RUBY
3 years, Black, Female, 75 lbs tall slender
An afternoon with Ruby is a reminder to stop and smell the
roses. Ruby has a zest for life and an enthusiasm that is
contagious. This fun loving girl loves to play ball, loves to go
walking , loves to play chase , pretty much any activity Ruby
does whole heartedly. This girl has not known a kind life so
far yet still loves everyone and is enthralled with the littlest
things.
Ruby will require professional obedience classes so that she
can gain socialization while developing a strong skill-set.
Ruby would do best as the only dog as she likes attention
and needs to further develop her doggie social skills.A
family that includes young toddlers is not recommended as
Ruby can be bouncy and will be knocking over young
toddlers.
Ruby is a fun spirited girl who deserves a loving
and caring family who will keep her safe and spoiled!

BEAUTY
6.5 Yrs, Yellow, Female
Beauty is an adorable lab with a gorgeous face! She weighs
about 100 pounds and will likely need to lose a pound or
two. Beauty is super friendly and very easy going, friendly
with other dogs and likes kitties too.
Beauty's owners are in a difficult situation - they love her but
due to financial reasons they are no longer able to keep
her. Beauty has allergies and a thyroid condition. While
allergies in labs are quite manageable and very common,
the thyroid condition will require a bit more vigilance on the
part of the new owner to keep the condition under control .
Beauty is a wonderful lab looking for a new family to open
their heart and home to her, is that you - please contact us

KARMA
4.5 Months,Chocolate, Female
Adopted
Sweet little Karma is an example of getting a dog for all the
wrong reasons. Karma's family did not put a lot of thought
into getting a dog and thought that a puppy would be great
amusement for the kids paying no attention to the needs of
the puppy or the fact that this little scared bundle is not a
toy but a life.
Karma is under our wing and is now getting used to being
handled gently and spoken to quietly. This scared , skittish
puppy is no longer being pulled and poked but rather is
being given confidence and guidance. Karma needs an
adult only home where she will be given a lot of attention ,
patience and love. Karma is absolutely adorable and will
steal your heart quickly however she also needs a family
who will make a commitment to her and will be sure to take
her to professional obedience classes so that she can
learn commands as well as socialization with other dogs and
people. This little girl is super sweet and will make a
wonderful companion to a lucky family.

NICKY
6 yrs, Black, male
Our dear sweet Nicky a 6 year old peanut of a black Lab joined us just
in time for Christmas. Nicky travelled far to join us from a small rural
pound in Quebec. Nick is so deserving of a second chance and is an
absolute sweetheart. This little boy takes nothing for granted and is
ecstatic to have a toy or treat , happy to romp with his foster brothers
and sisters and in complete bliss when petted or told how special he
is. Imagine surviving out on your own with no family to come and save
you from a bleak, cold pound and then you are on the path to your
second chance when it is discovered that the second chance you so
dearly deserve will be shortened. We removed a lump from Nick's
chest only to discover that it was a mass cell tumour and that this
special little boy will only be with us a year or two.
He needs a special family who will love and care for
him and make his last years wonderful. We are
looking for Nicky's angels and we are sure they will
not let this precious boy down.

LUCY
7 yrs, Chocolate, Female
ADOPTED
Within minutes of meeting sweet Lucy you cannot help but
fall in love. This girl is an absolute love who has braved and
survived one of the many horrific puppy mills that are found
throughout Ontario.
Lucy is quite overweight and it is obvious that she has been
over bred, yet this sweet girl still looks at people with kind
eyes and a soft slow tail wag. She has been used as a
breeding machine and her puppies sold in pet stores and on
the Internet.
Lucy has lots of new experiences and joys ahead of her and
needs a gentle, patient family to guide her on her new
journey of "being a dog".
Lucy enjoys the company of other dogs and is indifferent to
cats. An adult home is would be great for this great gal as
she has limited experience with noise and confusion. Lucy is
a wonderful girl who is so deserving at this chance of a new
life filled with love and a family who will keep her safe.

Shadow
9 yrs, Yellow, Male
ADOPTED
What a gorgeous boy! Shadow has a block head and has
sturdy body, maybe a bit too sturdy as he could stand to
lose a pound or two! This wonderful boy is being
surrendered through no fault of his own. His owner has
entered a long term facility and next of kin tried to keep him
but a family member had severe allergies which prevented
Shadow from having a permanent home with them. Shadow
has a fantastic temperament, as he is an easy going Lab
that gets along with everyone! His energy would amaze you,
some think he is only 3 years old with the way this boy
bounces around. Shadow is fine with canines and kitties
and loves the company of people.
He just wants to be loved and will love you ten fold
back. Do you have room in your heart and house for this
dear old boy? Email us today!

ARCHIE
5 mos, Yellow, Male
ADOPTED
Absolutely adorable and total fun. This little guy is lots of
fun! He is your typical bouncy, happy go lucky Lab puppy
with a healthy curiosity and a little naughty streak to keep
you on your toes! Archie loves people as well as their
gloves, their ankles, their shoe laces, their noses......Archie
is definitely still in a "mouthing" stage where everything
goes into his mouth because of this we are looking for a
home without mall children as well s a home that will take
Archie for professional training where he will benefit from
building a skill set as well as socialization. This little guy
loves other dogs and at present will bark at and chase cats.
He is super cute but needs a family who will not
only love him but also who will work with him so that
he can grow out of his naughty behaviours into the
smart and well behaved boy that he could be.

BISCUIT
1.2 Years, Yellow, Male
ADOPTED
Biscuit is absolutely gorgeous with a white thick coat and
feathery tail. He is a tall boy with a longer nose and the most
soulful eyes. This handsome boy is quite shy and timid at
first. It is apparent that he is quite undersocialized and is
nervous of new people and situations, he does warm up
very quickly and after a few minutes becomes quite
attached to his new friends. Biscuit walks nicely on leash ,
has a good sense of basic commands and travels well in the
car. Professional training will make a huge difference to this
boy as far as helping him to build confidence as well as to
help him deal with high stimuli environments. Biscuit will
make a wonderful companion for a family. At this
time we recommend an adult only home. Our
volunteers are working hard with him and already
he is gaining more confidence and coming out of his
shell.

MISCHA,
5 months, Female, Black
What a sweetheart! This black beauty came into our care in
her 14th week of life, having the weight and development of
a 4 week old puppy. This little fighter, against all odds,
continues to improve each and every day by reaching small
milestones of development. Her thin frame, lack of energy
due to malnutrition and frail body have not impacted her
ability to love. Mischa is sweet, gentle and loves to cuddles.
Her favourite past time includes cuddling up on the couch
with her foster mom, watching TV and eating lots of treats,
like a true Lab! She loves playing with other dogs and can
sometimes tire them out but her low energy level forces her
to take frequent rests. Mischa is already house trained,
understands "sit" and has good recall for such a young pup.
Mischa has had a rocky start to her young life and the
extent of the damage remains unknown. Mischa is
considered to be a "special needs" dog as she will require
further medical care. Due to her young age, we simply do
not know her future prognosis. Lab Rescue will ensure that
Mischa sees a Neurologist in order to provide her adoptive
family with as much information as possible.
Mischa's ideal "forever home" should include a family that is
committed to following through on medical attention and
ensuring that our little Angel gets the care required, post
adoption, that she deserves. The family would need to
understand that Mischa's road to recovery is financially
unknown BUT she is so worth it. You just need to look into
to her eyes to realize that! Please open your heart and your
home to our little black beauty and you will never be alone
again!

PALLIATIVE CARE
Sometimes we are asked to help Labs that we assess after entering the rescue to
be permanent palliative care candidates. These are special labs, usually seniors
that we help only to find out that we can't medically make then 100% healthy.
There are some that touch our hearts and minds so deeply that we extend our
resources to make every effort to set them back on the right path. Sometimes as
hard as we try we are unable to do such. The team at Lab Rescue would not feel
we had tried our best if we didn't explore as many medical options as possible
and this obviously strains the organization's resources. Lady-Rose and Bailey are
two examples of Labs that remain under our care today in our Palliative Program.
These labs will remain in the Lab Rescue Family We can't help these deserving
labs without you! Please consider donating today. Our labs thank you!

12 yrs, Chocolate, Female
Status change - Our Chocolate Princess is at a wonderful
Foster home and seems to very happy! Dec 18, 2009
Bailey is a dear,sweet natured girl and one look into her soulful eyes
will melt your heart. Bailey came into our care last year 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.

DEZEL
Dezel is beautiful 3 year old chocolate Lab. He is neutered,
microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations. Dezel is in good
health and weighs about 85 pounds. Our volunteer who met Dezel
said, he is a lovely Lab with a very sweet personality. He loves people
and displayed good manners during the meeting (no jumping up,
listens well to the owner). Dezel's owner is unable to keep him due to
job demands. He is rarely home and works various shifts. Dezel is not
responding well to being left alone for long periods of time and the
inconsistent schedule is causing Dezel anxiety when left alone. He
can not be crated. For this reason we are seeking a home for Dezel
where someone is home for most of the day. He needs an adopter
who is able to give him a consistent and predictable routine. He
requires more training for leash skills and good opportunities for
regular stimulation and exercise (he does need to lose about 10
pounds to be a healthy weight - he will benefit from more exercise and
a good quality diet). That being said, he does have a good grasp of
obedience commands such as sit, wait, leave it, come etc. He does
pull on the leash but has excellent focus and is very food motivated.
Dezel is fine with cats and dogs (he shares his home with two cats
and a small dog).
If you feel you can give Dezel a safe and loving
home please fill out our online adoption application
on our website (www.adoptadogsavealife.com).
Please note: we do not have a shelter to visit. Our adoption process
includes an application, a home visit, reference checks and a meeting
with the dog. An adoption fee applies.
