TLC is committed to helping senior and special needs labs. We need your help! Please click on the donate link to see how you can help us save the seniors and special needs labs. Everyone else gave up on them but we will not.
In order to better help the Labs through issues with behavior (seperation anixiety and etc.), physical ailments (heartworms, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, medical testing), and anything else that they may need during their stay in our foster program we always accept donations.

Other ways you can help: At this time we are looking for volunteers to foster. By fostering you help provide a temporary home to a dog in danger, or one who needs special care. A foster home helps them learn new skills and get ready for their adoptive home. Some of the things that foster homes may help foster dogs with:
*Love and care, many times fosters have not had these before they arrive in our homes.*play, again something many have not had.*petting ond affection *potty training*basic training*leash skills*health issues*behavioral issuesThe number of foster homes we have open at any time directly impacts the number of dogs that we can help save. In one week alone we can turn away more than 10 requests for us to help dogs, because we are full. While fostering is not always easy, it is almost always rewarding as you see the dog's behavior change and their comfort increase in your home, learn new skills, and finally get to the adoptive home.
Please contact TLC or submit a volunteer application if you think becoming a foster home is something that interests you. We are excited an willing to discuss our program with you.
Buster and Brutus are 7 year old litter mates. They joined the TLC foster program on the 4th of July weekend.After spending the weekend getting used to their new foster home we took them to the vet.
During treatment and testing the vet and TLC discovered that these two wonderful boys were heartworm positive; they were also infested with fleas. Since their vet visit they have received the flea treatment, gotten a bath and nail trim. Every day they come a little further out of their shell, and their foster Mom says that they give the best kisses.
The cost of heartworm treatment is very high; it will cost TLC $1000 to provide treatment to both dogs. We are going to be participating in various events. If you are interested in helping these two boys out, please check out our events page, or see the donation information below.
