***UPDATE***
Maddie has been adopted and found a wonderful forever home! We couldn't be more grateful or happy for this sweet girl. :) The Rescue is now trying to pay off the remainder of her boarding/medical costs. There was not an adoption fee for this sweet girl, so the Rescue is looking for help in covering those costs. If you can donate even a dollar, please use our PayPal donation link below. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!
~Khuna - One Lucky Little Labrador....~
Meet Khuna, a gorgeous purebred 5 month old female Labrador retriever. Khuna is one lucky little girl, she not only survived being hit by a car, but ended up at a very generous and kind Veterinary Hospital who were able to take her in when her owners decided that they could not keep her. Khuna was able to get the surgery needed to correct the damage done to her hip, and has recovered perfectly! She is a happy and healthy 5 month old yellow Lab pup, who is ready for her new home.
If you are interested in meeting/adopting sweet Khuna, please send an e-mail to utahlabrescue@hotmail.com for an application. The Rescue is a not for profit group run by just a few volunteers from their homes. We do not receive any funding what so ever, and are in desperate need for donations to help pay for Khuna's surgery costs. Her adoption fee will not pay for everything, so we are hoping to raise enough donations to pay off her medical bills. If you can assist even with a dollar towards Khuna's medical costs, please use our PayPal donation link below to make a donation. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! We wouldn't be able to help Labs like Khuna without your support. :)
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 the 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 in loving comfort!
We want to continue being a resource for our City shelters when they have senior Labs. 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 utahlabrescue@hotmail.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. 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 send and e-mail to utahlabrescue@hotmail.com. Thank you so much for helping us 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, and All About Pets Veterinary Services in Provo - Thank you so much for your kindness and excellent services to both the public and rescue groups!
Thank you to 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.
Adopting a friend
An application must be filled out before a dog can be met/adopted. Please e-mail utahlabrescue@hotmail.com for an application and to set up a meeting.
Puppy Adoptions: $300 (Puppies are dogs 4 months and younger)
Includes: spay or neuter, ALL rounds of puppy vaccinations including Rabies, de-wormings, and a microchip.
Adult Adoptions: $200 (Over 4 months of age)

Every adoption comes with a month of pet health insurance from Shelter Care, and discounts on training from Puppenschnoodles Training in SLC (see www.happyhealthypup.com for more information), what a great deal!
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.
The No Lab Left Behind program was started in Peykos' honor to help rescue and rehome loving seniors like Peykos from our City shelters.
