Georgia Lab rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated in finding homes for abandoned and abused Labs. This vid is dedicated to the staff and volunteers of GLR for their hard work in keeping the rescue going and finding homes for the many labs without one. (Please read this, I know it?s a lot.

Some GLR FAQ's: *These are only a couple I was able to put on. The rest on the on website* When was it founded? In August 1998, a year after losing her beloved 12-year-old black Lab, Kim Williamson consulted with her other two Labs about opening their hearts and their home to a rescued lab. She wanted to rescue a Lab, being painfully aware of the overpopulation statistics related to purebred animals in the state of Georgia. When an attempt to locate a nearby group failed, Kim knew something had to be done. After consulting with the National Labrador Club and contacting other breed rescue organizations, the plunge was taken and Georgia Labrador Rescue was born. What is Georgia Lab Rescue?s mission? To promote humane principles, ensure proper placement of animals within our care, and to help eliminate overpopulation of Labradors through education and understanding. We believe that every animal has a specific fit with that one special family or person. This is why we are committed to successful placements of our dogs, with one goal in mind. A happy ending for all! Where does GLR get the dogs in its program? Unfortunately, there is no lack of Labradors in need of a home. Dogs come into the GLR program through a variety of avenues. Whether it's from a county shelter, humane society, picked up by a concerned citizen, or surrendered by its owner ? each dog is evaluated by an experienced GLR volunteer before it can enter into our program. GLR does not accept aggressive dogs into the GLR Program, this includes aggression towards other dogs. Since June 1, 2005, GLR requires that all new intakes be purebred Labradors. Papers are not required but standard characteristics and appearance will be mandatory.
