February 2011 Archives

It's that time of year again! 3 days of all-out spreading the word of Lab rescue! Thousands of sportsmen and dog lovers will stop by our booth the weekend of Feb 18-20 to meet our adorable, adoptable Labs & learn about rescue.

We are looking for folks willing to help set up the booth on Thursday, Feb. 17, man the booth for a shift or two during the weekend, or walk a dog and meet & greet with the public.

If this sounds like your idea of a good time for a Grrrrrreat cause, please drop us a line with your preferred day and time (see below). We will once again be located in the Conservation tent in Marion Square, downtown Charleston, SC.

Happy, yappy 2011 from Wild Heir! Although 2010 was a "ruff" one for many of us, we are thrilled to report that we had 98 Wild Heir adoptions last year - from puppies to seniors - including Callie, Sadie and Roman, who had all been waiting on a family for 2+ years! We "High 5" all of our generous supporters and volunteers that helped us save Labby lives. We simply could not do it without you!

February is a busy one for us with Valentine's Day coming up, and the Southeastern Wildlife Expo just around the corner, not to mention puppy season has started early and the shelters are overflowing with Labs in need of rescue.

To start things off, everyone's favorite doggie daycare, Camp Bow Wow, is hosting Cupids & Canines Doggie Adopt-A-Thon. Join us on Sunday, Feb. 13 from 11:30 - 3:30 pm for some tail waggin' fun with raffle prizes, games and treats for people and pooches! Camp Bow Wow, located at 1745 Clements Ferry Road between Mount Pleasant and Charleston, is a staunch supporter of rescue and has helped us place many Wild Heir Labs into wonderful, fur-ever homes.

The Southeastern Wildlife Expo will be in full swing daily Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 18th-20th. Come on out and support rescue, get your Lab fix, volunteer to walk a dog, watch the Dock Dogs diving contests or just enjoy all the artful offerings of SEWE. We hope to see YOU at SEWE!

2011 Adoptions
Abby, Dooby, Beck, Lucy, Duke, Hank, Barkley, Molly, Evie, Senior Buddy, Princess, Crystal, Charlie, Senior Sadie, Brandon, Maggie

Foster homes needed
It's raining Labs! In order to help our Labradorable friends, we need foster homes. Any amount of time is a lifesaver for many of these wonderful dogs. We provide vetting and monthly flea and heartworm prevention and YOU provide the love!

If you can help out one of our furry friends, please call (843) 340-6765 or fill out our online application to foster or adopt.
