Here is a story to gladded your hearts. It certainly gladdened mine.
A pupil at my school had a cross-bred Labrador dog called Beethoven. Sadly, there were also other dogs in the home and they were a bit noisy. The neighbours complained and the dog warden was sent round to take them away. My pupil was devastated. She really loved her dog. She needed to know that he wouldn't be put to sleep - because that was, sadly, the inevitable consequence. For two weeks I tried to find him a new home but to no avail. On the day before he was due to be taken away, my friend rang me.
"Have you tried Labrador Rescue? They may take him."
By this time I was running out of hope. I rang Lab Rescue that night and spoke to a lovely lady called Kathryn. She told me she would ring me back that evening - which she did. She confirmed that they would take him. He got a place at their kennels near Chorley. The only problem was getting him there.
But on the Friday as we were about to break up, one of my staff took her, the dog and her mum up to the place and left him there. Clearly there were tears and great sadness.
But, I cannot sing the praises of this organisation highly enough. They really did everything they could to help and they seem to do a splendid job rehoming all dogs that come into their care. That was evident from the report I got from the member of staff who took them there and from what I have seen of their efforts on their website.
By Friday afternoon he was on their website on the rehoming section with all his details. By Monday he had been reserved!
By Wednesday he was in his new home with a lovely family who had already had another rescue dog. If you follow this link you will see him in his new home!

I just hope this link works!
It restores my faith in humans, it really does!
