Please read thoroughly before applying
All About Labs (AAL) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to rescuing and rehabilitating homeless Labrador Retrievers and Labrador mixes into loving, responsible homes. All About Labs is not a shelter; we provide short-term care for our rescues, giving them the best care we can until they are placed into foster care or permanent homes.
Please note:
· Once your application and application fee are received, you will be contacted via e-mail by one of our volunteers. Your application cannot be reviewed until your fee has been processed. Fee amounts and payment instructions are found at the end of this document.
· The dog you apply for may be located in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Arkansas or Tennessee, depending on where there is foster availability.
· All About Labs arranges transportation of each dog as soon as possible after adoption has been approved. We have an established relationship with Peterson Express Transport Service (P.E.T.S.). Go to www.petsllc.net for more information.
· All About Labs has been very successful with our “matchmaking” process between families and dogs. Please visit www.allaboutlabs.org to see our beautiful rescues available for adoption, and to learn more about the details of the adoption process.
Each of our dogs is evaluated carefully before placement. Every effort is made to match the dog by age, temperament and energy level to the family most capable to care for and enjoy him or her.
All About Labs asks that you be serious about adopting before applying. Our adoption process involves time, and we must coordinate efforts among many volunteers to make each adoption possible.
We welcome any and all questions regarding our dogs. We attempt to provide as much information as possible so that you can make an informed decision.
Please do not fill out an application until you are serious,
as the process involves time, money and volunteer resources.
