Surrender Your Lab

We never want to see a Lab in need of a new home. We hope to someday live in a world where there is never a Lab without a Forever Home that is truly forever. We do realize, however, that such a dream world is not our world of today.

Before you make the final decision to rehome your Lab, we urge you to take few moments to read this page, Can We Help You Keep Your Pet?. It contains an enormous amount of very valuable information about things you can try in order to keep your Lab in your home.

If you still feel that keeping your Lab is completely impossible, we can help find a new home for your Lab. Owner surrenders that come into our program are adopted through the same Adoption Process as our shelter rescues.

Things to Note

1. You will be asked to foster your Lab.

We make every attempt to move your dog into one of our foster homes as quickly as possible. The simple fact, however, is that we very rarely have a foster home free due to the overwhelming number of Labs in need. You will, therefore, be asked to foster your own dog for LOLIN. Once your dog is admitted into our program, it will be listed with all of our other available Labs.

2. You will be asked to help transport your Lab.

When it comes time to transport your Lab to either a foster or adoptive home, you will be asked to help with that transport. This may be a drive of a few miles or more than an hour, there's no way to know. If a drive of more than 1.5 hours is required, we make every effort to have the parties involved meet halfway.

3. Your Lab must be fully vetted.

All Labs who enter our program must be fully vetted. You will be required to provide proof of up-to-date vaccinations as well as altering. If your Lab is not current on his/her vaccinations and/or is not yet altered, we can provide you with the names and numbers of low cost clinics where you can do so at your expense.

4. We cannot take in Labs that have shown any aggression.

As part of the owner surrender process, you will be required to attest that your Lab has not shown aggression. If you state that you have no knowledge of aggression and we later find otherwise, we will consider this fraudulent and reserve the right to pursue legal recourse. In addition, we do not have the resources to rehabilitate aggressive dogs; unfortunately, aggressive dogs in our program must be humanely euthanized for the safety of everyone.

5. You will be required to provide current pictures of your Lab.

In order to attract adoptive families, we will require current photographs of your Lab. These need to be provided in an electronic format suitable for online usage. Please know that a picture is worth a thousand words, and poor pictures will only slow our ability to help find your Lab a new home.

6. You will be required to submit a $40 Surrender Donation.

In order to help offset the costs involved in rehoming your Lab, we require a $40 Surrender Donation prior to processing your Surrender Application. Once you submit your application electronically, you will be presented with the option of either sending the donation via PayPal or via a check to our mailing address. If you choose to mail your application using our PDF link, please be sure to enclose a check with the application. Once we have received your Surrender Donation, we will begin to process your application as expediently as possible.

Please note that this donation is only refundable should we chose to decline to accept your Lab into our program. If we accept your Lab into our program, the donation immediately becomes non-refundable.

Surrender Form

By submitting an Surrender Form, you are attesting that you have read and understand all of the above information; if you simply skimmed to find the application, please take a moment to truly read this information.

We encourage you to utilize our Online Owner Surrender Form at this point in the process. Applications submitted online are able to be processed by our Owner Surrender Coordinator much more quickly than those submitted manually.
