Many stray or unwanted Labs sit in shelters awaiting adoption. Sometimes, well-loved dogs are rehomed through shelters; others end up there when irresponsible owners tire of them. Some have been abused and neglected by the time they are dropped off at the “pound.” Although some shelter dogs bounce back easily from earlier hardship, others have behavior problems that will require time and training to correct.

Most shelter dogs make wonderful companions once they learn to trust new owners. Though they may require extra patience and care at first, most shelter adoptees give back a thousandfold in devotion to a loving family.
