We still desperately need foster homes for abandoned Labs who are waiting in shelters for our help before it's too late.

Our Foster team is the very heart of our efforts to save the Labs. For those Lab lovers who are able to help as a foster home, there is no greater gift than to shelter a rescued Lab on their way to a better life.

Safe Harbor covers medical expenses and provides 24/7 support for our fosters. You supply the loving home for a few weeks and are valued members of our Foster Team. The appreciation from the Lab whose life you help save knows no bounds.

Please complete a Foster Home application or email Jacky at jeckard@gmail.com for more info about how you can help a Lab on his or her journey to a forever home. So many are waiting for us to save their lives.

Corky was picked up as a stray during the hot weather. The tops of his ears were covered with badly infected fly bites from being left outdoors. Then he came down with a nasty upper respiratory infection from his stay in the shelter.

After arriving at Safe Harbor, Corky's ear wounds were cleaned and treated, and two rounds of antibiotics resolved his respiratory illness. This little guy is "all Lab" with his forgiving nature and cheerful personality. He truly appreciates your thoughtful support to help him along the path to a new life as an adored family member.

Most of our rescued Labs need an extra measure of care before they are ready for their forever home. The cost to prepare Labs for their forever home usually exceeds our adoption fee. Some need extensive veterinary care, but many have been neglected or not well cared for. These have a variety of medical issues that make them miserable - ear and eye infections, cuts, allergies, abscessed teeth, bad colds, achy joints to name a few . . . we take care of each and every one.
