The LRKC offers
a service to match Labrador Retrievers that need a
new home to people looking for a Labrador Retriever,
but not necessarily a puppy.
In most instances Labradors need
a new home because their owners are immigrating or
moving to a complex where animals are not allowed.
Fortunately we see very few cases of abused or neglected
Labradors needing a new home, but we do come across
such cases and they especially need a stable new environment
with lots of special care and attention.
It would always be a good idea to
ask the previous owner about dogs’ temperament
in general, specific behaviour problems and you should
never feel obliged to take a dog that you have arranged
to see. Always be very open minded without making
emotional decisions on the spur of a moment.
Most of these Labradors are not registered
with the KUSA and the LRKC can never give assurance
whether they are indeed pure-bred Labradors. Dogs
are usually not spayed / neutered and may vary in
age from 6 months upwards.
The LRKC requests a donation from
both the previous and the new owners in an attempt
to cover the costs that may be incurred whilst a dog
is in the process of being re-homed, such as temporary
kenneling and veterinarian costs.
