We had 5, count 'em 5, lucky Labbies go home with their pre-approved adopters and Fraser, an honorary Labrador and Wild Heir alumni, took 3rd place in the "Best Rescue" category of the dog show! Also, Junior, one of our young adoptables needing hip surgery, was the featured pup for Puppy Crack pet treats.
Thanks again for your continued support. We could not do it without you!
]]>This annual event features a rabies clinic from 9 am - 11 am, pet photos, local rescue groups, pet-related businesses & sponsors, AND (drum roll, please) at 10 am the main event begins... a fantastic, fun-filled Dog Show!
Be sure and stop by our booth for cute doggy decals, magnets, groovy tshirts, dogdannas, scrunchy collar covers and more! Meet our adoptable, adorable Labs and friendly volunteers.
We will be set up beside our friends at Lowcountry Golden Retriever Rescue inside the Rec Center near the show ring and outside near the front doors (weather permitting.) Pick your favorite flavor of retriever while supporting local rescue efforts!
Joey, an adoptable Wild Heir Lab/ Dalmation mix says, "This is a really convenient and inexpensive way to get your BFF (Best Furry Friend) his rabies vaccination. The clinic runs from 9 am to 11 am, and will be located at one of my favorite hang outs, the Bark Park behind the Rec Center on 29th Ave.''
"Oh, I almost forgot! IOP city dog licenses are available with proof of rabies vaccination."
]]>He is still skittish to some degree but has made progress. He is very jealous of my other dog. If I try to give Rebel some attention, Gunner will come over there and start nipping on me. He sleeps in the bed with me as well as Rebel. Thank goodness I have a king size bed.
The Golden in the photos are his best friend, "Lily". They visit the nursing home together every week and play together whenever they get the chance!
We just love our Skutter! He brings quite a few laughs into the house on a DAILY basis!
Thanks for rescuing him for us!!!
Well, Sullivan seems to be settling in just fine here at the beach so far. No marking in the house to speak of now that we know his body language to go out and he loves his bed and Stephen too. We have not used a crate at all, does not even attempt to get on the furniture, has not chewed anything but loves to play with his rawhides and squeeker toys. Our backyard is surrounded by 5 homes (a corner lot) and every home has at least one dog so he has plenty of canine company. We'll probably be taking him for a walk on the beach this weekend so we'll let you know how that goes.

The Brunswick, GA animal shelter was told that an old man in a shed out in the woods had been feeding a Weimaraner for 6 months but he was leaving. Weimaraner Rescue out of Charleston was contacted, pulled together a transport team and picked her up on Jan 20. Oops - she is a yellow lab with a docked tail, most likely due to an accident. Maybe a little German Shorthaired Pointer in there, too, for good measure.
Wild Heir was asked to help place this adorable, friendly girl since no one comes to Weimaraner rescue looking for a Lab! Honey is up to date on vaccinations, gets along with other dogs and is a more laid back kind of gal.

These two gorgeous Labs were dropped off by their owner to Greenville Animal Care Services in Greenville, SC last week because they barked too much. I guess that really means that they were left outside alone too much! The boy is 2 years old and the little girl is 1 year old. They are scared and nervous at the shelter but very sweet, according to shelter staff. They will be arriving in the Charleston area this week via volunteer transport. Both of these beautiful dogs are altered, dewormed and up to date with vaccinations and a rabies shot.
Wild Heir will provide crates, training advice, necessary vet care and monthly heartworm prevention. Can you open your home and your heart to one of these loving pups and help prepare them for a future forever home?

]]>Left tied to the front door of an Augusta vet clinic, these two 8-10 year old boys need either one or separate foster homes by this weekend. They are happy, mellow guys who get along with dogs, cats and adore people. They are house trained, neutered, healthy and up to date on vaccinations. They will be arriving on Saturday, Jan. 30. A senior Lab is truly a treasure, usually an easy keeper and a dog that quickly becomes a devoted companion. Wild Heir Lab Rescue has always had an extra special soft spot for the "wise ones" with the gray muzzles!

Here's a video from Charlie's new family showing all the things he's learned in just a few weeks.
I adopted Charlie from a lab rescue about a month ago. Then, he did not know many of these commands. Now he knows all these. He is very quick to learn and responds to commands quickly. Unfortunately, I was recording him at the end of lesson time, so he is a little unresponsive and I have to repeat some commands, but that is just because he is getting tired.]]>
Following the dog show on Saturday Jan 30 at 6PM, CSCLRC will be hosting a seafood dinner ($10/person). There will be a "Whine" tasting along with dinner, with proceeds from the tasting going to WHLR.
CSCLRC's Supported Entry is held in conjunction with the Charleston Kennel Club's dog show at the Exchange Park Fairgrounds in Ladson, SC.

If you'd like to volunteer and help out with dogs, manning the WHLR booth or just spreading the word about our dogs, we'll definitely put you to work!
