Labrador Rescue South East & Central
Labrador breed rescue was originally a group of county based volunteers but in 1996 a meeting was convened to create a group of geographical charities including South, East and Central (LRSE&C) which continues to rehome Labradors by carefully matching potential homes with every individual dog. Each potential home is checked just as every dog is assessed, some prospective owners may feel we are too thorough but a cautious approach ensures the greatest chance of successfully matching each dog with their all important, forever home. Dogs come to the charity for many reasons but increasingly as a result of expensive health problems and the charity maintains a welfare fund for assisting with the ongoing veterinary costs of adopted dogs. We support diabetics, arthritics and atopics and have recently enabled Theo to have his broken leg plated and Daisy to visit a specialist eye surgeon to have her in-growing eyelashes corrected.
To do this we need to raise funds and the charity is fortunate to have volunteers prepared to attend events in all weathers to supplement the donations received. Each year we hold a Dogsparty full of fun and games and attended by hundreds of happy, healthy and much loved Labradors. We rehome around 300 dogs a year, and give support to many more.
