Safe Harbor Fun Fact
We've spayed/neutered 78 Labs this year. If each one caused 10 puppies to be born, that would be 780 more dogs! We're glad to do our part to help reduce pet overpopulation.

Dear Friends of Safe Harbor Lab Rescue,
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we got to thinking: "Wow,  are we ever lucky Labs." Thank you to all Safe Harbor's supporters and volunteers who have made our lives so much better!
On to business! Have you ordered your 2020 SHLR calendar yet? They're going fast! And have you put a big circle around Tuesday, December 10,
Colorado Gives Day
?
That's the special day when you can donate to your favorite non-profit, aka Safe Harbor! And last, but not least, do you have a large steak on your shopping list for us?
Woofs, Wags and Happy Thanksgiving!

Your Donations at Work: Thank You From Miss Maple Syrup!
My Name is
: Miss Maple Syrup; 10 years old
Medical Profile
: Life-threatening pneumonia and hormone problem
My Story
: Being a stray at a local humane society was kinda hard on my spirits. On top of that their vet thought I might have a medical issue where my body was making too much of a certain hormone (Cushings disease), so they asked Safe Harbor if they would take me. They said "Yes!" in a heartbeat. After some tests, I started on meds to get things back in balance and then . . . I came down with a really severe case of pneumonia. I spent seven days in Intensive Care with a fever as high as 105 and dangerously low oxygen levels. Whew, it was touch and go, but I made it thanks to Safe Harbor believing in me and the critical care specialists at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital!
Help with my big vet bill would be most appreciated!

Volunteer Spotlight: Lee Spampinato
 Checking references for potential adopters is an important volunteer job! It ensures we are matching and adopting our Labs to good people who will love their Lab and be able to care for them for the rest of their life. Lee is one of our amazing reference checkers who has been doing this job for 4-5 years now.
Lee volunteers his time by calling a potential adopter's references. He started reference checking after adopting his lucky Lab, Ms. Trudy, and wanted to volunteer after having a great adoption experience.
Lee enjoys talking with people and sharing his experiences about Safe Harbor Lab Rescue. Being a veteran himself, Lee has also helped introduce a couple of Safe Harbor's Labs to other veterans. He took Ms. Trudy to visit a wounded veteran, and she soaked up all of the love that was given to her.
He remarks there is no other organization like SHLR. People who he talks with recognize that the organization is passionate about the rescued Labs. He appreciates that people thank him for the work he is doing to bring a Lab to their new home.
Safe Harbor Lab Rescue thanks Lee for all of his help over the last few years!

Since joining Sarabeth and Antonio's family, ten-year-old Clyde has shed all his worries along with a few pounds and become quite the mountain dog. This beautiful senior Lab is embracing his inner pup as he hikes and wades his way through some of Colorado's most beautiful scenery and keeps up with his active new parents every step of the way. What a dream come true for a gentle gent who may have a few years behind him but still has so much life to live and love to share.
