Labrador Retriever rescue is the perfect way to get your next Labrador. You’ll get a devoted new pet — and that wonderful feeling you get from rescuing a dog that needs a home — and the Labrador gets a new home and a devoted new owner. Finding your next pet at a rescue is a great lesson for kids.
Most Labs have nothing to do with the fact they end up as rescue dogs. For whatever reason, their owners have decided to surrender them to Labrador rescue. Some Labrador rescue owners have died or gone to an assisted living home. Others have new children, roommates or spouses who are allergic to dogs or don’t get along with dogs for some reason. It’s not the dog’s fault that these circumstances occur, and yet it is the dog whose life gets disrupted. These dogs deserve loving homes.
When you adopt a dog from a Labrador rescue organization, you will be asked to pay a scaled adoption fee based on the age and health of your dog. This fee helps cover Labrador rescue’s operating expenses. Labrador rescue organizations are independently licensed from state to state, but most if not all are 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
When you adopt a dog from Labrador rescue you are charged a fee based on the age and condition of your dog to help cover Labrador rescue’s operating expenses. Labrador rescue organizations are independently licensed from state to state, but most if not all are 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organizations. A portion of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.
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 a written application and submitting to a home visit. You must be twenty-one years of age or older, provide landlord’s written permission to have a dog if you rent, and commit to get regular grooming for the dog. The application also asks about prior dogs you have owned.
