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.
