Petfinder.com
Here you will find more than 6,000 homeless Labs and Lab mixes across the country. Many of these dogs are in shelters and will never make it to a Lab Rescue because there just aren't enough rescue organizations across the country. To save a Lab or Lab mix, click on the above link and enter "dog" in the animal box, "Labrador" in the breed box, and either your zip code or your town and state in the location box. Then go through the pages of available Labs and Lab mixes in your area. Photos and email contact information are usually available.

SPAY/USA
A program of The Pet Savers Foundation, is a nationwide network and referral service for affordable spay/neuter services.

Davey's Page
Shortly after having life saving surgery, Davey died from a spiderbite. LABMED felt the best way to memorialize this little guy would be to provide a list of links to sources of information on what spiders, insects, common yard and garden plants, and other household products can be harmful or even fatal to pets.

Colby's Story
This page was created by LABMED in memory of Colby. Colby died from a preventable disease, heartworms, in spite of the efforts of the many people who tried to save her. Please read her story, print it out and share it with others.
