It is difficult to put into words how wonderful it is to have tyler in
our lives. June and the team at labrador welfare matched us together
perfectly. Although I have never had a rescue dog before but all i can
say is if your thinking about adopting a dog June and her team are the
best people to find you the perfect dog. I was sad to hear that funds
are running low for the labrador welfare with vets bills needing to be
paid and more dogs needing good homes. Please think of adopting a dog.
You would not believe how adopting Tyler has enriched our lives and i
have made several new dog walking mates!!! I am going to try and get
some media coverage in our local paper to hopefully encourage more
people to consider adopting a dog or supporting labrador welfare. is
this something you could do in your area? Merry Christmas to all and
best wishes for 2009 |

Just wanted to say a big thank you to June and all at labrador rescue.We
had to have our black labrador casey put to sleep at the age of 15 and
we were missing having a dog so much, the house felt empty. with the
help of labrador welfare we recently adopted a black labrador called
Tyler and she is adorable!It feels like we have known her forever.We
have so much fun with her although she loses on average one ball a
day!!! Great fun trying to find them though! I must say we did not laugh
the day she brought in a dead mouse and popped it on the lounge carpet!
Tyler has made me and my two daughters very happy. Thanks again. |

I have a black labrador (7 months) who is adorable but a handful at the
same time, loves to play and likes to be on the go all the time. Didn't
get her from rescue but would consider rehoming a dog in the future.
Looks like a brilliant site, with nice people. |

It was with deep regret and many many hours of soul searching to try and
find a way around an awful situation...that we decided to give our
gorgeous yellow lab Buster up in August this year,we discovered this
brilliant place and got in touch with June,she helped us see that even
with how upsetting it was to give Buster up we were doing the right
thing by giving him the chance to go to a home where he had people
spending more time with him,since we had got him my job had become more
demanding and I couldnt spend as much time walking him,playing with him
as i would have liked.We took Buster in and have kept a close eye on his
stay at the kennels and were very happy(if not a litle sad too as it
means we cant keep up to date with his progress)to see he was up for
adoption,and looking today I cant find him on either the dogs for
re-homing or the dogs re-homed???I am presuming he has recently been re-homed.Thanks
for all the help and the reassurance he will be fine and we did the
right thing.Keep up the good work!!!!!If you have re-homed Buster the
22month yellow lab I hope you have many happy years with him and his
excitable ways!!Thanks again June. |

hi its me again milos doing well and after some months of long and hard
thinking about getting milo a companion we decided it would be the best
(AT THE MOMENT)not to have another lab as much as i would LOVE another
we decided it wasnt fair because the house and car are not big enough
for 2 large dogs, but it didnt end there milo and myself where having
breakfast when the doorbell rang and it was my friend with her puppy
(jack russell) and going against everything we said about NO puppies, we
offered her a home. Match made in heaven milo and poppy were made for
each other, they spend every hour together, playing, eating &
sleeping(bit of a size difference) but they dont mind.if someone could
tell me how to upload pics i would love for everyone to see how milo is. |

It continues to get worse regarding the animal situation in our home.
We have had the bunny returned to us when we got back from our holidays
and \'Oh no\', the son & hubby have the watery eyes and sneezing with
him. At least a rabbit can live outside. We couldn\'t bear to give up on
another pet. Funny how I always recognise people by their dogs,
especially the lab people... and it feels wrong that more people than
ever are buying labs now, obviously they are trying to upset me. I have
to stop being so touchy! Recently whilst in Scotland, we came across a
family that had three labs, yellow, choc and black. I was soooo
jealous! Maybe in 40 years when my son has left home and I live a a
disabled shelter because the hubby has ran off to Vegas, then a pup can
keep me company. Love to June and all you Labrador people. After
thought: Think about it; have you ever met a horrible human who owns a
lab? I haven\'t.

I left a message 1year ago to say I hope to find another lab from this
amazing charity and I\'m pleased to say it could be soon, as for milo
he\'s the best we recently took our first camping holiday with him (in a
tent) it was the best hol ever milo still enjoys swimming (in summer)
bit cold now so he is spoilt with a momthly warm hydrobath and we have
just finished training so we can take him mountain biking safely he
loves a good run in the forest weekly. Such a quick learning dog he was
matched to us perfectly. Being a childminder I was worried about him but
he works well in the house being so gentle around kids knowing playtime
is for outside, we are now looking for a friend for him as our 3 guinea
pigs died recently I can tell he misses his kisses from them and the
hamsters not the same (she bites) so hopefully soon.

We have now had Duke for over 3 months & he really is an absolute
treasure, he loves running & playing with other dogs but in the house is
quite content to lay quietly unless his toys are out! He is a very
clever dog & was superb when I came out of hospital a few weeks ago
after a major op, soon realising I wasn\\\'t annoyed with him when he
came up to me & went to lay down straight away. So pleased we got in
touch with Labrador Welfare |

Just got back from our hols camping in Ashbourne.The look on Errols face
was a picture. Were they honestly expecting me to rough it at my age! As
the week went on he gave himself the job of sitting outside the tent and
saying hello to everyone as they went passed. We found a nice steady
walk for him on the Tissington trail.As usual he made new friends and
seemed to really enjoy the holiday. Hopefully we can take him again next
year. |

Well, we have just come back from holiday (camping at Whitby) and there
is not alot that I can complain about with Harvey. He was (as he always
is) the perfect dog. He absolutely loved the beaches and was able to run
round like the nutter he is. He was brilliant at night and just slept on
his cushion in the tent and didn\'t once try to escape under the canvas.
He finally discovered that he was a dog and that he could bark as he did
not like it when the kids went off playing on the beach without him. I
can honestly say that Labrador Welfare have done the best job ever
matching us with Harvey and again a great big thanks and I wish we had
done this sooner. |

Just come back from fun day at Rainbow kennels. Such a joy to meet so
many happy dogs and happy dog owners, not one grumble or growl to be
heard. For years, before they all sadly passed away I used to be mom to
a family of terriers.Then I adopted my lab \'Paddy\' in April this year.
It was so pleasing that today every dog Paddy wanted to play with (and
he wants to play with every dog he meets)they also wanted to play with
him. It was great to meet some dogs I have only previously seen on the
web site and they were as lovely in real life as they are in the photos.
Labrador owners are as nice as their dogs and I\'m proud to be part of
that pack.Thoroughly enjoyed the day and will definatly go again next
year.Thanks again to all at Lab welfare.XX |

We have had Duke for just over 2 weeks & can\'t believe how well he has
settled. Our old black lab Zak died 6 weeks ago & when we were contacted
to say there was a suitable match we weren\'t sure if it was too soon,
but as soon as we saw Duke we knew he was right for us. He loves going
for walks in the park, chasing his ball & getting used to meeting other
dogs & people. He has settled very quickly at home to say he was only 18
months old when we got him. Thanks to everyone involved in rehoming, you
do a great job. |

Eddie arrived with us a year ago after a number of changes of home and
he was only just a year old.He is our third labrador welfare adoption
and has proved to be a delight - at first he was in quite an agitated
state but a year on he is far less anxious and has settled doewn with
our elderly labrador Tetley a treat . The important thing for us has
been to stick with it and expect that with such a disrupted history we
would have an anxious boy on our hands . he is certainly the brightest
of the four labradors we have had and has reminded us of the bonuses of
having a young dog-he is great fun always ready for an adventure . Thank
you to June for her support , the message from our family is that
persevering is well worth it, but you have to look at the long term
picture if the first weeks are a little demanding. Eddie is part of our
family and will not be moving on again! |

Comments:We have had Harvey now for just over two weeks, it feels like
he has lived with us since he was a puppy. I could never imagine that a
dog could settle in so well and so quickly in to a new home that has got
two active young children. The support and contact that we have received
since adopting Harvey has been excellent. It felt that if we did have
any problems then we were never alone and could ring at any time for
help. We were rather apprehensive about getting a dog and expected to
have some teething problems when we first came home and thought that he
would take some time to settle in. After the car ride home where he just
sat in the car without any fuss, wandered round the garden and didn\'t
dig anything up and introducing him to the kids we knew that we had made
the right choice of dog. The first night was amazing, we put his cushion
down and gave him a treat, he laid down and we didn\'t hear anything
from him until we came down the next morning. I can honestly say that I
wish we had done this sooner as now cannot imagine being without
Harvey. Thanks to all at Labrador Welfare and will certainly encourage
others to use you should they want a rescue dog. |

Rocky has been living with us now for 6 months, he has perfect manners
in our home and is adaptable in all the situations we have presented to
him, he is great with the children & our cat. he has got fitter over the
few months and put some weight on, He is a very BIG lab, but we were
advised by our vet that he needed more weight on. We do have a spot of
bother around other dogs , but i have found the support & encouragement
& advice always recieved from June & gang extremley helpfull. I would
recommend Lab welfare to anyone looking for a rescue dog To come here !
We adore or Beautiful Boy. |

Dear June, We are already on your books and have fostered two dogs
through you. The first, Bramble for nine months and had to be put to
sleep because of a cancer on his face, and the second, Max who we have
had for five years. He came to us from Hull via some kennels at
Doncaster. He has been a lovely dog in every way, but suufered a series
of fits recently and is at present on medication. During the last few
days his condition has worsened rapidly and he is blind in his left eye
and has lost the strength in his back legs, especially the left-hand
one. On the advice from the vet we are regretfully having to put him to
sleep tomorrow(11.04.08). We hope to be able to have another Labrador
as soon as possible, but will contact you by telephone shortly. Kind
Regards, Hazel & David Barnes, Stanton-Lees, Matlock. 01629732372, |

It is 3 years to the day since Oscar our now 4 yearold black Lab came to
live with us. He is just so wonderful and although he was supposed to be
quite destructive he really is not. After that first day when he ran in
and out of the house at great speed, chased the cat upstairs etc and I
wondered what we had done we have not looked back. He quickly learnt
what he could and could not do (he has never tried to go upstairs again)
and is a joy and a delight and we wonder why we waited so long before
having a dog. So many people love him including some who used to be
scared of dogs. A friend who is not too well volunteered to walk him a
few days a week and realises that it is not only Oscar who benefits from
the regular fresh air, exercise and meeting people! So if you are
thinking of adopting a dog from Labrador Welfare I would recommend that
you take the plunge - as long as you have thought it all through
carefully. |
