Who We Are...
We are small group of Labrador lovers who want to help dogs with the misfortune to be born in a region where they are not wanted.
We specialize in the adoption of black Labradors. Shelters across the country report that big, black dogs have the lowest adoption rate (and, sadly, the highest euthanasia percentage). Please consider a black dogs because they have several advantages over lighter-colored canines:
--- BETTER PROTECTION. A black dog is 100 percent more intimidating to people than a light-colored dog of the same size.
--- EASIER TO ACCESSORIZE. Black dogs are attractive in a variety of bold (red, blue, purple, fuchsia, green, yellow, orange), neutral (black, white, gray, brown), and even pastel (lavender, rose, azure, peach) that are unflattering to light-colored dogs.
--- MORE INTELLIGENT. Black Labradors are more intelligent than their yellow or brown siblings, according to some experienced duck hunters and dog guardians. (These gentlemen will be pleased to share their opinions with you upon request.)

Adopting a friend...
Margie is the contact in California who arranges all the adoptions of puppies and shipping from the southern states to the puppies new forever homes in California. If you would like to be considered for adopting one of the puppies listed here or for a puppy we may have in the future please send an email to carrelabs@yahoo.com and request an application.
The total costs of adopting one of the puppies generally is $225-400, depending on the size of the puppy and how many we are shipping together in a crate. Little puppies of course are the least expensive to ship, with the bigger and older puppies costing more. C.A.R.R.E. is nonprofit, volunteer organization. This fee is calculated to recoup the money that we spend to prepare a dog for life on the West Coast.
The fee includes their vaccinations, sterilization if they are old enough to be neutered or spayed, and transportation. All puppies have received at least their first set of puppy shots, have been wormed, and are examined by a vet prior to being shipped to California. If the puppy is not old enough to be spayed or neutered you must be willing to sign an agreement stating you will do so by the time the puppy is 6 months old, otherwise the puppy must and will be returned to C.A.R.R.E. at the adopters cost.
