AVAILABLE DOGS
UPDATED: JUNE 4, 2009.
**Remember to click your "Refresh" or "Reload" button on your browser to see the latest updates**
Our listings of available Labs are broken into two categories: rescue dogs and owner placements. Both kinds of available dogs are in need of a home but the method in which the dog is placed is different depending on the category. Please read more information about the difference between rescue dogs and owner placements.
PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT LISTING APPLICATIONS NOR REHOME DOGS WITH A HISTORY OF AGRESSION.IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING A LABRADOR RETRIEVER, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE AN ADOPTION APPLICATION TO START THE ADOPTION PROCESS. NO ADOPTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED WITHOUT THIS. PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT LONG DISTANCE LISTING APPLICATIONS OR ADOPTION APPLICATIONS.Whether a Lab is a rescue or owner placement, Calgary Purebred Labrador Retriever Rescue requires that it be spayed or neutered and its vaccinations be current prior to adoption. We try to carefully screen new adoptive homes and require home visits irregardless of whether a dog is a rescue or owner placement. Be sure you understand all our requirements (for example, a fenced in yard), so that you aren't disappointed if your adoption application is turned down. We charge a minimum adoption fee and also ask that our veterinary and transportation costs are covered. These funds are used to rescue other dogs and are usually a fraction of the cost of a Labrador Retriever puppy. The average age of the dogs we help to place is 2 to 5 years old but occasionally we get younger dogs too.
Note:
GWK = Good with Kids
GWD = Good with Dogs
GWC = Good with Cats
GWLS = Good with Livestock

**NEW REFERRAL** - TOMMY - Tommy is a mastiff cross 1/2 English Mastiff and 1/4 bullmastiff and 1/4 cane corso.
He is a tall lean boy, neutured since six months. He is now four years old. Up to now he has been living in the
City of Calgary with a single young woman and is accustomed to downtown walks and visits to Eau Claire. He was
fortunate enough to meet Robert Duvall when that gentleman was in town and went for a walk with him along the river.
Tommy is highly socialised to other dogs and loves people, however his enthusiasm and size make him appropriate for
life with older children rather than small ones. It would be preferable for him to be the only dog as he is a highly
devoted dog.
Tommy had been on rest therapy for a ripped cruciate ligament, which the vet has recommended rest over surgery. He is
healing, but must be kept quiet as possible for the next few months. He cannot handle laminate flooring. He will be
a wonderful family companion, highly devoted and good natured. He is fairly high energy so once he is healed, he does
have need of regular exercise.
