It takes a cold and cruel person to abandon or abuse a Labrador dog and if you know of a situation where a Labrador dog is being abused or has been abandoned then you should do the right thing and contact a Labrador rescue group right away. There are resources all around you that can help you find a rescue group and it is the right thing to do rather than let the poor dog suffer.
One of the best resources for any humane group contact information is your vet. Your vet is very concerned about the health and well being of all animals and does not want to see any dog suffer any more than you do so they would gladly give you any contact information they may have. If you do not use a vet then just contact one from the phone book and they would be glad to help.
People always miscalculate and forget the value of their local newspaper when it comes to finding important community contact information. Chances are that your local newspaper either publishes the contact information for a Labrador rescue group at least once a week or has the information available for people that may want it. Give your local newspaper a call and ask if the can give you contact information for any Labrador rescue groups.
You can also search the Internet for local Labrador rescue groups and also for the websites of national groups. You may be able to find local contact information for rescue groups but even if you only find national group websites you are still getting somewhere.
Never forget that the Internet is a great way for people all over the world to get the information they need. With an Internet search you may find contact information for local animal rescue groups or you may find the websites of national animal rescue groups. Check the national groups to see if they list any satellite offices near you and if they do not then give them a call and see what advice or assistance they can offer you.
It is unusual that a reputable breeder will turn down a chance to help an abused Labrador so in your search for a Labrador rescue group consider any of the local breeders in your area.
People that abandon or abuse animals are less than human and those pets should be rescued to give them a second chance at good life with a loving family. If you see a situation where a pet is being abused or has been abandoned then at least take the time to make a phone call and try and get some help for that poor defenseless animal.
Every animal deserves the chance to be happy and no pet deserves the horror of being abused or abandoned so if you see a situation that requires immediate attention then track down contact information for a local animal rescue group and give a pet a second chance.
