November Dog of the Month

Meet Rillo - November's Dog of the Month

We are happy to introduce Rillo as Mr. November! Rillo is a very energetic two year old vanilla lab. With a clean bill of health Rillo is looking for a strong patient dog savvy family who is willing to continue working on refining his manners. Rillo doesn't require long walks or trips to the dog park but would do great with a little bit of land so he can freely tromp about, run and explore. He enjoys a game of fetch but at times lets his curiosity take over leading him to check out new sights and smells. Rillo is accustom to being top dog and won't have it any other way. While he would accept the right female canine companion, males are not really an option for this macho man. He also insists on dining alone! Rillo gingerly takes treats from the little kids at his foster home but due to his size and strength we would recommend that this robust guy go to a family that has children a bit older. Rillo is a big fan of stuffed toys and often is seen meandering about with his favorite stuffed duck clenched securely in his mouth. Rillo is wonderful with people and like all dogs enjoys leaning in for belly and ear rubs.This diamond in the ruff will be a beautiful addition to a family willing to continue training him to is full potential and realize the joys of what it means to be a family dog!

Our Mission:

We are dedicated to finding and saving neglected and unwanted labs and lab mixes from rural areas, as well as local areas, and find them wonderful, loving homes to thrive in.  We also strive to teach the general public to spay and neuter their pets to help control the pet overpopulation problem. 

 

Who We're Saving
Please don't breed or buy while shelter pets die! Minimize

Everyday 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are also born.  As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals.  As a result, millions of healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control.  Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, other animals, and cruel humans.  You can help just by spaying and neutering your pets, don't ever buy from a pet store, as almost every one of them uses some form of a puppy mill, and remind people to adopt from a shelter or a rescue.  Thank you!

Dogs in Our Lives

We aren't house-proud. If we were we wouldn't abide the scratches on the doorframe, the holes in the screen, the darkened shine of worn spots on the chair. We would wince at the mottled carpet and fret at hair clinging to our clothes.

We don't. If anything, we lovers of a dog are a tolerant lot, finding greater value in the unabashed affection of our friend than immaculate sofas. Shoes can be replaced, but loyal labradors are timeless.

Without our dogs our houses are cold receptacles for things. Dogs make a fire warmer with their curled presence. They wake us, greet us, protect us, and ultimately carve a place in our hearts and our history. Our reflection, our lives are often referenced in parts defined by the all-too-short-lives of our dogs.
