OccuPaws
occasionally accepts
Labrador puppies and young adults that meet our
selection criteria for breed, size, health, and
temperament.
Each dog is given an extensive in-home evaluation, where
it is exposed to children, small animals,
other dogs, and typical household activities and
appliances. Dogs and puppies that do not meet our
criteria are placed in suitable pet homes. All
proceeds
obtained from dog adoption fees go directly to OccuPaws.
If you would
like to donate a young dog or puppy to OccuPaws, we would be happy
to assist
you. Please note that all donations are tax deductible.
