Magoo’s Story

I don’t know why I was named Mr. Magoo. He was a cartoon - an old, little guy who was nearly blind. I can be a little goofy – but isn’t that normal for a lab?? My foster mom says I am a beautiful black lab with gorgeous brown eyes. That’s why the nice K-9 Lifesavers folks saved me. And they really did save my life. It’s not widely known, but black dogs are generally first in line for death row at shelters. For some reason, we aren’t the first ones chosen. I’ve heard it’s because we don’t photograph well. I beg to differ. Just look at me.

So now, I’m looking for a family to love – and I have been for a few months. According to my foster mom, I’m sweet, gentle, love to snuggle, and a sucker for belly rubs. I’m good with kids and other dogs. I’m a responsible dog – you don’t have to worry I’m alone in the house. I pride myself on being well-behaved.

If you are looking for a combination walking buddy and loving companion, look no farther. I’m here. And I’m waiting patiently to go home with you.

A little over a year ago we were adopted by a sweet girl named Stella. We were thinking about adopting a dog when K-9 Rescues brought dogs to my office at Discovery Communications in Silver Spring. We went through the process of a home visit. Marcus, who conducted the home visit, was a foster parent for Stella. He brought her to the house where she proceed to run up and down the three flights of stairs and then sit next to me putting her head in my lap. There was no need to see any other dogs. Stella made it easy for us and I know she is as happy with her choice as we are. Stella has enriched our lives over the past 14 months. She still has fears that we work on every day but when we see her run on the beach, sit next to us in the car, and greet us enthusiastically every day is wonderful. We don't know everything that happened to her or caused her to be fearful of certain things, but these are minor compared to what a truly good girl she is. She is sweet, gentle, and loving. Thank you so much for our Stella
