Rescue for Life Donates Companion Dog to Center for Discovery.

April 2006
Rescue For Life: Labrador Retriever Rescue a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, based in Orange County, NY, places Labrador Retrievers in permanent, loving homes when their present owners can no longer keep them.

In March 2006, Brandy a female chocolate Labrador, surrendered to the rescue found a permanent home with five residents at The Center for Discovery's Stonewall Preserve located in Hurleyville, New York. Stonewall Preserve is the Centers new livestock and crop production farm that provides a meaningful work environment for adults with autism.
The Center for Discovery contacted Rescue for Life looking for a solid loving lab to adopt as a companionship for the five residents. Since Brandy’s former owners were no longer able to care for her, the timing of her surrender in to the rescue was perfect for what the center was looking for. Brandy spent a trial weekend at Stonewall Preserve and bond with the five residents and staff members. They took immediately to Brandy as she did them, turning the rescue effort into a perfect union.
The residents and staff are all very pleased and happy with Brandy and very thankful for their new companion given to them by Rescue for Life. The rescue also donated food and toys to the center to get Brandy off to the right start in her new forever home. Now, Brandy is receiving the love and the companionship she deserves as well as providing a lifetime of joy to everyone at Stonewall Preserve.
In response to a successful Labrador rescue, Rescue for Life is looking to expand its program to include companion and service dogs.

Adoption Day

Next Adoption Day - TBD

Rescue For Life: Labrador Retriever Rescue is proud and happy to be able to hold Adoption Days and Meet & Greet events at Gander Mtn. in Middletown, NY. Last Fall was our first official Adoption Weekend and we just had another successful Adoption Day on March 26, 2005. We had raffles, dog biscuits and of course Labs! At our upcoming Meet & Greet we will have an Obedience Training demonstration as well as a First Aid demo. Approved adoptees* had the opportunity to meet some of the dogs we had available and complete their adoptions. New families interested in adopting had the opportunity to fill out our adoption application and be put on our list for current and future Labs in our rescue. It was a wonderful weekend and we are looking forward to our next Adoption Day.
*These adoptees have been approved by the Board of Directors and have had references checked.
