In Memorium Lynette Fisher - Please Donate....
2021-05-21 08:00 - 2021-12-31 17:00
On July 25th of this year American Lab Rescue family suddenly lost one of our own-Loyal dog rescuer Lynette Fisher from Lake Charles, LA passed away. Many of you probably have dogs who came from Lynette – she has been with us from the beginning in 2005 and was very committed to all dogs but she especially liked helping the dogs left behind that no one else wanted. She lived alone and left behind 20+ rescue dogs in her care.
Sadly, the dogs were left alone without water and food for about a week and were only discovered after a welfare check was completed on Lynette. It is a miracle all the dogs survived! After a 2 week stay in Animal control we have done what we know Lynette would want us to do – American Lab Rescue has taken over 10 of the dogs who were in Lynette’s care.
We are still going through the process of this rescue effort and continue to need your help. Of the 10 dogs we saved, 8 are heart worm positive and several are being treated for skin infections. Each dog is getting better and we are posting on our Facebook page and Petfinder for foster homes.
Several ways to help ALR:

Monetary Donations to help with the high costs of saving Lynette’s dogs (estimate @ $10,000 – roughly $1,000 per dog with medical and boarding expenses)
Foster homes needed to take dogs as they become healthy to travel (please keep an eye on our Facebook Page)
Sending food to the boarding kennels in LA – message ALR for address and brand we are feeding dog to keep consistent
Make a payment at the Vet vs. sending a monetary donation – please contact Courtney at

2020 Effects
2021-01-01 08:00 - 2021-12-31 20:02
Hello Everyone,
It’s hard to believe that American Lab Rescue has been saving dogs for 16 years. During that time, we have placed over 7,200 dogs with wonderful families.
In those 16 years, we rescued dogs, we paid our bills and at the end of the day rescued more dogs.
This past year it’s been a bit more challenging.
Up until the beginning of 2020 our operating expenses (Vet, boarding, transportation, pull fees, etc.) were covered by a combination of collected adoption fees and donations.
Since that time our expenses have increased well beyond what we collect.
In the last year:

Boarding Expenses have increased $23,000
Transportation Costs have increased $21,000
And Vet Expenses are up $43,000 over 2020 costs

That’s a total increase of over $87,000!
After the first 3+ months of this year we are already in the Red.
Total Operating Expenses are running $40,000 higher than the same time in 2020. Total income is down $14,000.
We need to raise funds to help close this growing gap between increasing expenses and falling income.
Without raising the necessary funds to keep up with our expenses, we will have to reduce the number of dogs that we can rescue.
As you may know, we are 100% volunteer staffed. There are no paid employees. 100% of dollars raised go towards expenses.
We ask that you help us to continue our Mission – rescue dogs in need and find the Forever Homes they each so richly deserve. Any amount will do.

HELP WANTED
We are also looking for volunteers who are truly interested in helping ALR. We are actively searching for people to assist in fundraising, marketing, and grant writing. Specifically, to come up with ideas and programs for raising funds and commit to running them. We also need people who can research identify and apply for monies that are available to nonprofit groups such as ours.
Your help is needed now more than ever. Without an immediate uptick in our income stream, we will have to slow down rescuing dogs and only rescue what we can pay for.
Thank you all for your continued dedication and support of ALR, we appreciate it. And thank you for taking the time to read this.
Regards,
American Lab Rescue
