Lab Rescue

[jkapl001]

I am pretty sure someone posted a lab rescue site on here a while back. I have a friend who is looking for a lab for Christmas. Its a great home, and they just want a great family dog. They are considering a rescue lab because they really don't want to deal with a puppy. If someone has the site let me know.

Thanks

About Lab Rescue

Labs, loveable labs. That’s our specialty! At any given moment, we have 30-40 labs available for adoption – and adoption coordinators who are happy to help you find the perfect lab for your household. To get, started, fill out an adoption application. Want to come see some of our happy-go-lucky charmers in person (so to speak)? Come visit us at one of our Lab Adoption Days. If you love labs, and want to help us in our mission, please consider fostering, transporting or helping at Lab Adoption Days.

Like all rescue groups, we are perennially broke. We rescue and adopt out more than 650 dogs each year. We pay for our rescued dogs to get medical treatment, sometimes even surgery. Many of them come to us in poor condition, with skin ailments, heartworm positive, and unspayed and unneutered. Beyond medical costs, we also must pay kennel charges when they are undergoing treatment or when we have more dogs than we do foster families. If you want to make a difference to a homeless dog in search of a forever home, please considering making a donation!

From all the thousands of labs we have rescued over the years, a grateful "woof" to all who volunteer their time, donate their money, and provide loving homes. Have you got room in your home and your heart for one of our heartbreakers? There's a wagging tail and a world of unconditional love waiting for you - come take a look at our list of dogs currently up for adoption!

Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond is a non-profit, all volunteer organization serving Richmond, Virginia and nearby counties.

We rescue Labrador Retrievers and provide them with foster homes and veterinary care until they can be adopted into new, loving homes. Each one of our Labs is housed in a foster home, instead of in a kennel.

We feel this is the best way to get to know the Labs we rescue. We are not affiliated with any other Lab Rescue.

Please keep in mind that there are many purebred Labs available in your local shelters so please visit them as well!

Thanks for the help guys. Here is another question, does anyone know of someone looking to sell a lab? Maybe someone that got one for hunting but they just didn't have what it takes? There isn't enough time to get a dog from any rescue place before Christmas due to their process. Which I think is a good thing, there should be a process to make sure dogs go to good homes.

Try the Humane Society on Butler Farm Rd in Hampton, they normally have a few lab's. All dog's there have a life time home so if it doesnt work out you can take the dog back.

The Lab rescue does a great job of placing their dogs. I got mine from a rescue in Towson, Md and she has been great. The people were very caring and more the willing to take all the time needed to make sure the pet and owner were a match.
Good luck with your new dog...I'm sure they will help you find the right one:thumbup:
