My story

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

Scotch is a five-year-old, 50-pound purebred lab that was rescued from a breeder who retired him years ago, along with 13 other dogs, and relegated them to concrete kennels, where they were basically abandoned and fed on the ground. Scotch and the others would have died a slow death from heartworms, but a neighbor found a dog that had escaped the kennels, and upon returning her, discovered the horror show behind the fence at the top of the hill. At one point, Scotch was a show dog and actually lived inside the house until he was no longer useful to them. He was petrified when we got him, but he loves other dogs and is bringing him out of his shell. He loves being back in a home, and all of the good habits have returned. Scotch will be fine and is looking forward to another chance at a better life. If you would like to foster-to-adopt Scotch, please visit 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.
