Dog foster homes needed

Do you have room to foster a dog? If so, then Wild Heir Labrador Rescue could really use a hand.

Wild Heir Labrador Rescue needs you……
If you are not familiar with Wild Heir Labrador rescue, it is an organization that saves unwanted Labrador retrievers. We work to save labs from all over South Carolina ,as well as ,throughout Georgia and North Carolina. We acquire our labs from kill shelters throughout the area, owner surrenders and good Samaritans. At the present time we have about 40 adult labs and 19 puppies in our rescue. One thing that makes us unique is that all of our labs are in foster homes- we do not have a kennel facility and believe that our labs become better adjusted being in a family home environment. Which brings me to the purpose of this email- we are DESPERATELY looking for foster homes immediately…..
We have just gotten notice on approximately 13 labs that need to be removed from shelters in Greenville, Florence and Walterboro- their time is up and they will be euthanized unless someone comes to get them. Wild Heir always rises to the occasion and we do what we have to do to save every lab that we can- however- we need somewhere for them to go once we have picked them up. We are asking for any foster homes that may be available- please consider fostering a lab and please forward this email to anyone and everyone you know. It doesn’t matter where you live- if you are willing to foster we will bring the lab to you.
Fostering can be an amazing experience- it is a short term way to open your heart and your home to a lab in need. We provide transport and all vetting. You provide love and food. Even if you can only commit to a short period of time, or you think your home may not be the best suited for a lab- any loving foster home is better than the shelter or death. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent to one of these great labs or you have any questions please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you-

Hannah update

It’s been almost a week since Hannah was adopted out, and today I got another update from her new mom. It was in the form of a mother’s letter to daughter explaining the process they went through to get Hannah. Sounds like Hannah and the daughter are already best of friends and getting along marvelously and that Hannah’s in just the right home she needs to be in.

Hannah was a great dog to have around and I miss having her here, but getting the letter and knowing she’s in a great new home where she’ll get way more attention than I could give her makes it all worthwhile.

Vacation coming up so it’ll be a few more weeks before I think I’ll get another dog to foster. Can’t wait to see what the next one will be like.

St. Labby Day fun

Yesterday’s St. Labby Day party for WHLR turned out to be a little more than what I expected. I drove out there expecting to see just a small meet and greet type type thing set up, but it ended up being a whole block party instead.

Turned out to be somewhat chaotic but very fun. Both litters of puppies were out there and were hugely popular with the kids (as usual). The fundraising raffle was a pretty big success and we gave out a bunch of application forms. I think we also finalized 4 o 6 adoptions yesterday too which was great. Don’t think we sold quite as much stuff as we did during SEWE, but we generate a lot of interest.

Pictures from the event are here

A new family

Well, that didn’t take long at all.

The woman and her friend came by and pretty much fell in love with Hannah right away. Hannah hit it off with them too. I gave them a run down of the training I’ve done with her, her behaviour quirks and personality traits. Now she’s off to be with her new family. I think she’ll be in a great home and get plenty of love and spoiling. They were really nice people and fairly young, so I think she’ll be with them a long long while.

Feels good to know she’s got a good home to go to now (not that she didn’t have one here of course).
