Labrador Retriever Puppies For Adoption

Article Title: Labrador Retriever Puppies For Adoption
Author: Anna Hart

Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption are often purebred, and
every bit as wonderful, loving, and energetic as a puppy you
would buy. Why go to a pet store or breeder when you can find
Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption? Often free!

Places such as "Labrador Retriever Rescue and Adoption" have
pure and mixed-breed Labrador Retriever puppies. When we went
looking online briefly, we found Labrador Retriever puppies for
adoption that were 9 weeks old and 12 weeks old.

In a "Yahoo Pets" classified ad, we saw 10 beautiful little
Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption in Colorado. The Hoobly
classified website had 3 Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption
in Idaho.

Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption are also available at
Humane Society and independent animal shelters.

Who Would Adopt Labrador Retriever Puppies

You might adopt Labrador Retriever puppies if:

1. your budget does not allow an investment of $400 to $1500
for a puppy
2. you have compassion on unwanted puppies

Many people have big, caring hearts. They know the Labrador
Retriever puppies at the breeder, with their fancy papers, will
find homes. Life is not as certain for rescue puppies. They have
been given up for adoption because the owners would not or could
not care for more dogs.

Disadvantages of Labrador Retriever Puppies for Adoption

Labrador Retriever puppies that have been given up for adoption
may have hidden problems. You will not know about the
temperament of the parents. Nor will you know whether either
parent has health problems that will be inherited by the
puppies. If you find Labrador Retriever puppies in an animal
shelter, chances are good that the staff knows little about
them.

Labrador Retriever puppies in a shelter often lack bonding
opportunities. People come and people go, but no one has time to
teach the puppy how to get along with human companions.

You risk getting a puppy that has learned to bark loudly for
attention – in a room of loudly barking dogs. Labrador Retriever
puppies from shelters will take more than a few days of
adjustment to un-learn some bad habits.

Some of these disadvantages are overcome if you get Labrador
Retriever puppies through a rescue network. Most networks place
their adoptive puppies in foster homes. This avoids many of the
animal shelter problems.

Some rescue networks are also able to find out more about the
puppies' background. The foster "parents" can evaluate the
puppies' temperaments and health. They can begin basic training
and socialize the puppies. They can make sure the puppies get a
good start in life while they wait for their permanent homes.

Advantages of Labrador Retriever Puppies for Adoption

The advantages of getting Labrador Retriever puppies that are
available for adoption may outweigh the disadvantages for you –
especially if you can get the puppies through a rescue network.

1. You are giving a good home to Labrador Retriever puppies
that might otherwise not have one.

2. You are gaining loving, faithful companions, who will do
anything to please you, as long as you teach them what that is.

3. You are paying only a small adoption fee (or getting them
free). Yet your Labrador Retriever puppies will be every bit as
loving as those costing hundreds of dollars.

Helpful Tip

You can find Labrador Retriever puppies for adoption on the
Internet. Simply type the phrase "Labrador Retriever rescue"
into your search engine. Locally, watch newspaper classified ads
or visit your animal shelter.
