There are quite a few lab mixes at my local Humane Society and just thought I would give it a shot posting them here to see if anyone could help any of them..

Lisa, this is a NO KILL facility.

About Us...
We are frequently asked how long we keep animals at our shelter, if we are a "no-kill" shelter, and what will happen to an animal that is brought to the Humane Society.

We are animal lovers.* We hate the idea of putting an animal down -- for any reason.* However, unlike other shelters, we take-in all animals -- including abused and medically neglected animals.* There are times when an animal is simply so vicious that we can not responsibly adopt the pet to a family.* We have, at other times, been told by our veterinarian, that it is not humane to extend the life of a very sick animal.*

We make every effort to find homes for every animal in our care.* Sometimes, this can take months.* There is no "time limit" on an animal's stay.* When our shelter is over-crowded, we rely on a network of "foster families" to take care of our pets.* All the while, we have increased our efforts to "get the word out" about our pets (e.g. this website, pictures, newspaper publicity, etc.)* Our efforts pay off.

The Staff and Board of Directors at the Humane Society love pets, and our actions bear out that simple fact.** Our animal guests get the very best care while they are with us.

Most PA shelters are not rescue friendly. Some will work with breed specific rescue but normally they do not let all breed rescues pull from them??? I'm in PA and would definately help out if anyone needed me to.

They are kind of No Kill. They contacted me a few weeks ago about a mix named Sassy. She has been there for a long time.

The situation we have now is that we have an 8 year old lab mix female that will probably be put down because we are in great need of cage space. Due to her being one of our older dogs I know she will be next to go.

Adoptions have been slow here and I have SO MANY local dogs needing help that I am not able to take her in. I do have her listed as a cross post on my website though. Sometimes there is not much more than that you can do :(
