My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hershey is an eight-year-old, 60-pound lab mix picked up by the shelter as a stray dragging a chain. He was thin and not in great shape, but he quickly made friends in the shelter, and they begged us to take him. They told us that he loved squeaky toys and balls, was treat-motivated, knew how to sit, lie down, stay, and shake, and was also good on a leash. He was lucky to find a great foster home and is doing well with their large senior female lab. If you want to adopt or foster to adopt Hershey, please click the “Adopt” button and submit an Adoption application.

FROM THE FOSTER: If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a dog to keep you safe, Hershey is the guy for the job. He’s a very healthy seven-year-old, 70-pound neutered male. Fantastic in the house - perfectly house trained, can be left alone without being crated, knows commands like sit and stay. He likes to hang out with his people/people go for rides in the car, play ball, and be in a house with a female dog. Hershey was found as a stray dragging a chain. When he was fostered in a home where he was safe, warm, and fed, he realized he’d never had it so good, so he tended to want to guard his home from strangers. We can provide additional information about this. If you live a quiet life without many strangers coming over and want a loyal companion, please get in touch with us to learn more.

More about this rescue

Atlanta Lab Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit (501-c3) organization, whose volunteers have years of rescue experience. Our mission is to identify and rescue Labrador Retrievers and large breed mixes from overwhelmed shelters and abusive situations and place them in secure, loving homes. We average 30-40 dogs in the program at any given time and in our first 10 years, we have rescued over 3500 dogs.

Prior to an Atlanta Lab Rescue dog being adopted, each dog undergoes an extensive examination by our veterinarians, including a comprehensive blood profile, is updated on all vaccinations, spayed or neutered and micro chipped. Health issues that require additional treatment such as heartworms, surgery, etc, are addressed prior to adoption. In addition, each adoption includes free access to our Atlanta Lab Rescue trainer. At Atlanta Lab Rescue we firmly believe that a healthy, well trained dog is the key to the successful integration of a rescued dog and ensures a wonderful, loving companion for years to come.
