About Us

Thanks you for your interest in Rescue For Life: Labrador Retriever Rescue. I am delighted to have this opportunity to share more information with you about the program and myself.

Personally, I love Labradors and am committed to finding quality homes for all deserving Labs. My first rescue, unofficially, was "Ruger". He was 18 months old when I adopted him from his abusive owners and has absolutely thrived in the nurturing environment of my home. When I rescued Ruger he was overweight and hand shy. In the 16 months he lived with his previous owners he had never been housebroken, taught to walk on a leash, and never even learned to retrieve. Ruger's interactions with people were extremely limited; he was left unattended in a apartment for most of the day. Ruger's behavior was understandably appalling when he first come to our home, but he has become an ideal family dog. Without fail, he is exceedingly friendly towards our family, strangers and other pets. Ruger's experience has been the most rewarding of experiences and has inspired me to organize this rescue. I intend to provide other Labradors with the same opportunity for better lives. Rescue For Life: Labrador Rescue has been successfully placing Labradors in permanent homes for the past 3 yrs. It provides foster homes and arranges adoptions.

All Rescue For Life Labradors are current/up to date on all shots, tick/flea/heartworm preventative and heartworm testing, spay and neutered prior to adoption. Obedience training is started and temperament evaluations preformed by a certified trainer. Since PERMANENT placement is my goal for all rescued Labradors, I developed a screening process to make the proper placement for our Labradors. Thanks again and I am looking forward to placing a Labrador with you.

Sincerely, Denise Ward President/Founder
