of our long-stay pups and we would really like to get him into a home (or foster-home!) soon. Despite all our wonderful volunteers, Farley isn't getting all the attention he wants (and deserves) out at the property and is getting a little bit dejected after watching so many of his companions find their forever families.
Farley is a 5 year old yellow, neutered, male. He is UTD on shots and heartworm negative - i.e. he is ready to go home pronto! If you are interested in adopting Farley, check him out on our website (HERE), comment or e-mail us.
