MASON UPDATE: Mason has his surgery and he is doing amzingly well. Right after the operation was up walking around like if he was in less pain than before! He is not back in his foster home where he can lie next to Mark. Thank you to everyone who donated to help pay his sugery: you always respond when one of our dogs need your help. Thank you! You can see pictures of Mason's scar in the Available Dogs page.

GHIRARDELLI UPDATE: Thanks to your amazing support Mr. Ghirardelli is on his way to a healthy life, heartworms free. He did scare for a little while but he is now doing great. In fact after his vacation in Florida he decided he liked the warm weather and won the heart of many families down there. He is now in his permanent home, playing with two other LFS dogs. Look at the next newsletter for updated pictures of Ghirardelli, now Stover.

Award

PEDIGREE® recently honored Labrador Friends of the South, Inc. of Cumming, Ga. with the “Breed Rescue of the Year” award for our efforts to rescue and better the lives of Labrador Retrievers. Each year, PEDIGREE® partners with the Westminster Kennel Club to execute an awards program that recognizes individuals, organizations and shelter/rescue groups that lend a hand to help homeless dogs in their area. The awards, handed out on February 7, 2009, were given to those who work tirelessly to raise funds for dog-related causes. Winners received an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City where they were recognized for their charitable contributions at the annual PEDIGREE® Awards Dinner. We were also given box-seat tickets to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Click here to read the official Press Release and to see pictures of us in New York receiving the award and cheering for the labs at the Westminster show.

Labrador Friends of the South (LFS) an incorporated, non-profit organization, is dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless Labrador Retrievers. We also promote the educational aspects of rescue within our communities as it relates to the ethical treatment of dogs and the importance of spaying/neutering to reduce the numbers of unwanted animals. Based in Metro Atlanta, we are active in the entire Southeastern region including Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and the Carolinas.

LFS relies solely on donations, fundraising events and adoption fees to function and continue saving and placing homeless Labradors.  We do not receive any state or federal funding.  LFS is an all volunteer organization of people who give their time, effort, and love for labs to protect and save them from the perils of pet over-population and irresponsible pet ownership.  Our ultimate goal is to help these dogs find new, loving, forever homes.
