Laugh for the Love of Labs

So most of you probably know that Heart of Texas Lab Rescue is hosting a fundraiser at Capitol City Comedy Club this Friday. And since most of you share your life in the company of at least one Labrador....I know you like to laugh. So, why not join the HOTLR gang and head on out to Cap City this Friday February 11th at 8pm? Headliner is Jimmie Roulette. Here is a little snippet of what you can expect. What else do you get? Big laughs with a friendly audience of fellow Lab lovers. Feel even better about those gut busters when you realize that $9 of your $12 ticket goes directly to HOTLR to help us pay medical expenses and kenneling costs. (Cap City does require a two item menu purchase in addition to your ticket price - this could be drinks or food).

We could really use your help now too. Shari (scroll down the Labs Needing Homes page of our website to view Shari's story), a sweet yellow girl who is a recent addition to the HOTLR family has some significant health issues to overcome. Most likely used as a one dog puppy factory, Shari has a horrible bacterial skin infection and is heartworm positive. In addition to that, she's done a lot of damage to her teeth most likely from chewing the bars of the cage she was kept in. Whether it was from boredom or the desperate desire to be free and find people to play with, we can't know. Shari also needs to be spayed. Labrador Retrievers go into heat twice yearly. At approximately 6 years of age, Shari easily could have birthed between 100 and 120 puppies. Again we cannot know. One thing is for sure. This is definitely a sweet yellow girl who has more than paid her dues and is very definitely deserving of a second chance at a healthy life with a loving family.

Shari is one of our favorite kind of Labs. Her resilient personality is remarkable given the condition of her body. She is a very rewarding case to work. She is a great candidate for a successful outcome because her spirit for life doesn't allow her to get down just because she doesn't feel well. That same "joie de vivre" will be sure to reward the family that ultimately provides her a forever home. We know that Shari will be eternally grateful - making you smile and laugh and love will be her gift to you.

So don't go to Cap City for HOTLR, or for me. Go get your laugh on for sweet Shari....She'll be full of tail-waggin' thanks and so will we. Tickets must be bought prior to the night of the event. Email us at: hotlr@hotlabrescue.org for more information and to purchase tickets. I have my tickets, do you have yours?
