The process for adopting one of our Labrador Retrievers starts with completing an application. The adoption fee varies according to the age of the dog and helps offset the medical costs that are incurred. All dogs are spayed/neutered, given all vaccines and are treated for infections and allergies if needed. Serious medical problems are addressed and treated. Fees also are used for behavioral training and boarding facilities when necessary.

Our application asks questions regarding your history with dogs, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for in a Labrador Retriever. Once your application has been received, it will be reviewed, and references will be contacted. You will be called for a phone interview and a home visit by one of our volunteers. ALL family members must be present for the home visit.

The volunteer will be looking for information on where the dog will spend the day and evening, and whether you have adequate space as well as an understanding of the needs of a Lab. We require that all of our dogs be “inside dogs”. Labradors are very unhappy if left outside unattended, even if they are with another dog. After your home check, final arrangements  will be made for you to pick up your new family member.

Adopting a dog is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Your dog will be a part of your family for a long time, and can provide you with years of enjoyment and wonderful memories. Our goal is to ensure that all our dogs find permanent loving homes and each applicant finds the perfect dog.
