Posted by Moses I would agree with you: there never will be another dog like your Skippy. But I'm sure once your heart heals a bit more from her loss, you'll want to look for a new friend to fill your dog-shaped vacuum inside your heart. Oh, by the way, Mr. Bennie says he agrees with Moses! To adopt a lab, a person fills out an application w/ SPDR and they request a $75.00 donation fee that is tax-deductible. Imagine that: buying a new best friend for 75 bucks and getting to take it off your taxes? When the lab is surrendered to SPDR, they must be neutered or spayed and often are placed in a foster home to recuperate or for the transition between the former owner or shelter and the adoptive owners. This is where we've come in. We have been a foster home. (We took a bit of a sabbatical after my back surgery and the loss of my husband's mom.) Every thing is done by volunteers like us. I'm not sure what Spokane offers in the way of Lab Rescue but your local animal shelter may have some more info. Hope I've answered most of your questions.

Hi Friend 
We belong to a non-profit lab club called Puget Sound Labrador Retriever Association (PSLRA). We've been members since 1996. The club promotes agility, conformation, field trials and hunt tests, etc. and labrador retriever rescue. Our club rescues about 300 purebred labs a year from the tri-county area (King, Pierce & Snohomish counties.) We partner w/ the local shelters and SPDR (Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue.)
SPDR works very hard to partner the right adopted lab with the right family. One almost never gets a puppy but often a young dog is available. Maybe 9-24 mos. and up. When they get big enough for the uninformed owner to realize they no longer have a cuddly little puppy but an active bird dog on their hands!
