I just lost my beautiful Hope to a tragic accident. She was hit by a car in the alley behind my house. I am so heart broken you have no idea.
I know I will start to heal a bit if my house is full of Lab energy again.
I do live in Vancouver BC but am willing to travel a bit.
please let me know. I am looking for an adult male/female. Black or yellow, field or English type.
Just want one of those gregarious, funny, enthusiastic dogs in my life again.
Leave message here or PM me
So happy for you that you're ready for a new friend!
Try looking on Petfinder-they have listings of dogs in the area from lots of different rescues. You can even narrow your search based on breed. https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search...er&distance=25
If you are willing to go to the Seattle area, check out Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue.
Hi thanks you for that. I have been on their site as well.Quote:

Calgary seems to have a purebred lab rescue but they didn't have any labs available for adoption when I last looked at their site. Sometimes breeders have an adult lab available too.
You've probably already checked these sites but just in case...
Hi Java: thanks for this information. I know the Dogwood Rescue. I checked there but didn't know about the Kelowna rescue. i guess they are everywhere. It breaks my heart how many people just give up their dogs so easily. So many dogs needs homes. Tragic.
I am in the panhandle of florida and I saw that at Alaqua animal refuge... has a beautiful black labbie n amed Sophie Girl up for adoption. She just completed training at the compassionate friends... I think that is the name... she is 4 years old.. the animal refuge is in Freeport, FL.. if you want to look it up...

Yes.... He may be more than Alix wants but to me, he sounds like a typical adolescent. If in my home, he'd have a balanced training program and I bet once he learned what rules were, he'd be a happier dog. I took in several labs like this one when I was still fostering and 10 days to 2 wks w/ structure produced amazing results. :)Quote:

Does anyone have Alix's email? I lost it... there are 2 more up in Victoria (4 & 8yo) whose owner put them on CL for $50 ea. SIGH!!!
The board used to allow either PM or email (without disclosing the recipient's address)...maybe it still does that?Quote:

Usually a young lab like him would be snapped up quickly but based on the write up, I think they're holding out for the right lab-experienced person who will put in time & effort to train him. They have a new video of him up and a few more pics.
hi: I actually went to see him yesterday. He was out for a walk. I waited quite a while for him to come back but then had to leave.Quote:

Then we found Daisy, our 7 year old chocolate lab who has just retired from breeding. We just brought her home today in fact (New West is home). I wish you the best finding a lab! They are good dogs!
