including Lisa who has been adopting out Lab type pups at a Morris Plains NJ pet supply store.
We would appreciate hearing about your adoption experiences. Thank you.
We encourage you to consider adopting an older dog. They are perhaps even more devoted since they know what it is like to be without a family or
friend to love them. Most will return all the affection you have to give tenfold. Often, older dogs are harder to place because so many people want puppies. Give an older dog a chance. They can still bring years of love into your hearts and homes!Just ask Kathi of Denville--she adopted 9 yr old Molly, who saved Kathi by going for help after her new owner had fallen and hurt herself!

Rescued Dogs Can Show Off Their Talents!
Remember, you can show a rescued Labrador or other apparently purebred dog in American
Kennel Club or United Kennel Club Companion Events with the proper application,
following spaying/neutering. You don't even have to have the name of the parents of the dog or the exact birthdate--have your vet give your dog an approximate birthdate. Your children can even compete in Junior Showmanship in Breed, Agility, Rally, or Obedience Rings!See www.akc.org for their
Indefinite Listing Privilege application, now called Purebred Alternative Listing Program.

Your dog not coming with the proper paperwork need not keep you from participation in dog sports! Go online and get the blank PAL form, just in case you ever decide to show off your new rescued dog alongside all those dogs with pedigrees.
RESCUED LABRADOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
Alison's black Lab Max, adopted on referral from Labradors & Friends, appeared on in the papers promoting a national dog park movement, not just ones in NJ.Thanks, spokesdog, Max, and Alison too!
NEWSFLASH, July 2008! Jody's BALI recently earned new titles! She earned a UDX (Utility Dog Excellent) title in obedience, then followed that in agility with a MACH (Master Agility Championship). Congratulations to both members of a great team, neither one a youngster! Bali has an ILP for an adopted dog with no papers.
CONGRATULATIONS TO RESCUED LABS AND THEIR DEDICATED OWNERS FOR THEIR WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
Who We Are
"Labradors & Friends" is a small group of people throughout New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania
dedicated mostly to finding good Labradors their next good homes. We also participate in rescue of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and mixes of that small breed, the Friends of our Labradors. Most of
our adoptions are now through referral, due to lack of time, funds, and space.
Feel free to e-mail us to see what we have in rescue and on our referral
list, in addition to what is on our pet list.
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."--Edmund Burke
"I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can
do something. And just because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the
something that I can do. "--Helen Keller
Adopting a Friend
Please e-mail us to receive additional information. Consider adopting a Lab this year--there are lots of dogs out there literally dying for a good home. Don't necessarily wait until after vacation!
Volunteering and Donations
Volunteers and foster homes are always needed. COUPONS for free dog food
or supplies or paper towels are quite helpful.
