Description:
Peek-A-Boo is a sweet little lab puppy that found himself in a high kill shelter in Georgia. This is a place that kills the animals by gassing them, an extremely painful way to die. Fortunately, Peek-A-Boo was pulled from the shelter and transported to us aby a group of independent volunteers who save these pets and bring them to rescues all over the south.
The photo of Peek-A-Boo in the cement room was taken at the Georgia kill shelter. The others were taken right after we gave him a bath. Do you see that face? Aren't you glad he was saved! He will be neutered on July 14th and then ready for his forever home.

*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
