The Mile High Labrador Retriever Mission, (MHLRM), a 501(c)3 non-profit public charity, is dedicated to alleviating the needless death and suffering of homeless or misplaced (lost and stray) purebred Labrador Retrievers as well as Labrador mixes mostly in high-kill overpopulated pet areas that usually are out of state. By rescuing and rehabilitating homeless Labradors in high-kill areas, vigorously promoting responsible dog ownership through active participation in pet-related events, and through our own education program, we strive for a better life for each of our animals. The majority of dogs that you see available for adoption with MHLRM were previously in county pounds or shelters that find themselves at capacity and are forced to euthanize, or dogs that have simply "sat on the shelf" and not gotten adopted quick enough and have run out of time. Many of these facilities use euthanasia methods that are considered inhumane by the majority of the US population but are still being implemented (ie. the gas chamber method or "heart-stick" method). We are active in the metro area of Colorado, and we belong to an amazing network of volunteers across the country that work hard in very rural areas to help get Labradors to safety. We have rescued Labs from Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming. When we learn of a dog in need, we coordinate foster arrangements and appropriate health care where the dog is and also here in Colorado, and then we attempt to bring them here to Colorado and MHLRM, find them an amazing family and give them a new outlook on life.
1. Fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION. 2. Complete the Virtual Home Visit instructions that will appear once you submit your application. We will also send you an email with the same instructions to the email address you provided on your application from mhlrmhomevisit@gmail.com. 3. A volunteer will be in contact for an interview as soon as possible once your virtual home visit and all your references are checked. 4. A email notification will then be sent to you from mhlrmhomevisit@gmail.com with the results of your application (i.e.: approved/denied). 5. Dogs visits are arranged after approval through the Adoption Coordinator. All of our dogs are in foster homes and we do not have a facility to visit. Because of this, an approved application must be on file before you visit with our dogs. 6. A formal Adoption Agreement is signed and then you go home with your new family member, a lovable rescue dog!
