My story

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

STAR was found as a stray in rural Oklahoma by a police officer in an abandoned home. The humane society was contacted about her and they asked A Lab for Life to help her out, and of course we did! STAR has been with her foster for a couple of months now. She's estimated to be about 4-6 years old. Storms don't bother her, as long as she can be near her person, but fireworks are a different story and she does not like them at all. STAR does have a strong prey drive, and has brought her foster multiple "presents, so cats are not recommended with her. STAR is potty trained, and good to free roam the home, as long as there's nothing left on the counter for her to investigate! STAR rides in a car well, and her foster says she's pretty sure she is the sweetest-natured dog she has have ever met. STAR loves attention, but isn't your typical cuddler, just likes to be near you. She does have some skin allergies that are being treated, but that isn't surprising after being left alone to fend for herself.

More about this rescue

A Lab for Life (ALL) provides a compassionate life-line to abandoned dogs that includes a safe haven, medical care by a licensed veterinarian, nutrition (food) and a fur-ever family through adoption. ALL promotes the humane treatment of animals in the community.

ALL was founded in July 2020 by a group of dog advocates in central Oklahoma and
Northeastern US after some had been volunteering with an out of state rescue for over 5 years. That experience solidified a local organization was needed. ALL formed to rescue as many stray, homeless and owner surrendered dogs as possible by partnering with many state-wide shelters and rescue operations. In addition to transferring homeless dogs from the shelters, fostering them in temporary homes and adopting them out, we also provide behavioral and medical resources to people who are considering surrendering their dog in an effort to keep the dog in their homes and out of the shelter/rescue system.
ALL operates under the 5 freedoms for animal welfare.
We are a brand new organization and welcome donations!
