Why adopt a Labrador?
Labradors are great all-rounders. They make wonderful family pets and are great company for single and elderly people.
We have all seen labradors assisting the blind and other people with disabilities, which is testament to their nature.
Labradors make fabulous companions because they are so loyal and people oriented. They live to spend time with their family and are very eager to please.
Why adopt a rescue?
The first reason is you will have a good idea of what you'll be getting. Our rescues live with foster carers in their family home so we will be able to tell you about the dog's characteristics, for example, whether it is good around children, other pets, is energetic etc.
The second reason is value for money. Why pay big money for a puppy that needs desexing, training and chews up the house? Most of our labs are pure bred and they all come desexed, microchipped, and have their worming treatments up-to-date.
A rescued dog does not mean it comes with a problem. Most unwanted dogs end up in a pound due to no fault of their own. Thousands of dogs are adopted into new homes each year where they become much loved members of the family.
