My story

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

Our sweet girl, Lizzie, is a six-month-old, 30-pound mix hit by a car and picked up by a shelter. The impact broke her front leg, and unfortunately, she was in the shelter so long that the bone began to fuse in a bad position, so it had to be amputated. Luckily, we found a wonderful foster, which was the only reason we could rescue her, and she is recuperating and comfortable and walking around already. Before surgery, the foster said she was wonderfully calm, perfect in the house, and great with all her dogs, even the cranky ones. If you want to adopt or foster to adopt Lizzie, please click the "Adopt" button and submit an Adoption application.



FROM THE FOSTER: Lizzie is a quiet, playful young girl. She is not a barker. Even though she had to lose a front leg, she had no trouble getting around quickly. Steps are no obstacle for her. Lizzie likes to play with all her foster friends and loves to carry a soft toy in her mouth and then collect them to share her bed. She also loves to snuggle with you while listening to quiet music or watching TV. Lizzie hasn't had any "accidents" in the house and enjoys leash walks. She truly is a sweetheart!

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.
