Dear LELRR Supporter,

A sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out for the 2022 Lab Tie and Tails Gala! Whether you bought a sponsorship, attended the event, donated a raffle item, money or time, your support was invaluable to our success. Congratulations to everyone who won a raffle, auction, sideboard or 50/50 and a shout out to the biggest winners of the night...THE LABS!

There were many highlights of the evening: Amethyst Strings providing live music, special Lab guests Finnegan and Alphonse and of course the video that highlights the last 12 months in our rescue. Here's a link in case you missed it or were not able to attend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCYe6Qi9TcY

CLICK HERE TO LEARN about WHY your support matters...

On average LELRR re-homes 65-90 dogs annually, that’s more than one a week!

Readying a dog for a new life in a loving home involves significant veterinary work. All dogs are given a full veterinary exam which includes: CBC/chem blood panel in addition to tests for heartworm and Lyme disease. ANY conditions are treated - from amputations to tumor removal. It routinely involves extensive dental procedures, spay/neuter, treatment of heartworm and/or Lyme disease, skin and ear infections, parasites, kennel cough and much more.

All this requires a lot of funding from our supporters even though our wonderful veterinarians provide discounts. We owe them a huge thanks for this! As the organization has grown and more dogs are rescued, costs continue to rise.
