About Us

Labrador Rescue was founded in June 1995 by the Co-ordinator, Glenys Fryer. It was set up to try and help Labradors that had had the misfortune to become unwanted and homeless through no fault of their own.

During the early years of Labrador Rescue, dogs were housed at a boarding kennels which involved a 44 mile round journey, often up to 5 times in some weeks which proved costly and time consuming. In 2003 the rescue moved to Malt Kiln Farm and 6 dedicated kennels were provided so that the dogs could be housed and cared for to a high standard and assessed whilst a suitable home is found.

Due to the large volume of dogs needing our help, the number of kennels has been increased to 7 thanks to the generous donations from friends and supporters of the rescue.

The dogs come to us for many reasons, owners ill health, change of circumstances, divorce and bereavement. With the current financial climate the number of families needing to seek a new home for their much loved Labrador is only likely to increase.

We always offer full backup and support to new adopters and we always accept the dog back should the need arise during the dogs life.
