| Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue Helping Labs Find Their Fur-Ever Homes |
| Operation Puppy |
a puppy mill. These beautiful pups had contracted demodex mange and could not be sold to a pet store
until the mange had been treated. Since the puppies were 3 and 5 months old, they were not wanted by
pet stores for resale. Fortunately, we were contacted by an independent rescuer to accept them into our
rescue.
Our great group of volunteers started one of the largest surrenders we had undertaken and it was a huge
success. A ‘puppy train’ departed on a Friday evening to pick up the precious cargo and deliver them to
Dr. Brad Holmsten at the Animal Clinic of Westtown Village for a check on their health and to receive their
immunizations. Sometimes we don’t know the vaccination history or the previous living conditions for
these dogs, so we have to turn to our veterinarians to help us. Each dog was examined and immunized.
There were only a few ear infections, some remains of the mange and everyone needed a bath or two.
Dr. Holmsten’s waiting room was a sea of black and chocolate Labs. What a wonderful sight!
The next leg of the journey for these dogs was back into the cars for another long ride to their new foster
homes. Another set of volunteers met up at the veterinarian’s office to pick up and deliver these precious
souls to their temporary homes. The foster families offer these dogs warmth, love and confidence.
Some don’t know how to play with toys so you can imagine the joy of seeing them pick up a toy and play
for the first time. Some aren’t very trusting of humans so you can imagine the feeling when they lie at your
feet for the first time. These dogs were fostered by our volunteers until we felt that they were ready to
move to their forever homes.
This is a story about 7 beautiful Labs who now have a wonderful, healthy and happy life. But, none of this
could have happened without our network of volunteers and foster homes. If you would like to become a
volunteer, click on the volunteer link to learn how to become a Brookline volunteer or foster home. If you
have any questions about fostering, click on the Fostering link for more information. If you would like to
help defray the veterinary costs for our rescue, click on the Donations link.
A happy ending for all...all of these pups and the one adult female have found their forever homes where
they are safe, warm, loved, spoiled and living a dog's life!
