We were truly blessed beyond belief by the generosity of our supporters. Thank you one and all for contributing by chipping in online or by purchasing our Owen's Oreos at one of our events.<br />
<br />
Owen has been cleared by our vet to "test out" his leg by playing like the pup he is! We are so happy to hear that he has made great progress in his recovery!<br />
<br />
Next step, to find Owen a home to call his own. He is a sweet boy and should place quickly!<br />

They have 2 Labs (Dakota & Maggie) and 3 cats of their own, but they always seem to find time to help an animal in need. Not only did they foster Molly and Sam and Dusty for the rescue, they adopted their Lab Maggie when her owners lost their home and could not keep her any longer. They a</span><br />

lso opened their home again by adopting an elderly Lab (Tigger) last year when he found himself homeless through no fault of his own. All Tigger was looking for was a comfortable place to rest his head for his final days. He found that spot at the Cartwright home. Cynthia made sure Tigger got the medical care he needed to keep him comfortable and Terry barbecued special treats to keep his tummy full. When Tigger crossed over the rainbow bridge last year, I am sure he had a big smile and a spot of BBQ sauce on his face!<br /><br />Cynthia is also the rescue's media spokesperson. You may have seen her on the "Morning Blend" with our rescued dog Doris, or heard her voice on "Pet Talk with Dr. B." recently.<br /><br /><br />Thank you Cynthia and Terry for your big hearts and for always being there for Labs young and old.</div>

<br />
For the month of September, LAS VEGAS LABRADOR RESCUE is accepting cell phones for recycling (working or not). Once September is over, we will sort the phones and send them to a company that will give us a few bucks per phone. This $ will go into the cost of rescuing, rehabilitating and rescuing more Labradors. The expenses our rescue incurs include Veternarian bills and medication, food and supplies such as leashes, collars, water bowls and crates. Please consider sharing our cell phone drive with family, friends and co-workers. The more cell phones we receive, the more dogs lives we can make better. Contact the rescue for more information. lasvegaslabradorrescue@gmail.com<br />

The Hollatz family of 4, plus a lab (Champ) joined LVLR as a foster home this year. Their dog Champ is very unique. He likes to go out in the backyard and stack rocks with his mouth. Anyone who has witnessed his "shrine" building has been amazed. He would even re-stack the rocks if they were knocked over. Little did the family know, Champ would cease this habit once their foster dogs started to arrive. Then one day, they received a little chocolate lab pup named Ginger, and Champ began stacking rocks again! I think the Hollatz family took this as Champ's approval of Ginger, so they adopted her!
Their foster dogs include: Cleo, Cole, Duchess, Ginger,Rogue and Shadow.
The rescue thanks the Hollatz family for fostering!

We would like to thank everyone who came out in support of Las Vegas Labrador Rescue this past Sunday at The Soggy Dog. It was a fabulous turn-out for a GREAT cause! We had 10 of our volunteers' Labradors (and their owners) come by to visit us. It was entertaining to see the dogs come by the table, sniff the baked goods (and each other) then head over to the tubs for a scrub. We enjoyed spending time with Hana and Jordan, our celebrity adoptable dogs. They were a joy to have around. We also observed that they are no longer bonded to each other which will make it easier to adopt them out separately. A HUGE thank you to Vera, Jeff and Tracy from The Soggy Dog for always taking such good care of our rescue!

Rick and Renee Brodeen
Rick and Renee signed on with the rescue because although they LOVE dogs, their chosen career does not allow for them to actually own a dog right now.
So, they have chosen to foster! They can provide a safe haven for our rescued dogs on their own schedule, and take time off from fostering as needed for their work.
To date, they have fostered 5 dogs: Honey, Sam, Taxi, Waters and Penny.
Thank you Rick and Renee for all you do for the rescue and these lucky dogs!

They have only been with LVLR for 5 short months and have fostered 5 dogs for the rescue.
<b>That is roughly a dog per month!</b>
Their foster dogs include: Dude, Jack, Sandy, Lucas and Saydi.
This is an amazing feat because they also have 3 dogs of their own: Lucky, Beau, and Maddy.
That is true dedication. As always, we truly love our fosters, we could not do what we do without them!
Here is a picture of Laura with her foster dog Jack

Melissa is the proud Mama of 4-legged Dakota (pictured here) and Duke. Duke was one of our LVLR rescued dogs and he won Melissa's heart and now shares her home.
She has provided a loving foster home for 7 of our rescued dogs: Annie, Brewster, Doris, Duke, Lucky, Luke and Molly!
We can't say enough about our fosters. Without them we could not have rescued over 65 dogs and counting in the last year.

Clay and Mike are our first fosters to be recognized by the rescue this month. To count, they have fostered 10 dogs, and have adopted one, Oliver pictured here on the right.
They love what they do, and have set the bar for fostering.
Their foster dogs have ranged from one that was irresponsibly bred several times as a young dog prior to rescue, one that thought it was a prairie dog, and lastly one with terrible separation anxiety.
With their patient guidance and support, all of their foster dogs have found their forever homes!
