Happy Labor(ador) Day to all of you! Since today is the last day of summer for lots of kids, we’re going to squeeze in one last Lab Days of Summer. Today we shine the spotlight on two different Labs — as opposite as black and white, you might say. SNOW WHITE is an adorable senior Labrador Retriever looking for a loving home to spend her golden years in. At 9-years-old, her needs are pretty simple: a casual stroll every now and then (a girl has to catch up on the local news), some good scratches behind the ear, and a big fluffy bed. Or maybe you’re looking for a dog at the other end of the spectrum? GUNNER is a 4-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab mix with a streak of Einstein in him. This whip-smart dog not only knows basic commands and how to take treats gently, but he knows how to open doors and let himself out of a well-fenced yard. Gunner is a companion dog all the way — he just wants to hang out inside with you! He is very social and loves to be with people and with other dogs. Whether you’re looking for a snuggly couch potato or an active people-oriented dog, the Shelter has the dog for you! Lab Fact of the Day: From Salty, the guide dog who led his owner down 70 stories during the 9/11 attacks; to Lucky and Flo, who sniffed out nearly 2 million pirated DVDs in Malaysia; to Willie, who saved his 6-year-old friend from a wolf attack — working Labs don’t get Labor Day off. No matter what breed you own, make sure to let your furry best friend get in on today’s celebration. #labrescue #retrieverrescue #dogadoptions #dogrescue #dogdaysofsummer
