Lifeboat Labs

This page is dedicated to Labrador Retrievers in need of a "Lifeboat." The dogs pictured here need your donations for help with surgery, medications or other medical ailments. Labrador Rescuers is a grass roots organization run by dedicated and caring volunteers. We count on generous people like you to send a Lifeboat to these wonderful companions of ours who just need a second chance at life. Won't you help us send a Lifeboat to one of the dogs pictured on this page?

Honey

Honey was 12 years old when her owner drop her and her brother off at the shelter. They were a bonded pair scheduled to be put to sleep. Sadly, Honey lost her brother at the shelter. She was sad, scared, and confused. We could not bare to leave her there. This lovely senior girl was rescued in her final hours and that is the joy and gratitude you see in her face. It is truly priceless! She was named Honey because she is so sweet! She is gentle and sweet and follows her foster mom everywhere. We have decided that Honey should stay with her foster permanently. To move her again would cause too much stress on her.

If you would like to make a donation to support Honey so she can receive a little bit of extra care in her senior years, please click on the sponsorship button below.

Buck

Buck was rescued from the San Diego Central Shelter in December 2009. At that time he was diagnosed with mild kidney disease. The vet thought that Buck may have suffered some type of trauma (poisoning, untreated infection, or bad dog food) at some point in his life, but felt that his prognosis was good overall. For the past several months, Buck had not shown any decline in kidney function.

About a month ago (June 2010), Buck began to have some difficulty getting around due to arthritis and the kidney disease has begun to progress more rapidly than we had expected.

Buck is living with a foster who will provide him with IV fluids 4 times per week, ensure that he is comfortable and happy, and will love him for the rest of his life.

Wally

Wally was found by a riverbank unable to walk on his right hind leg. He was taken to the shelter where there was little to no chance for him to be adopted. He was not even listed on the shelter website as adoptable. After all, he is a senior and there are plenty of puppies and young dogs that need homes. Wally found the strength to wag his tail and smile at a Lab Rescue volunteer visiting the shelter. They knew instantly that they could not leave Wally there one more second. Dogs like Wally are the reason why we do what we do to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome.

Wally is safe now and receiving the care he needs for his hip. The cost of his surgery will exceed $2000. If you would like to make a donation to support Wally, please click on the sponsorship button below.

Bailey Boo

Bailey Boo is a very special girl. She is loving, great with people and loves kids, and enjoys playing ball. Sadly, Bailey Boo has been diagnosed with cancer which has progressed more quickly than expected.

She will remain with her foster family for the remainder of her life. Labrador Rescuers will ensure that she is comfortable and will receive the medications she needs. And her foster family will provide all the love and care she deserves.

Please consider sponsoring Bailey Boo.
