My story

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

Waylon is a seven-year-old, 70-pound lab mix that lived on the streets in a small TN town for 3 years with his buddy, 8-year-old, 40-pound Reba. Finally, the city got tired of the complaints and had the county animal control come to get them. The pair was at the shelter for 6 months until their time was up. A local rescue stepped in to get them before they were euthanized, and they’ve had them for 2 years. The rescue is in a very rural area in Appalachia that was affected by the hurricane, and finding housing for the dogs has become very difficult, so they have reached out to us for help. The two are best friends and have been through thick and thin together. They love running in a fenced-in and are good on a leash, are crate trained, are housebroken, and are good with other dogs. They are very food- and praise-motivated and are total sweethearts who deserve a better life than kennels. If you want to change their lives by fostering or giving them a forever home, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com and apply or email atlantalab979@gmail.com for more information.

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.
