Safe Harbor Lab Rescue takes in and successfully rehomes stray, abandoned or surrendered Labrador Retrievers, giving priority to those in Colorado. They are working to rescue and care for an increased number of homeless senior Labs and are committed to providing them with safe forever homes as loved companions. A grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization helps Safe Harbor Lab Rescue with their medical expenses for senior Labs. Contributor Jacky Eckard is President of Safe Harbor Lab Rescue. Safe Harbor Lab Rescue was founded in 2002 by two women with a passion for rescuing Labrador Retrievers, Leslie and Lauren. In Leslie's case, it was also a labor of love in honor of her own Lab—and best friend—Tess, a rescue who had recently passed on at age 11 and a half. As the years have gone by, Safe Harbor has become a robust, all-volunteer group that rescues about 250 Labs a year. A total of over 2,700 have been rescued since we began almost 15 years ago. As a group, we have a special love for the senior Labs in need of rescue. They have so much companionship to give and quiet wisdom. They are also the ones overlooked by shelter visitors. I've seen people excitedly look at a Lab at a shelter, then read the kennel card that shows the age as 7 years or older, only to hear them say, "Oh, that one's too old" and move on. But those are just the right ones for us! We are able to provide them with excellent veterinary care and loving foster homes, where they can remain as long as needed, and we find them wonderful adopters. We are very fortunate to work with a breed that is usually quite adaptable, and dogs who, after an adjustment period, do well in a new home. - See more at:
