DONATIONS NEEDED FOR MAY-T'S SURGERY
This sweet little pup was taken to the shelter with a severally damaged eye, which left her with no vision in that eye. She needed to have the eye removed due to infection and to help ease the pain in the area. May-t is expected to have a full recovery, and live a happy healthy life. May-t is a very feisty pup, she loves to play, and she will soon be ready for her forever home. If you are interested in adopting May-t, please fill out an online application at www.utahlabrescue.com, Thanks!
May-t’s surgery is going to be around $350.00. Any size donation will be extremely helpful. If you would like to donate towards May-t you can either use our donate button, and make a donation through PayPal, or you can send in your donation directly to our Veterinarian. If mailing to the Vets, please put in the memo that this is for the Lab Rescue account for May-t. You can mail that to
Mountain View Animal Hospital

We thank you in advance for helping with May-t’s surgery.
Donate and Save a Life
The Rescue is a small organization run by just a handful of volunteers from their homes. We are always looking for help from the public as we receive no funding whatsoever. We rely solely on donations and the aodption fees of adopted dogs. The Rescue is grateful to accept donations of any size, and of any type -
To donate securely online through PayPal:
If donating food and/or supplies is a more convenient way to help, the rescue very much needs these items for Tilly and other Labs in our care: Large Breed Adult and Puppy dry food, towels/blankets/sheets, crates (lrg,xlg,giant), chew toys, and any other items you would like to donate. Please call or e-mail to schedule a drop-off for supplies.
~ 'No Lab Left Behind'~
Thank you to everyone who helped us kick off the No Lab Left Behind program with so much success! Senior Labs from Utah, and even one boy from Idaho named Lucky, were the first recipients of your donations and care. Thank you to the volunteers and foster homes who gave these sweet angels homes for their last days. RIP sweet Lucky, we are so happy we were given the chance to save you and get to know you. You were a wonderful example of why seniors deserve to live out their Golden Years!
We want to continue being a resource for our City shelters when they have seniors. If you know of a senior Labrador on death row at a City shelter, please contact us immediately at info@utahlabrescue.com.
Without the support of caring individuals we wouldn't be able to rescue these seniors, or any Lab at all. If you would like to donate any supplies, food, space, or make a monetary donation, please contact info@utahlabrescue.com. Donations can be made in honor of your own sweet senior who is still with you, or has passed on to Rainbow Bridge. All donations made specifically to the Peykos Memorial Fund will be used soley for the rescue of senior Labradors from the City shelters and their care.
Want to foster a senior rescued by this program? All medical needs will be met, and foster homes will be provided with food. Without homes for them to go to, we cannot rescue them, so foster homes are one of the most important parts of our Rescue.
Thank you for your support - we know the Labradors saved will be forever grateful! There is no greater love than that of a Lab in his golden years!
Can't Adopt, But Want To Foster/Volunteer?
We are always looking for more foster homes and volunteers as that is what keeps this Rescue running. There are multiple ways you can work with the Rescue:
Foster Homes: Fosters are provided with food, and are always in high demand as we are only able to rescue when we have an open foster home. There is a volunteer/foster home application available online at
www.utahlabrescue.com. Fostering is a great way to show support and help save lives if adopting isn't an option.
Volunteers: We are starting a new program working directly with each City Shelter. We want to have multiple volunteers representing our Rescue and working with their own City Shelters and the Labs at them. These volunteers will meet and spend time with available Labs, do temperament tests, check for basic health issues, test for obedience, and take pictures/video of them. We hope that by providing all of this to the public they will adopt more Labs from the shelters, especially as we are not able to rescue but maybe 10% of all those that need it.
If you would like to become a foster home or volunteer please go to
www.utahlabrescue.com and fill out the online foster/volunteer form. You can also contact us at info@utahlabrescue.com. Thank you so much for helping us to save lives!
BIG Thank You's!!!
We wanted to take the time to thank our loving foster homes and volunteers! Without you this Rescue would not exist and thousands of Labradors would not have been saved. You truly are angels!
To our wonderful Veterinarian's Dr. Daines at the Salt Lake Spay and Neuter Clinic in Murray, All About Pets Veterinary Services in Provo, and our newest addition Mtn View Animal Clinic in Sandy - Thank you so much for your kindness and excellent services to both the public and rescue groups!
Thank you to Creekside Boarding Sandy and Camp Barkalot in SLC for helping us provide temporary space for needy Labs. Your boarding/daycare services are unbeatable!
And thank you SO much to Anna with Puppenschnoodles Dog Training (www.happyhealthypup.com) for all the great work you do for the dogs, both with training and nutrition.
Who We Are
We are Utah's first and only Labrador Retriever Club and Rescue, started in the fall of 2002. Our rescue also takes in many other sporting breeds such as Pointers, Spaniels, Weimaraners, Setters, and even some x-large breeds. We have re-located to SL County, and run this from our home. Being run from our home, space and funding is very limited, and we can only take in a Lab at a time. Please be considerate of this. Also, please no calls before 9am or after 9pm. Thank you.
Our goal is to educate the public about the Labrador and its over breeding here in our State. Through this education we hope to lower the rate of breeding, increase the number of adoptions, and lower the extremely high amount Labs being euthanized at our shelters every day.

In Loving Memory Of Peykos...
Peykos was a fun-loving, beautiful, sweet Lab that we loved so dearly. He was originally a rescued dog, but was adopted by the Rescue's founder. He was a joy in their lives, a wonderful companion and dear friend. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten, and always loved.
