Why are So Many Labradors Up for Rescue or Adoption?
For
anyone who loves the Labrador it is hard to believe that the black Labrador in
particular is one of the most common dogs to come into shelters and the hardest
to place. The reason for this is that many people associate large black dogs with
aggression. Lovers of Labradors know this to simply be a myth except in rare circumstances.
Lack
of Training
Sadly the biggest reason for an owner to give up a Labrador
is due to their energy or poor behavior from lack of training. More often than
not bad behavior in a Labrador is caused by lack of attention and training by
the owner and when they discover they can’t control the Labrador they either turn
it loose or take it to the local shelter to be adopted. Labrador adoption is difficult
because the dog’s energy level can be more than many are bargaining for or they
want a puppy instead of an adult dog.
Abuse
The other side of this
story are abused Labradors and it seems this number is growing daily. At one time
it was easy to find a home for a Labrador waiting for adoption but today there
are so many that it is becoming harder to find them good homes. Some will buy
a Labrador puppy solely for the purpose of hunting and the Labrador often ends
up in a cage everyday of his life until somebody steps in and does something about
it. For this reason there are more and more Labrador rescue centers popping up
every single day.
Often the Labrador rescue centers have to get medical
treatment for the most abused, injure or neglected Labrador as well as teach them
to trust human beings instead of fearing them. Labrador rescue centers are always
looking for foster homes and adoptive homes for these beautiful but lonely Labradors.
If you are considering bringing a Labrador into your family, consider adopting
one from your local Labrador rescue center or becoming a foster home for one or
two and giving them a start on a better life than they have known in the past.
Labradors
are big dogs, they are energetic dogs they are also lovable and loyal and most
adore children when treated well by them. You won’t find a more appreciated dog
than those that come from Labrador rescue when they are given love, care and affection.
Why not stop by your local Labrador rescue center and visit some of these dogs
that are waiting for a loving home and family. However, learn as much as you can
about them in order to not make any of the top
