Save
A Lab is a non-profit, home-based animal shelter, started
March 4, 2001, dedicated to ensuring that domestic pets have
safe, loving, permanent homes. We are a no-kill shelter, specializing
in Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers, but no animal
is turned away based on breed. The shelter is operated by
two working professionals out of their home in Indianapolis,
Indiana. Animals are rescued and trained in their spare time
with the hopes of placing them in good permanent homes. Fostering
provides an opportunity for the shelter to assess a dogs personality
and temperment, which are then disclosed to potential adopters
to the best of the shelter's ability.
Save
A Lab can assist current owners in finding new homes for their
pets via various search channels. When necessary, we will
accept surrendered pets, and those animals will remain in
the care of Save A Lab as long as is necessary to find them
new homes. Save A Lab also rescues stray or abandoned animals.
Save
A Lab screens adoption applicants, via written application,
interview, and vet/personal reference checks. We reserve the
right to decline any application for any reason. Our first
commitment is to finding the ideal, permanent home for each
pet. Adoption fees and donations are non-refundable.
Animals
will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated before leaving Save
A Lab for placement in a new home, whenever those procedures
have not yet been performed. When adopting a pet that is too
young to be altered, the new owner is required to have the
procedure performed as soon as the pet is of age. Save A Lab
reserves the right to take custody of an adopted pet from
the adopter if the pet is not spayed/neutered when appropriate,
and or not provided with appropriate general care.
Save
A Lab will disclose, to the adopter, all known information
regarding the animal’s history, health, and behavior.
While we seek out dogs who are in good health and get them
necessary vet care prior to adoption, we can not guarantee
them to be free of congential diseases (Labradors are susceptible
to hip dysplasia as well as other joint problems). As an adopter,
you agree to release Save A Lab from any responsibility for
the health of, or damage/injury caused by, the adopted pet.
Animal behavior and health is inherently unpredictable, and
ownership of any companion animal requires accepting the uncertainty
of both.
Thank
you for your interest in Save A Lab. We appreciate any donations
of funds, pet foods, and pet supplies. If
you wish to know more about any of the dogs available for
adoption, or should you wish to make a contribution to this
operation, please email info@savealab.com.
