Whitley (now Sam) is Blossoming!

Here is a photo of our boy just returned from one of his daily morning walks. If the smile is an indicator, I think he enjoyed it!

Here he is again playing with a ball in the back yard.

Thanks for all your help again. We have a very happy hound and he is enriching our lives every day.
 

Sam was fortunate to join a family who called out a dog behaviourist the day after they brought him home. Starting out on the right foot! We were very impressed! Thank you!

Looks like you are reaping the benefits, as is your darling Sam :-)

Bobby is a Very Happy Boy

Hello all at Lab Rescue,

Just to let you know that Bobby is settling in well and adapting well to his new life. I walked him up to the primary school the other day and he loved all the attention from the kid's class mates.

I've attached a few pics of him in our house and backyard; he is a very happy boy indeed.

Just Beautiful !

Chocolate Bubba

This gorgeous baby girl is coming to join us on Thursday. Carole's son has chosen the name Java for her (thank you!). She is responding really well to some TLC in care.  She's had a bit of a rough start but her coat is starting to shine and she's now go, go, go! Can't wait to meet her :-).

Update On Our Gorgeous Cindy

Hi everyone

Just wanted to update you on Cindy. We picked her up yesterday afternoon and we're in love already! She is such a gentle old sweetheart. It feels like she's always been around. We've been on a few gentle strolls and she's loving them. Our daughter, A, is totally crazy about her and tells anyone who will listen 'Cindy is a good girl'. Here's a photo of the two of them.

At J's suggestion we've put artificial grass on the back steps and she's having no trouble at all with them. In fact, it's even helped our Bichon, who's always been a bit tentative going up the steps.

Thanks so much for everything. We're loving our new family addition!
 

Holly at the beach

Dear Lab Rescue Team

A big thank you to all those who have contributed towards Holly's cruciate ligament surgery, we are now passed the half way mark and I can go ahead and book a date for her surgery after Easter.

While the recovery time will be difficult for her, the final result will make such a difference to Holly's life. This girl is overweight, partly because she is a lab and eats anything and everything (dog food, cat food, horse food, chook food and failing that there is always a bit of horse or chook manure for the taking, or a bit of rotting kangaroo bone ), but also because she has continual discomfort and is unable to exercise fully.

Holly had a terrible start in life, she still bears the scar of a cigarette burn on one ear and it seems that the cruciate ligament injury could also have been the result of violence, but she has such a strong and forgiving character that, with the help of Lab Rescue, she has made an amazing recovery. As you can see in her photo she is happy, affectionate and friendly and loves life.

So thank you all who have contributed to make this surgery possible, we will keep you posted on her recovery.

Volunteer Call - Thank You

Yay!

We have had a volunteer step forward who is able to set aside 2 hours per week to help us keep foster carers supplied with a little starter kit for new dogs.

Thank you!
