Labrador Retriever Rescue To The Rescue
Don’t buy your next Labrador Retriever from a breeder, a pet store or a puppy mill. A perfectly good Labrador is waiting for you at the Labrador rescue organization near you. Adopting your next pet is a great learning experience for children. Getting your next Labrador from Labrador rescue is a win-win proposition for you and your dog. You get a beautiful, purebred Labrador Retriever, and you get the satisfaction of knowing you’re providing a home for a homeless dog that needs you. Your dog gets to become the center of your attention. Everybody wins.
Your Labrador probably had nothing to do with becoming a rescue dog. Usually the dog’s owner is the one whose circumstances lead to giving up the dog. Sometimes the owner dies or goes into a nursing home or some other living situation where dogs are not allowed, and no family member or friend is willing or able to take the person’s dog.
Labrador rescue works with families, owners, shelters and veterinarians to make sure all rescue dogs are groomed, given a health examination, and are current in their vaccinations and heartworm medications. All those procedures cost money, and your adoption fee helps pay for all the care Labrador rescue had to give your dog before you adopted it.
Most of the expenses Labrador rescue incurs for your dog are the cost of medical care. Labradors are spayed or neutered if they are still fertile when they are surrendered to Labrador rescue. Adoption fees helps cover the cost of the operation and the expenses a foster family incurs to care for your dog while it recuperates from surgery
Labrador rescue works with families, owners, shelters, and veterinarians to make sure all rescue dogs are groomed, given a health examination, and are current in their vaccinations and heartworm medications.
Your adoption fee helps defer the expenses that Labrador rescue incurred to rescue and care for your dog before you adopted it. Labrador Retriever rescue has offices in all fifty of the United States, and Labradors available for rescue vary from one location to another.
The fewer requirements you have for a Lab, the sooner you will find one in rescue. If you are willing to accept a boy or a girl and don’t mind taking an older dog, you will probably find a Labrador rescue dog right away. Older dogs are easy to care for, because they like to nap.
If you want to adopt a Labrador from Labrador Retriever rescue, you must complete an application process that includes filling out an application and going through a home visit. Potential owners must be twenty-one years of age or older, provide landlord’s written permission to have a dog if they are renters, and commit to get regular grooming for the dog. The application also asks about prior dog ownership and what kind of activity level the owner has. Your new Labrador awaits you at a Labrador rescue near you
