| As we return from celebrating the holiday season and begin a New Year, we’d like to take a moment and reflect upon the many things we have to be thankful for last year. The many amazing Labradors & Lab mixes that have found their way into our rescue, seeking nothing but love, a warm place to call home, and maybe a belly rub every now and then! The wonderful, caring families who open their homes and their hearts to Labs |

There's something about a
big shiny black dog that just
appeals to me. Maybe it's
because they appear to be
somewhat mysterious and
less readable in their facial
expressions than a lighter
coated dog. Perhaps I love
the breeds that are dark
coated-the Shepherds,
Rotties, Dobermans and
Black labs-big, loyal
working dogs that
demand attention by their
mere presence. (continue...)

Being a volunteer foster home can be as rewarding as
it is challenging! We are always looking for foster
homes—the more foster homes we have, the more
Labs we can pull from shelters and puppy mills and
eventually match with their forever homes. Fostering a
Lab in need – is this something you think you can do?
Two of our dedicated volunteers and foster moms,
Peggy McGee and Mary McGee, definitely think it is
something they can do and do well!

It is with pride, appreciation and congratulations that we acknowledge the
dedication of Peggy and Mary McGee. Since they began volunteering with our
Rescue in 2004, they have fostered 50 dogs! Peggy and Mary put together a
wonderful tribute to their 50 foster dogs. Sit back and enjoy the show!
Update: Since posting this photo show, these wonderful foster Moms took
in a pregnant female who presented our rescue with 9 beautiful pups. So,
these amazing volunteers are well on their way to the next 50 foster dogs.

| Spay & Neuter What’s in it for you? |
| Nearly one-half of the eight million companion animals who enter shelters each year are euthanized through no fault of their own. Spaying and neutering saves lives by reducing the companion animal overpopulation. Change begins with you! Please click here for further information about spaying or neutering your pet. |
