All I want for Christmas is a …
Atlanta Lab Rescue works tirelessly, 24/7 – 365 to save as many dogs as we possibly can from all over the Southeast…Everything from puppies and pregnant dogs to senior dogs that have been abandoned. At Christmastime, so many people want to get a puppy (or a kitten) for a family member as a surprise Christmas Morning….Here is our PSA – DON’T DO IT!! We have been getting requests for puppies to “surprise my grandmother” on Christmas morning – seriously? A puppy is a living, breathing animal that will have a life spam of probably 15 years. This shouldn’t be a “surprise” on Christmas morning whether it is for Granny or the Grandkids or a surprise any time of the year. When this author got her puppy, now 8 years ago, she thought about it long and hard – she is neither a granny or a kid and it was challenging and it isn’t for everybody – she planned for it time wise and budget wise and was/is very successful. Our rescue will start to get tons of owner surrender requests end of January and February – the Christmas gift that keeps on giving actually needs work, love and attention! SO WHAT TO DO? Read on for the PERFECT SOLUTION – Find a very cool leash, collar and a toy and wrap them all up and put them under the tree with a note that says when the time is right for everyone and everyone is ready and on board, you will go out and adopt the right puppy or dog for your family. This is the perfect idea! Please help prevent the shelter dumping and make a good decision now! Remember….

Would like to fill out an application to adopt Kandi the 8 month old black lab mix you have recently shown on face book. I live in Northwest Louisiana on 100 acres fenced with a lake behind my house. I have been a previous lab owner and have enjoyed their close companionship.
Please visit our website and complete an application. Also, please note that we do not provide transportation. Out of State adoptions can take more time, so please be aware that our process is very fluid.
Thank you.

I have a chocolate lab for adoption who is a year and a half old. She is house broken and trained, and very gentle, calm dog. She has not been abused. Loves to catch balls and frisbees. I thought I could keep her but I have 6 rescues, two dogs and 4 cats. Brandy will make a wonderful companion for someone. Her original owner was transferred to another area and housing did not allow pets. All beds, toys, food come with her.
Hello,
Please email your request to surrender your dog to info@atlantalabrescue.com. One of our volunteers will be in touch with you.
Thank you.

Dear Joanne,
My friend died leaving his 4 yr. registered, sweet, male Lab named Hudson to be taken care of by his niece. She is barely able to take care of herself, much less this poor dog. The neighbors threaten to call animal control which would be a tragic end for this Lab. I am trying to get the dog adopted by someone who will appreciate a sweet, registered, reddish brown Lab and can take care of him.Unfortunately, we are unable to consider adopting due to my wife`s allergies. Could you please let me know if you receive my email? It will break my heart to see my late friend`s Lab carried off to Animal Control in Walton County. Thank you for your help and all you do to help these poor animals. Sincerely, Robert Ailion 109 Berkeley Rd. Avondale Estates, Ga 30002 (404) 307-3316 cell.
