Midnight went to the Rainbow Bridge November 10, 2008 at 2:PM.
When looking for a dog please don't over look the black ones. They are the first to die in shelters for no reason other than being black. But yet they are no different than other dogs. When taken care of properly their coats shine in the light. Other dogs coats don't do that.
Midnight was a black lab who had so much love to give. He loved being as close as he could to people. He loved to play in the water, and to give hugs and kisses.
Please for Midnight check out other black dogs.
Take a look at a black dog today - Midnight would have liked that.
MIDNIGHT WE MISS YOU
Mission Statement
Happy Labs Rescue, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the health and well being of the Labrador Retriever Breed. Our main objective is to take in, assist, rehabilitate and re-home unwanted, neglected or homeless Labrador Retrievers and Labrador Retriever mixes of all ages.
Adoption Process and Fees
If you see a Labrador that looks like he/she would be a good fit in your family, please email us for an application. We do check vet references and do a home visit before approval.
Our labs MUST be kept inside the house. Labs are people dogs and they do not do good outside on a chain.
You MUST also have a fenced in back yard. Labs need to be able to run and get plenty of excersise.
Our adoption fees depends on the amount of veterinary costs incurred.
We spay/neuter all our labs then get then healthy by getting them up to date on shots, heartworm tested and on monthly heart worm preventive meds.
Who We Are
Happy Labs Rescue is a 501 (c) (3) rescue who takes in Labrador Retrievers and lab mixes of all ages.
Our dogs come from shelters, owners who no longer can, or will, provide for them and, all too often, strays that are never searched for.
We evaluate the dogs' health and temperament. The rescued Lab goes directly to a veterinarian for a spay/neuter, vaccinations and any other necessary medical treatment.
Many of these Labs have been neglected,not only in a nutritional/medical sense, but also in a psychological/emotional sense. This socialization process promotes the dog's confidence, willingness to learn and trust.
For many Labs, this is the first love and kindness they have ever known.
Adoption event
Happy Labs needs Volunteers to help at our adoption events. If interested in helping 3 to 4 hours on Sat please email or call us
