CALGARY PUREBRED LABRADOR
RETRIEVER RESCUE is a non-profit adoption referral organization dedicated to
placing Labrador Retrievers into new, carefully screened homes.
Owners wishing to place
their dog through CPLRR should first call Cindy Chauncey at 934-4965,
complete a listing form and return to CPLRR’s Mailing
Address with a $10.00 non-refundable listing fee for each dog listed. PLEASE
NOTE THAT IF YOUR DOG WAS PURCHASED FROM A BREEDER, THEY MUST BE CONTACTED FIRST.
MOST BREEDERS MAY HAVE A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON YOUR DOG AND/OR MAY BE ABLE TO
HELP WITH REHOMING TOO.
People who apply to adopt
a dog through CPLRR must fill out an extensive
Adoption Application form, explaining why they want a Labrador
Retriever, how they plan to care for the dog and what kind of home they will
provide. When an application is received, it is either approved or declined.
Applicants for dogs may be declined if they cannot provide a suitable home
for the dog they are applying for. Owners listing their dogs are under no
obligation to accept any applicant referred by CPLRR. If you feel an
applicant is not right for your dog, simply notify CPLRR. We will continue
to refer applicants that might be suitable until the right match is found.
Although we carefully
screen adopters, we cannot guarantee that every referral will be perfect.
For this reason, we suggest you also screen the applicant before turning
over your dog. People who give away dogs are urged to be selective about
prospective owners.
CPLRR will do our best to
place your dog into a new home. However, CPLRR can in no way guarantee a
successful placement. Your dog’s age, temperament or medical condition might
make placement difficult, or we may not have any suitable applications on
file. CPLRR is not the same kind of instant "solution" as dropping your dog
off at the shelter. Owners should expect to spend some time working with
CPLRR to find the best, loving and permanent home for your dog.
We warn owners that dogs
taken to animal shelters are held for a limited time. Often 24-72 hours. The
shelters do not have the space to keep the large number of dogs surrendered
by their owners and turned in as strays. The fact that your dog is a healthy
purebred will not intercede in its fate at the shelters. CPLRR attempts to
offer an alternative to the hopeless situation dogs face in animal shelters.
CPLRR charges a
non-refundable $10.00 listing fee to help cover our operating costs.
However, if we are successful in helping you place your dog, we would very
much appreciate a further donation. CPLRR is non-profit and depends on such
donations to continue operating. We are an all
volunteer organization and receive no compensation for the time spent
helping to place your dog.
DOG LISTING AGREEMENT
Please fill out this form

successful in placing your dog, we would appreciate an additional donation
to our organization.
