Welcome to Labrador Rescue

Join us in welcoming the newest member of Labrador Rescue!

We are pleased to introduce the newest member of Labrador Rescue! Jesse is now 4 weeks old and has already shown us why every family should have a Labrador. Before he was even born, he would bounce around every time he heard his Labrador family playing. When he came home from the hospital, he managed to wrap the Labs around his little finger. Every time he screamed, the Labs came running and demanded that we do everything we could to make him happy again. He enjoys nothing better than snuggling up with his favourite boys and having a cuddle. If there isn’t a Lab in the room, he refuses to settle. He loves his daily walk in his pouch, watching the Labs race around and burn up some energy, knowing full well that when we get home, all 5 Labs will curl up with him on the lounge for a nap. Thank god we have a big lounge or there would be no room for us! I am so proud that all of my boys are so gentle with Jesse without having been told. They have welcomed him with open paws and open hearts and are already super protective of him. I have no doubt that Jesse will grow up to not only be an animal lover but if his way with the boys is anything to go by, he will also have a special bond with animals that will allow him to calm even the most boisterous dogs.

Welcome to the family Jesse!

Why 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.
