EXPERIENCED HOME NEEDED

This seven-year-old castrated chocolate boy is looking for a very special new home. He gets on well with other dogs, although he’s wary of German Shepherds. He’s a lovable boy who walks well on the lead, although he can be strong at first. He knows and responds well to normal commands.

Outside, he’s great – recall perfect and loves all animals, especially goats and horses. However, he has been food possessive in the past, so he should be left alone when eating.

He can be confrontational indoors, but he hasn’t had any issues in kennels.

YOU CAN FIND HIS FULL PROFILE UNDER PROVIDE A HOME .


10 year old boy is looking for a new home.

This ten-year-old boy has been patiently waiting in kennels for over three months, hoping to find a loving family to foster or adopt him.

Sadly, a change in circumstances has left him without a home after living there for ten years. But don’t worry, the charity is there to support him and we are happy to cover any medical costs for life for his new adopter.

He’s lived with a calm dog in his previous home, and that might help him settle in. Unfortunately, he has cataracts and separation anxiety.

If you spend most of your time at home and would love a furry companion to keep you company, he might just be the dog for you! 

He’d be thrilled with a big garden to explore, but a comfy sofa or bed is a must-have too.

After a successful home check you would be able to meet him at kennels in Lincolnshire.https://www.loveyourlabrador.co.uk/dogs/2335-yellow-male-10-years-old/?status=HomeRequired

Update on Monty from his new owner

New owner Alison sent us this update on Monty

Monty……AKA Red rocket…Monty Zoomer and squirmy wormer (due to the way he rubs his head all over me in the mornings!) Monty came to us Mid-May this year, joining Nemo, our 13-year-old yellow lab, and Goose our 18 month old yellow who had also come from LRSE&C a couple of months earlier.

He instantly established

MONTY

by Marion Clayton


Monty came into rescue as an emergency at the beginning of 2024, as his owner developed a serious illness and could no longer keep him. 

We therefore put him into a foster home with another dog and they got on well, this was a temporary placement as we knew it wouldn’t be long before we could find the right forever home for him.
Whilst in the foster home he sadly contracted Tetanus, a virus that is so rare that the vet had not seen it in a dog for 30 years.

Thanks to the decisive action by the foster home poor Monty ended up being transferred as an emergency to the Royal Veterinary College Hospital in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. He stayed there for about a week whilst they stabilised the condition. The tetanus affected all his muscles meaning that his limbs became stiff and other muscles in his body contracted. He had difficulty swallowing and the muscles in his face were also tense. Whilst in the hospital he was on a drip and a catheter.

Sheila Stevens

Sheila Stevens It is with very great sadness that we must bring you the news that our Trustee and founder member of the charity, Sheila Stevens passed away on the 18th April 2024. For all who knew her and were in contact with her, this is undoubtedly a shock as she had been an active member of the charity right up until the end. When the charity was set up in 1996, Sheila co-ordinated a huge area with help from many who knew her and shared her passion. Sheila was passionate about the welfare of labradors and actively helped set up the guidelines and working practice of the charity which we work to today.  She was loyal, honest, extremely kind and if you were privileged, as I was, to call her your friend: the very best friend you could have.   She will be so missed by the many who used to call and seek her advice, have a friendly chat, or just talk labradors The Charity has been so fortunate to have benefitted from her wealth of knowledge, common sense and commitment over the years, and we will all feel her loss greatly. Our condolences go to her family Mark, Wendy, Thomas and Sarah at this very sad time

This lovely girl has now gone to her new family
