My story

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

Meet Biscotti
Biscotti is a 2 year old male that was brought to a kill shelter as a stray. He had his freedom ride yesterday from the shelter and is understandably still very nervous. He seems to be more shut down than Barley. There’s no telling how long these sweet boys were off on their own. He did relax a bit once he was back in his kennel.

Biscotti will be getting neutered early next week along with having a minor surgery on his eyelid. His recovery should be quick and will not affect his quality of life moving forward. Then this sweet boy will be ready for his new home!

** Biscotti is looking for a foster or forever home**

FOSTER ADOPT

Foster update: Biscotti has been in a foster home for almost a week now and has made a lot of progress. When we picked him up at the vet’s office, he was really nervous and kept his tail tucked. Yet he was just as sweet and gentle as he could be from the moment he walked over to us. Once we got home, the tail started wagging and he opened up a bit. He immediately took to our other dogs and it’s clear having other furry buddies around puts him at ease. He has come out of his shell over the last several days and showed us how much he loves playing with toys. In fact, he loves them so much he sometimes has a hard time deciding on which one to play with. You can pretty much guarantee wherever he is in the house, he’s going to be surrounded by a sea of toys. He also enjoys chasing balls in the yard, but is still working on the bringing them back part. He has a goofy personality that is hard to resist and adores attention from humans. There have been no accidents in the house, so we think it’s pretty safe to say he is potty trained
Come say hello to sweet Biscotti at our adoption event on Saturday!

More about this rescue

Labrador Friends of the South (LFS) is an incorporated, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of homeless Labrador Retrievers in the Southeast region. We are 501(c)(3) status.

LFS relies solely on donations, fundraising events and adoption fees to function and continue saving and placing homeless Labradors. We do not receive any state or federal funding. LFS is an all volunteer organization of people who give their time, effort, and love to protect the breed from the perils of pet over-population and irresponsible pet ownership. Our ultimate goal is to help these dogs find new, loving, forever homes.

The Labradors in our program receive veterinary care and temperament testing before being eligible for adoption. Since our goal is to place our Labradors in forever homes, we consider each Labrador’s history (if any), temperament, training and other skills, and energy level. We then assess each adopting family’s preferences, home environment, lifestyle, and personality in order to make the best possible match for a successful adoption.

Labrador Retrievers and Labrador Retriever mixes are the most popular family pets in the country. Unfortunately, this statistic means that they are the most likely to end up in the animal shelters as strays or unwanted pets. Perfectly healthy, sweet- tempered Labs are put to sleep everyday, sometimes without the benefit of a painless euthanasia drug, simply because there are not enough good homes for them.

We believe that there is a misconception that these Labs and Lab mixes have behavioral problems or extensive health issues that caused their owner's rejection. The truth is that the vast majority of these dogs find themselves suddenly abandoned by their owners and the only family and home they have ever known. This often happens because their owners lacked compassion or education about being a good, responsible pet owners. Sometimes these homeless pets are victims of unlucky circumstances or tragic events that caused them to become separated from loving families.

Please open your heart and your home to a Lab who needs your help. They will show you their appreciation with lots of tail wags, body wiggles and kisses. No matter the circumstances of their past, these homeless Labs are likely to bond completely and deeply with their new caretakers and make wonderfully affectionate and loyal companions for the rest of their lives.

Thank you for visiting Labrador Friends of the South. Feel free to contact us for more information at labfriendinfo@gmail.com.
