American Lab Rescue, Inc

Description

American Lab Rescue is an all volunteer organization. It has no paid employees or salaried officers. We receive no funding from local, state or federal governments. We have no shelter facilities at this time; all animals are fostered in volunteers' homes or held at local kennels before finding permanent homes. Operating expenses are supported by adoption fees and tax deductible, voluntary contributions from the public. All money received is used solely for the animals.

American Lab Rescue, Inc. (" ALR") is a non-profit corporation that focuses on rescuing Labrador Retrievers and Labrador mixes from the southern states and find these dogs homes here in the northeast. Our rescue focus states are Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida and Texas. We have strong network of dedicated volunteer rescuers who have made it part of their life to rescue these dogs. They ask for nothing in return other than reimbursement of the veterinary medical costs and a loving home for the dogs they rescue. It is cost effective to vet these animals in the south as the cost in some circumstances is 75% less than in the northeast. ALR focus on the southern states because in the northeast there are numerous humane centers and groups that are available to assist these dogs. In the south there are few local advocates that protect these same animals. It is approximated that in the south is there are over 200,000 dogs destroyed per year in which almost 50% are Labrador Retrievers and Labrador mixes. ALR understands that we cannot save every dog in the south; however we can save a good number of them.
