Mom and Dad are getting involved with a Lab rescue. It is called Lab Rescue of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac(Lab Rescue of L.R.C.P. Inc.)This group rescues, fosters, and adopts out Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retriever-Labrador Retriever mixes. Their volunteers are active in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, including Northern Virginia and Maryland, and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region including the Baltimore area, the greater Richmond area, Virginia's Tidewater region, Maryland's Eastern Shore, eastern West Virginia, southwest Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania. So, it is a huge organization. Mom and Dad will be volunteering out of the Tidewater region, which includes VA Beach (where I live), Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and the VA Peninsula. They will be checking out potential adopters and new adopters and more than likely, doing some fostering. I am not sure how I feel about another dog in the house, but I will try very hard to be nice. Here is a picture of a dog named Nestle who is looking for a home.....he is wrapped up and ready for Christmas! Please click on the link below for Nestle and find out all about him and all the other Labs who are waiting for a furever home!

Yay! Good for you (well good for your mom and dad). I have only fostered once but I help in other ways like working with potential adopters and I find it rewarding. Sometimes it is difficult because you are faced with the fact that you can't save them all but you will make a difference and save more than would be if you were not there. I bet there will be some submissive males that you would get along with safely if your parents decide to foster. Still they are helping either way! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteI found your great doggie bloggie through FB dog bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI was a shelter volunteer and fostered pups...I "fostered" Buddy, but couldn't give him up when others wanted to adopt him.
