DLRR's 4th Annual 2012 Donations Drive is officially underway!
Since our inception in 2000, DLRR has saved 2,585 Labs in need! In 2011, DLRR rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed 224 Labs into loving new families. Because Arizona's animal shelters are severely overcrowded, DLRR is often the last chance a Lab may have. Any treatable illness or injury and of course, space issues, force kill shelters to put even friendly Labs on the euthanasia list.
The majority of our Labs are from Arizona county pounds and shelters. We also take owner turn-ins when we can and there is no shortage of Labs that need our help due to the economic hardships that many of their owners continue to face.
During our 2011 Donations Drive, we had an ambitious goal of $50,000 and with your help, we were able to raise over $55,000 which is amazing and we truly appreciate your help exceeding our goal! In 2012, we hope that you will be able to help us meet or exceed our $50,000 goal again.
Last year, DLRR's veterinary costs exceeded $165,000. We expect to at least meet or exceed that figure in 2012 as we have already spent over $25,000 in medical expenses for just January and February!

DLRR is in desperate need of fosters! Every dog that we take in needs a foster home to give it loving care while it is waiting to go to its new forever home. Foster homes are the cornerstone of our organization. All you need to be a foster home is an appropriate place to keep a dog, time to spend with your foster dog, and a heart big enough to love a dog that is in the midst of a big transition.
