Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Junior's hip surgery fund. We have raised more than $600 towards the first hip! Surgery will be scheduled as soon as we get at bit closer to our goal of $1,000, so remember every $5 or $10 helps get him closer to a normal pain free life of running and playing.
For those unfamiliar with Junior and his hip problem, please go to our website's front page and read about this sweet little guy with the heart of gold.

We are asking you to help us reach our goal of 1500 bones @ $10!

Please throw us a bone - a $10 donation - so we can continue our labor of love on behalf of unwanted Labrador Retrievers (and Lab mixes) throughout South Carolina!

In 2008 we were successful in rescuing close to 175 abandoned, neglected and abused Labradors and placing them in loving responsible homes.

Unfortunately, many of these precious animals come to us with health issues and need medical treatment before they can go to their forever homes. Even the 'healthy' dogs require a full range of vaccinations along with flea and heartworm treatments. The number of dogs in rescue that require treatment for heartworms - a very preventable disease - is staggering; nearly 30% of our rescues come to us with heartworms. This costly treatment requires several months of recuperation.

Additionally, some of our more critically ill and injured dogs have required extended vet visits and even trips to the emergency room. As anyone who has ever visited the ER knows, this is not inexpensive and there is no payment plan - it's cash up front!

We have also been short on foster homes and have had to board some of our rescue dogs until we can secure their forever homes. Although we do all that we can to avoid this, it is sometimes necessary and much better than the alternative - euthanasia at a shelter. So would you please throw us a bone?

Thank you from all the Wild Heir Labbys!!!
