Founded in 1996, LABMED is an Internet-based non-profit organization created to distribute financial aid to injured or ill rescues around the country, giving them a second chance at adoption and love from a permanent family.

Memorial Funds

Due to the generosity of several special Lab-lovers, LABMED is thrilled to offer these memorial funds. We invite you to read more about these special donors and dogs memorialized by these funds by clicking on the links below:

Buddy Arnold

The Buddy Arnold Memorial Fund was established through a very special gift from Jack and Anne Arnold in memory of their beloved chocolate Lab, Buddy to provide funding for the medical care of the first Lab or Lab-mix each month.

Pecos

The Pecos Memorial Fund was established through the generosity of  Georgia Lab Rescue to provide funds for Labs and Lab-mixes who are in need of medical treatment due to abuse or neglect. Pecos, a yellow Lab, did not survive his injuries, but his memory will live on as other dogs are helped through this fund.

Max

Max's Fund was established by several individuals who were profoundly touched in a lasting way by a wonderful Labrador Retriever named Max. Each month, this fund will help a Lab or Lab-mix and memorialize Max's infinite capacity for unconditional love.

Pawprint

If you wish to honor or memorialize a special dog or person you can establish a fund through the Fund A Lab program. We invite you to meet all the dogs and individuals honored through this unique program so far.
