Johannesburg Sharon Stocks Stadler Home: 011 234 9991 Mobile: 076 485 3654 sharonstocks@mweb.co.za OR Cape Town Ricki Goodman Mobile: 082 740 7202 rz@adept.co.za It is Rescue and Re-homing policy that all dogs are neutered or spayed before they are homed. We will also vaccinate each dog should this be necessary. We are also able to offer the services of an animal behaviourist should you need help with the rehoming of a dog. We are able, through very kind sponsorships, to relocate dogs to all parts of the country. Although we do not charge for this re-homing service, any donations will be welcomed as it enables us to continue with our efforts in re-homing Labradors. If you are unable to assist with re-homing but would like to make a donation to Rescue and Rehoming, our bank details are: LRKC FNB Rosebank 25-33-05 Acc No: 50370038934 Please use LAB RESCUE as your reference Please consider homing a middle aged dog Bear in mind that Labrador Retrievers have a life span of 12-14 years. An 8 or 9 year old Labrador is not an ancient dog. It would still have a good 4 5 years, if exercised and fed correctly. Also, an older dog has done its gardening days, has stopped chewing hopefully -, has matured, is not as boisterous as a puppy and is possibly a better choice for very young children as it has patience and will not knock littlies flying or nip while playing. Most dogs this age have had some sort of training so are also a lot more controllable. Thank you for considering homing a Labrador
