July's 2nd Dog of the Month!

Meet Ms. Layla

Layla is your typical loving puppy. She's very excited and happy to be here. She is approximately 11 weeks old and full of energy!!!!

Layla is a very smart little girl who is doing great with learning to walk on a leash and even some basic commands. She is a bouncy, and active puppy and does really well with kids and she is learning to like cats as well. She is also learning all about life with other animals like chickens, ducks and horses. Layla is doing very well with house-breaking and crate training - and the general "rhythms of the day". She will love to join a family who will include her in their lives!

(Mindy, our first July dog of the month was adopted, so we are now featuring Layla!)

Please don't breed or buy while shelter pets die!

Everyday 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are also born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, other animals, and cruel humans. You can help just by spaying and neutering your pets, don't ever buy from a pet store, as almost every one of them uses some form of a puppy mill, and remind people to adopt from a shelter or a rescue. Thank you!

Our Mission:

We are dedicated to finding and saving neglected and unwanted labs and lab mixes from rural areas, as well as local areas, and find them wonderful, loving homes to thrive in. We also strive to teach the general public to spay and neuter their pets to help control the pet overpopulation problem.

Our Plea for Black Labs!

Please read our plea for black dogs! You may look at our pictures and wonder why there are mostly Black Labs on our website. It is because those are the ones that need the most help. We have several wonderful Black Labs and Black Lab mixes that we haven't had much interest in. These are very special dogs because they are the ones that are put to sleep in shelters most often. There are so many of them and people just pass them by. If you are searching for a non Black lab, think again. There are some absolutely wonderful Black labs that need your assistance now. We have a black lab waiting for us to take her and we can't until one of ours is adopted out. Please help to save Black Labs. They are just as worthy of our love as Yellows and Chocolates!!!!!!!!!

Dogs in Our Lives

We aren't house-proud. If we were we wouldn't abide the scratches on the doorframe, the holes in the screen, the darkened shine of worn spots on the chair. We would wince at the mottled carpet and fret at hair clinging to our clothes.

We don't. If anything, we lovers of a dog are a tolerant lot, finding greater value in the unabashed affection of our friend than immaculate sofas. Shoes can be replaced, but loyal labradors are timeless.

Without our dogs our houses are cold receptacles for things. Dogs make a fire warmer with their curled presence. They wake us, greet us, protect us, and ultimately carve a place in our hearts and our history. Our reflection, our lives are often referenced in parts defined by the all-too-short-lives of our dogs.
