    Hello - we are true believers that Labrador Retrievers are the best dogs in the world and have had Labs for over 10 years. We lost our beloved Buddy, a yellow Lab, right after Christmas and to fill that empty hole in our hearts have been helping a local Lab Rescue by being foster parents. We've helped place 3 dogs in 6 months and are hoping to find one for ourselves soon. We live near St. Louis; on the Illinois side.

    Welcome @Maxedwell from me, Hattie 10 years and our rescue boy Charlie 7 years. I'm very sorry to hear you lost your beloved Buddy:( I'm sure helping to foster Labradors from the Labrador Rescue is helping you during such a sad time and what a wonderful thing to do. Are you hoping to adopt? Helen x

    Hi and welcome from Maxx and I in Sydney, Australia. So sorry to hear about your Buddy, it is so heartbreaking when they leave us.

    What a wonderful thing you are doing with the rescue dogs and I hope you find your own bundle of furry joy soon

    Hi, welcome Cassie, aged 2 and a bit, and myself on the English/Welsh borders in the UK. She is not my first dog, but is my first Labrador, therefore very special :inlove:

    Sounds great, what you are doing in the rescue centre. Good luck in the search for a new puppy.

    Thanks for the warm welcome here to all!
    Yes, we are looking to adopt another Lab; prefer yellows as that is all we've had or fostered. Probably won't be until summer is over since we travel extensively. Peace!
