My story

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

Atticus is a five-year-old, 85-pound lab mix found hanging out by the local chicken joint for a couple of weeks until someone got him and dropped him at a vet. It didn’t take long for him to win their hearts, and they couldn’t bring themselves to take him to the shelter. When no one came looking for him, they asked if we could take him. While we were waiting for space to open up, the clinic staff helped by taking turns taking him home with them and discovered that he was great in the house, great with kids and other dogs, and loved to play fetch. One of his hosts was a beekeeper and would refer to him simply as “Bee.” During the day, Atticus “Bee” hangs out with them in the office, and everyone falls in love with this seemingly perfect pet. They were sad to see him go, but room opened up and we have him now. If you would like to foster to adopt this special boy, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com and apply.

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.
