Success Stories by Name

We knew our dog didn't have much longer to live. I wanted to be prepared to adopt when the time came. I had scheduled a home visit for a Monday. That time moved up when our girl died Thursday. I know some of you are thinking ... What's the rush? Well we had been looking on the website and had seen Kerry aka Annabelle. She was ready and was going to be at Petsmart on Saturday. Our home visit was moved to Saturday! We got the girl of our dreams. I would not hesitate to adopt again from Lab Rescue!

We are so blessed to have brought both Kip and Marlin into our lives. We had signed up with LRROF after the loss of one of our boys, Flash, in March. We have previous experience with LRROF and wanted to provide a loving home for another precious Lab. After the wonderful home visit by Terri, we found Kipper, who was being fostered by Carolyn in Sarasota. She was kind enough to bring him by for a "meet and greet", and it was love at first sight! Needless to say, he found his forever home that night. Fast forward a few months...we experienced another devistating loss of our eldest boy, Levi. During the following month, I contacted LRROF regarding volunteering with the organization. After a month went by, Carolyn sent me an email regarding fostering a young boy named Morgan. Well, to make a long stoy short, Marlin (previously Morgan) has joined Kip in their forever home. They both get along splendidly with each other, and also our other two rescues, Courage (Lab) and Axel (Aussie). The folks at LRROF are most certainly "earthly angels" for doing all that they do for those who cannot fend for themselves and are looking for that "forever HOME". God bless you all and the Labs who find their way into your care. PS. In the first photo left to right: Marlin, Kipper, Courage & Axel. Second Photo left to right: Marlin, Kipper, Courage.

I was worried at first, but after the application process, I saw how serious the volunteers were and then I knew there was no way we where going to placed with the wrong dog. Kona has fit right in with our family and brought new happiness into our home and the kiddos love her. There's nothing better than the sound of clacking of her paws and nails as she tracks through the house to see what everyone is doing. This short film says it all. http://labradorchronicles.com/m/videos/view/Rescue-a-Labrador

I just wanted to let lab rescue know of the passing of kirby. Kirby was at a tampa adoption day and i immediatly bonded ,he has been by my side ever since and as most people know that is a bond that will live forever even though he is not here . Kirby was the most polite and patiant dog i have ever owned,not only did he give me great pleasure he gave many many other people the same patiant love. This was obvious when i had a final farwell ceremony at a local beach bar called woodies,he had been a "regular"there since his puppy days and was the center of attraction to many locals and snow birds who were away from there pets,20 to 30 people turned up to say farwell at sunset,as the sun set and we bid farwell a school of large fish started jumping in front of us,coincidence??probably! but for me and all there he was also saying goodbye. I would like to thank lab rescue for introducing me to Kirby,he got me through some sad times in my life,he touched every one he met,the perfect gentleman,rest in piece my true friend,phil smithies

God Bless the wonderful people who have made it their mission to save these dogs. I adopted Klondike through Pat White after loosing my Lab of 15 years Rusty. I promised Rusty that I would care for the older labs that were left behind. I lasted 6 weeks without a companion. I saw Klondike on the sight and contacted Pat to set up an appointment. It was love at first site. I needed a Klondike and I could tell instantly that Klondike needed me. It has been a perfect match. He is just a wonderful dog. Although you learn things about your new friend that can be surprizing. It appears that he never learned to play since to this day he does not care for toys of which we have many. I have tried to amend this but he chooses to be himself and I am good with that. There are so many things that an experienced dog brings to a relationship. I encourage anyone who is considering an adoption to PLEASE give the experienced dogs an opportunity to bring happiness to your homes. You will be forever grateful.
