| Surrendering Your Lab Thank you for calling on Labrador Rescue to find that new loving home your dog deserves. The following information will explain the process to finding your Labrador a new home. The volunteers at Lab Rescue know how difficult it is to make a decision to surrender your dog and we commit to that we will take all available measures to facilitate a new loving home for your Lab where he can be healthy, happy and safe! After your initial contact with LAB RESCUE we will ask you to fill out an Owner Surrender Information form which can be found online. This will provide us with all the necessary information about your dog. Please be candid when filling this out, as the information will help us match your Lab with the most suitable new owners. All dogs are evaluated by a Surrender Coordinator for such things as temperament, level of obedience, training etc., prior to being accepted into the program. We do not accept dog aggressive or people aggressive dogs. There is a nominal fee requested with the surrender of your dog. Potential owners are screened by LAB ADOPTION SERVICES for suitability to adopt a dog prior to being placed on the approved new owner adopter list. Please note, we take our responsibility to find a loving new home for your lab very serious. Lab Rescue turns down approx. 350 applicants per year for not meeting our stringent adoption requirements. New owners sign an adoption contract which covers such things as the standard of care expected by LAB RESCUE, and pay an adoption fee which helps defray the veterinary expenses, and administration costs of the program. The lab can be reclaimed by the LAB RESCUE if any conditions of the contract are breached. Volunteers of the LAB RESCUE will follow-up after the adoption process to ensure that there is a suitable match between the new owner and dog, and that the dog is being well cared for. The length of time it takes for a Lab to be adopted depends on a number of factors including: the number of approved new owners, and dogs on our lists, the age, sex, and colour of the dog, the dogs temperament, level of training, health condition and the time of the year. Please note at this time we can only accept full labs and are unable to accept lab mixes into our care due to heavy demand. Our location is in Ontario, Canada. |
