The Life of Bailey
  
 
Bailey 12 yrs, Chocolate, Female
Bailey is a dear,sweet natured girl and one look into her soulful eyes will melt your heart. Bailey came into our care  from a fellow that
had recently divorced and remarried. His new wife did not want this princess around because she was "old and shed"! We jumped at
the chance to save this senior as her options of staying alive being dropped off at a shelter were not great.  When Bailey came to us her
allergies were being controlled by a drug that was not being monitored properly causing some serious side effects and possibly
decreasing her life span. We immediately got her allergies under control  as well as getting her onto a healthy diet. Under our wing,
Bailey's allergies are controlled and she has blossomed into a super affectionate, social girl , who loves to be petted and lie beside you.
Bailey is slow moving and asks for nothing more than plodding around the backyard , gentle pats, a good chew toy and in return has so
much love to give.  Bailey has the eyes of an angel and we are thrilled to have made such a difference in
this chocolate princess' life.
May 3, 2011 ..One of our beloved fur babies leaves us ... BAILEY
Running this rescue as volunteers we have to deal with some heavy emotional situations and we draw on our strength, passion and
love of the breed to keep us going. It isn’t always easy, in fact it is incredibly difficult to manage our own paid careers, family’s and fur
kidz AND run a rescue as demanding and popular as we have become in the last 2.5 years since we started.  
What keeps us going?   The incredible placement stories, the love of the newly adoptive family’s for labs that were carelessly disposed
of for no other reason then people are just are tired of them, bored, fed up, haven’t trained them, have children, get divorced etc.
One girl particularly touched my heart when we first started back in 2008 and her name was BAILEY.
Bailey came to us after a divorce and no one wanted her. She was 10 years old in November 2008 when she came to us with liver
levels that were through the roof, on long term meds that were dispensed like candy and not properly monitored leaving her in a
medically weak position. From the moment we set eyes on this girl I knew we would never want her to leave our care as she had so
little time left.  
To our sincere surprise and working with some amazing doctors our sweet brown Angel lived another 2.5 years as the happiest, most
content senior surrounded by the love of her incredible foster family, Andres, Catarina and Lidia.  She lived with her foster friend Tara,
went on car rides, play days with other labbies, and trips to the cottage. She was surrounded by so much love and affection and
deserved every second of it.

May 3 was a sad day for us as our sweet Chocolate Princess has passed on. She will be sadly missed and was truly a symbol to the
rescue of what saving these dogs is all about.
Truly the eyes of an Angel.

VOLUNTEER
OSCAR
( 5 yrs black male 85 lbs)
Oscar would best be described as goofy, happy go lucky boy. He went to two levels of
training class and does know his basic commands and even speak, high five, shake a paw
etc.  
He has been known to be heavy on leash but with a better collar and a regular exercise
regime this should sort itself. Currently, his family has a long day and busy life style and he
never knows what to expect for exercise thus can get excited if he finally does get to have
some fun and go for a walk.
Oscar does suffer from seasonal allergies.
Fetching is not his forte and he will return only if there is something else fun to fetch. He has
never been exposed to water so we are unsure if he is a swimmer, he is a lab of course but
that doesn't necessarily means he swims!

He rides well in the car but doesn't get out much these days.

He enjoys the company of other dogs but doesn't seem to go to the leash free much
anymore. He does play with friends dogs and does well.

He adores the very young boy in the house.  He does really try and connect with you when
you chat with him, almost like he is trying to talk back!

He does greet people with a happy enthusiasm.  He isn't a barker at all.

Oscar is food motivated and will learn quickly with some guidance. He is a super boy big,
goofy and fun! ADOPTED !!!
 

HERSHEY
1.2 yrs Chocolate Male , 110 lbs - large boy
Hershey's VERY senior owner suddenly passed away and Hershey was
surrendered to us within two days as there was no other place for him to go.  
Hershey lacks exposure to allot of things and thus is highly reactive to all things
new. He needs time and allot of patience to work through the training exposure
phase.
He has played with the family's cocapoo and enjoyed his company and had
frequent visits from the grand kids.

He rides ok in the car but has clearly not done it much and would a appreciate a
family that will go slow, and go short distances to start.

Hershey is not chubby in anyway, he is just a big rock solid boy. He can be very
strong on leash but once settles into a routine should be fine. He was walked by
a 79 year old man that used a Haltie on him.

The foster family reports this boy to be cuddly and mannered in the house. He
can still try and counter surf or greet you with enthusiasm.
Hershey would be best adopted by a family that is lab savvy and ready to go to
training class so that this boy can live up to his wonderful potential.
ADOPTED!!
 
JAKE & PORKY
13 yrs Black Female & 11 years Yellow male (large)

Hi I my name is Jake (black female) and I am nearing the ripe old age of 13 years
and my son; Porky (yellow male) is turning 11 soon.  In our day we shined!  We
won so many trophies and ribbons for Field Trials and Hunting – we were
simply the best of the best.

Then 6 years ago our original owner found himself in a divorce and gave us away to
what we thought would be our forever home.  But sad news last year they split up
too and now we have to start looking for a new home again as the family is in an
upheaval.

We simply don’t understand why we can’t have our old life back, romp outdoors, go
for rides in the car, get some love.  We have heard lab rescue will keep us together
which makes us super excited as we have never spent a night apart. We sleep
close to each other and often with our bums touching for security.  Although we
adore each other we have very little exposure to other dogs and at this time it would
be best it our new forever home didn’t have other cats or dogs.

We don't do fancy tricks like roll over but we do like to impress people with how well
we walk on leash. Porky, my son likes to walk on the right and I (Jake) always trot
confidentially on the left.  We sit when we are told, fetch with ease and will go until
our dear old muscles will allow us to do so.  Swimming is one of our favourite things
to do and so we do hope we can continue that in our golden years with our new
family.

We both ride like a dream in the car as we were so use to that back in the good old
days. We are in pretty good health but since I am nearing 75 years old in people
years, my eye sight is a bit cloudy and hearing isn’t what it used to be. My son is
doing well but he has a growth I am told that may need to be removed.  We know
with our SUPER SENIOR age we are a bit of a challenge for a family to open their
heart and home for but we promise we will be good and offer lots of licks in
return.                         Do you have a hook for our leashes?

Flynn
8 y Black Male 59 lbs
What a seriously sweet petite boy Flynn is, a personality that will melt your heart.

Super transition into his foster home, absolutely wonderful with the two other labs in
the house.

He adores people, and loves the attention and pets and as much as he can get!

Flynn really likes playing with all the toys in the house and will easily share with
anyone.

A nice walker on leash as he is easily handled at his slight 60 lbs weight.

He rides fine in the car,

This boy will easily transition into his forever him and give you lots of love.

ADOPTED!
Senior adoption fee applies.
Sam
2 yrs BLACK  MALE (LAB X)
Sam is a very smart boy that continues to learn everyday. He is a fun
loving boy who likes to dance for you, give you a paw, sit pretty, lie
down, get you a toy.

He is super friendly with all dogs and currently lives in a home with two
other large dogs.  
We are unsure about cats and as this boy has not lived with kids he
prefers to be in a home with teenager age and above.

He rides fine in the car and is use to long trips up north.

More info coming soon.
 
BAILEY
10  Yrs Yellow Male
I am so excited, my birthday is coming up on May 7th and I will be
turning 10 and I hear that Lab rescue is interviewing people for me now
so that I will be able to have cake while nestled into my near home. I
am such an easy going laid back boy that blends in any circumstance.
My owner fell sick so things have been a bit unstable for me the last
few months but I know it will get better soon.

I am in foster care now and really like my new sister and the feline
friend in the house. I walk well on leash but of course I am a very big
boy and that means when I see something I want I may pull you over
there to check it out! I may have a pound of two to lose so anyone
thinking of adopting me needs to know I am ready and willing to get on
the exercise plan as I so enjoy my walks.

I am a senior and relaxed and well behaved in the house. I am just an
old mellow yellow looking for a new home! ADOPTED !
Winston
6.8 yrs Yellow Male 70 lbs
Winston is a super boy!
He is a quiet dog with a very gentle temperament.
He is quite use to living with another dog and would enjoy the same canine
companionship in his new home.

He is excited to meet people when they come to the door and may jump in a
happy way to see them but then calms right down.

He walks well on leash, on the right side of his owner as the other dog walked in
the left.

Winston rides fine in the car, front seat, back seat - he is flexible.  He has been on
4 hour car rides to go camping with ease.

More info coming soon.
 
NIBI
7 yrs Black Female

Hi! My name is Nibi. I use to live with a lot of dogs where I wasn't taken care of or
given the attention I deserve. I am a smart girl and I want to please but I haven't
been given the tools to know how to do that. Now I am learning all kinds of new
things in my foster home.

I can sit, lay down and even shake a paw! The best part of learning new things is the
treats that come along with it. The world is a scary place when you haven't been
exposed to much, so I need an experienced dog owner that will be patient with me
while I experience the world around me and the people in it. In my forever home I
would like to be the only dog and I hope for someone that is home a lot. I am great
companion and a loyal friend.

I don't know where my forever family is, but I know that they are out there. Is it you?
Will you give me a chance to have the kind of life that I have dreamt about?
Somewhere where I can know that I am loved and safe and most importantly
somewhere I belong forever.
Love,Nibi    CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES

Foster Update: Nibi has bonded nicely wit her foster mom -  She is attentive, cuddly
but not clingy, relaxes in same room, - She is mostly quiet but barks/alerts to noises
outside. She goes to sleep with her as her pillow about twice a week. She usually
gets too warm and moves away after an hour or so - She is a dream in the house
and in the car. (okay, she does remove any unwashed dishes from her sink and walk
to another room with them... where she'll clean them for her. It's endearing more
than annoying. And a hint I should wash dishes more often!)
- Will joyfully play and interact with toys in room with the foster mom, she isn't pushy
when it is time to finish play time - Health continues to be fine - Temperment
continues to be superb - Medium-energy (ie typical) for a lab.
- Walking on the sidewalk when she sees other dogs - gets excitable - needs some
work
 
SHADOW
7.5 yrs Years Black Male 85 lbs
Tall, dark and very handsome, I have a beautiful, shiny coat with a few grey
distinctive highlights in my fur.  My eyes are kind with coppery coloured highlights
too.  

I came to Canada on a Lab Rescue transport  a long time ago from Ohio.  There is
a whole lot more nice doggies than there are homes down south so they've already
saved my life once.   Back then they adopted me out to a great Mom and Dad who
REALLY loved me but when their health declined and they couldn't keep up with
the nice walks I love so much.  In stepped Lab Rescue to help me once again!!  

Next thing I know I'm unpacking my things at a nice foster home where I am
enjoying plenty of walks, nice visits with my new canine friends in the
neighbourhood,  office visits, the pet foods store (FANTASTIC!).  And that was all
on my 2nd day!  If my foster mom is busy she puts a few treats in my Kong to enjoy;
I love my new toys.   I also have a stuffed monkey that the Lab Rescue volunteer
gave to me which is fitting because my Dad and I split a banana everyday for
breakfast and the volunteer passed that info along so my foster Mummy does too!  
I always take my treats very, very gently.   I am used to having my people around all
of the time so it would be great if my new 'family' was too.

I'm a strong, quiet guy who loves meeting people and getting lots of cuddles.  I
haven't had much of a chance to swim but my foster parents think that I'll love it if I
get the chance.   I slept on the couch at my old place but I love stretching out on
my new bed all night!  Car trips give me a chance to relax and watch the scenery or
get caught up on a nap.

At just 7 1/2 year of age, I am full of quiet enthusiasm for great Lab adventures,
specifically playing, loving and eating!   I have a lot of great Labby living left to do
and I know the dedicated Lab Rescue volunteers are going to find me the world's
greatest fur-ever home!  Xox Shadow

SIERRA
6.4 yrs  Yellow Female Lab x 52 lbs
Sierra is quite a petite lab x weighing in at only 52 lbs which makes her super
easy to walk. Sierra recently went back to school for a refresher course for a
month before the arrival of the new baby and thus she knows how to walk quite
well on leash when reminded to heel. Now she can get super excited to go out
as she rarely gets out these days since the baby arrived so the new family will
have to remind her how to walk and be patient while she gets use to the routine.

Sierra is afraid of thunder & lightning and loud nosies such as the vacuum but
is fine to sit on the front porch when the lawn mower is whirling loudly.

She is playful with other dogs and wants to interact for some fun.  She is good
with cats.

Sierra does live with a young child and that child has been pulling on her ears
and tail it has made Sierra retreat sadly to another room so we prefer to adopt
her into a home with no young kids at this time.

Sierra would do well in a family that was around the house as she was use to
the mom being off on mat leave and having steady exercise, but isn't that every
labbie!  
CASEY
9 yrs Yellow female 75 lbs
Casey is simply the nicest girl. She is super in the house, the foster family has yet
to hear her bark.  She doesn't counter surf but does really like her toy box full of
toys.  Some she likes to carry around like prize postions, some she likes to
de-stuff.

Casey rides very well in the car on either a long trip or short.

She sleeps quietly through the night with ease.

Casey is learning to fetch and doing quite well.

She has limited commands under wraps but seems willing to learn and likes her
treat rewards she gets when she does it.

She walks VERY well on leash and walks at a casual pace.

An easy super sweet dog that will blend nicely in any home.  She is doing well with
her two foster lab house mates.  #senior adoption fees apply
