Breed Rescue

Оглавление

Labrador breed clubs organize volunteers to rescue Labs from homelessness, neglect, and abuse. Responsible breeders who support these efforts often chair the rescue groups, and volunteer much private time, money, and kennel space to help the dogs.

Lab Rescue takes in dogs of all ages, but usually has fewer pups than adults. If you are a little flexible about the age of your new dog, Lab Rescue may have the perfect Lab for you (see Useful Addresses and Literature, page 142). Dogs placed by Rescue are neutered, and many receive rehabilitative training and care before they are ready for new homes.

Rescue Labs may or may not come from titled ancestors, but adoptive owners are treated the same way as buyers for show pups. If you adopt from Rescue, be prepared to answer personal questions about yourself, your home, and your family. Rescue groups want what’s best for the dogs, and volunteers will do all they can to make certain a new home works out right.
