My story

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

Keela is a one-year-old, 48-pound lab mix who was taken to a vet by her owner when she was hit by a car. The vet diagnosed her with a broken leg and splinted it until she could see a surgeon, but they never took her and instead returned with her a week later with no splint. Keela dragged herself around without using her back legs, but the owner said she couldn't get treatment. The staff recognized that Keela was suffering and needed help, so they gave the owner rescue contacts and non-profit groups to call to help with finances, but she didn't do any of them. A couple of weeks later, with our commitment to take her and help cover the costs, they got the owner to surrender her. Keela has had three surgeries, and the staff at the clinic has rallied together to get her on social media, raise $5000, get their drug reps to help with preventatives, and even foster her through the process. She is finally ready to go to a new home and will be an excellent companion for someone. She is housetrained and crate-trained, is good with other dogs, and loves children. The wonderful vet staff made miracles happen, and Keela is ready for her new home.

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.
