Looking for an older female Lab to rescue
 

To my TOTV family,
We are in search of an older female Lab that needs to be rescued. We are currently working with Margaret and Debbie @ All Creatures Great & Small. We have also searched the animal shelters and humane societies, etc. Just wondering if anyone knows of a private party with an older female lab that needs to be rescued. Please pm us.
Thanks,
Janet & Carl

Have you tryed American Lab rescue. We did thru petfinder.com. They were very thourough and we felt like we were adpoting a baby by the tine we got through.

Yes, we checked American Lab Rescue. Thank You Janet & Carl

do you care about the color?

Have you tried Rescues by Judy?? I found this one on her website. Good luck!!

You have made my day with your post. Some lucky dog will get to have a forever home with two caring and compassionate people. Hats off to Janet and Carl. :ho:

Color does not matter. Janet

Thank you. We have checked Rescues by Judy. The Lab you found is a male. We prefer females. Thanks for your help. Janet

My daughter in law volunteers At Athens Animal Pound and Rescue. They have a 6 year old female lab now and often others.

Bless you hearts for rescuing and wanting an older dog. You must be good people.

Hi Barefoot, :wave:
I'm glad to have made your day and someday soon we are going to make a dog's day. I know you are also an animal lover. I have seen your posts on TOTV frequently and I enjoy your knowledge. Carl & I have a determining factor persuing a new pet. She, the new dog must get along with our cat, Tac. In the year of 2012 Carl & I lost our black Lab, Midnight and our German Shepherd, Samantha. We were devistated. Midnight's passing came as a shock the day after New Year's 2012 and we had to send Samantha to Heaven on October 29, 2012. We had only been in The Villages about a month. So Tac rules our house. I introduced him to our neighbor's dog and things went well. Time has passed and even though the hurt will never go away, we feel the time is right to rescue another dog. We are checking into invisible fences before we even rescue a new dog. I will inform everyone when we receive our new family member. Thanks for your concern.
Janet & Carl

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost two members of your family and I love that you are rescuing an older lab; she has a wonderful family waiting for her. An exciting adventure is about to unfold, please let us know who the lucky dog is when you find her.

Coco is too far away :( Thank You Janet & Carl

Thanks Duffysmom,
I will post when we find our new girl.
Janet & Carl

Thanks Gomoho,
We love the older pets and feel they deserve a loving home. Not everyone will adopt an older pet because of the costs to keep them healthy. We know after we check all of our resources we will have a difficult decision to make.
We try to be good people, like our TOTV family.
Thanks for your kind words,
Janet & Carl

Janet & Carl, I commend you, too, for welcoming a more mature doggie into your home. Whomever that lucky gal is will be living their dream in your home here in The Villages. You are wonderful people. We adopted a more mature dog and she is simply the best!

Janet&Carl, Bless you for wanting to adopt a senior fur kid. After reading your poss, I am once again convinced I should adopt a senior cat as it has been 7 weeks now since my cat Magic went to the Rainbow Bridge, and I am now back home after my visit to TV.

Keep us posted when you new fur kid is adopted. Labs are wonderful dogs.

Good luck in your search. I hope it helps your heart mend, although we never forget you are doing a wonderful thing, especially adopting an older dog.

I adopted two mixed breed labs from All Creatures Sanctuary, and both are so loving and grateful for a loving home. I adore them and only wish I could take more of the wonderful dogs that are there. There are so many loving dogs at that Sanctuary that would make awesome pets. And those dogs really need a loving home.

Thanks to Janet and Carl for wanting to adopt a shelter dog and saving a life!

Kudos for seeking the warmth of a cold nose from an older puppy. Pet people are good people! :BigApplause:

Thanks Kevin & Josie,
I will let everyone know of our decisions asap. Adoption can take a long time and I respect that. Even though we are very anxious to increase our family. I keep telling my cat, Tac that he will have a new sister real soon.
Janet

TOTV people are the BEST :thumbup:

I know the shelter has volunteers who will share the driving. They now have another female yellow lab with her black young puppy.

Just a thought. Wish you the best with giving a lab a lovely home.

Avista what a beautiful mother and daughter. The mother is not too large, just the right size for a cart ride and the puppy is beyond beautiful. Thank you for the picture. Here's :pray: they find their forever home soon.

Have you tried Petfinders? Below is the link where you can search by breed and location.

My veterinarians office in Summerfield has found a stray female Boxer/Lab mix, about 8 yrs old, tan color, spayed, no chip, sweet personality, and are holding this beautiful dog, until someone either claims her or takes her home to a loving environment. Could you be those new adoptive parents? Please feel free to call me: 352 633-3169 :D

What a wonderful vet you have to do this - let's hope and :pray:
