2008 Donation Drive
Give 1000 More Second Chances

LABMED is thrilled to announce the funding of our 1000th dog! And lucky
number 1000 is . . . Rylee (Success Story Coming Soon!), a handsome one-year-old male chocolate Lab found as a stray in Ohio suffering from heartworm disease. LABMED provided the funding for his treatment and now he is on the road to recovery. We will be featuring Rylee's success story on our website soon with special recognition for being our 1000th funding recipient. Please visit our 2008 Donation Drive webpage to learn more or pledge a donation.

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:

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.

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'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.

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.
