Success Stories by Name

Tank was heartworm positive, and had a bad skin condition due to flea allergies when he came to us. Terrified of storms, he was in rough shape when the rescuers found him dumped out by the interstate. Lab Rescue took him in and helped get him well. It took no time at all for this loving, wonderful boy to win our hearts. We make it our goal in life to help make up for the neglect he had in the past, and show him all the love he deserves. He is a wonderful addition to our family. Cuddle time on the hammock is a favorite.

We have 2 young children on the Autism spectrum, and had promised them a dog when our youngest turned 3, which came in March. We were hoping to find a dog that was calm, and big enough to handle them. We did our home interview, and resigned ourselves to a long wait to find the perfect dog for our family. After less than a week, our caseworker called and said she found him! It was on the opposite coast, but he sounded great, so we were willing to drive the 4 hours. We met Charlie and his foster mom at an event, spent about 30 minutes with him, and we all fell in love. He was awesome on the 4 hour ride home, and the kids couldn't get enough of him! After getting him home, we voted on his new name, and decided on Toby. He has now been with us for about 7 months, and has been the absolute perfect dog for us. Our 6 year old daughter loves to cuddle with him wherever he lies, and our 3 year old always wants to throw him his tennis ball. We are so happy we decided to use a rescue group, and have been recommending it to people we know looking for dogs.

We want to thank Lab Rescue for saving our special boy, Tucker from being euthanized in the Pasco County shelter that fateful January day in 2011. When we came to meet tucker (Dragon) for the first time I remember saying to Pat and her husband - "We are outdoor people" and with one big lick from Tucker we knew our match was made. Tucker has since been on TV, in the newspaper and draw by an artist who saw at him at an equine event. Tucker is a member of our family now and forever - Thank you again Pat for all your hard work on saving this wonderful breed, one lab at a time.

Teak came to me on August 8th 2011 by way of Lab Rescue. The first time I saw him I knew he belonged with me. He lives with two other labs here, his brother Jessie and Sister Sammy; they are inseparable 24 hours a day. Teak and his pals run around the ranch outside chasing squirrels all day, it is what they love to do. They are on constant patrol looking up at the trees. Teak is the Gentleman in the family, I don’t think he is capable do anything wrong. I want to thank Laura & Trish form bringing Teak into my life; he fits right in and can't imagine life without him.
