Question 1

How much does it cost to adopt a Lab from us ?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed adoption fee, but we do solely rely on donations and fund raising.  When you adopt, we ask for a donation but the amount you donate is entirely within your gift

Question 2

I have registered online what happens next ?

Accepted Answer

We have a large register, but each time a lab comes in for rehoming we review our list. We do not rehome the labs based on who has been on the register the longest. We choose the most suitable home for the lab in question. Therefore you may be on our adoption list for some time until the right lab comes in. We try to contact people every three months to check they are still looking for a lab. We ask if you find a lab for your home from another rescue that you let us know, so we can take you off our register. We recommend that you register with a number of rescues as this will give you a better chance of a match with your new four legged pal

Question 3

I have not heard from you, have you forgotten me ? "

Accepted Answer

We try to keep people on the register updated, if you have not heard from us for over three months, please drop us an an email    contactus@team-edward-labrador-rescue.co.uk    Please be aware we are all volunteers with full time jobs and families. We will respond as soon as possible and will always reply to emails and messages

Question 4

If we have children under five why do you generally say no to us adopting from Team Edward

Accepted Answer

Whilst most labs as we know are very sociable and usually child friendly, we do not always know the full history of the lab so are very cautious about placing labs into homes with very young children

Question 5

Online Register How does it work

Accepted Answer

Edward receives a lot of messages asking to confirm if he has received the adoption details.  You should receive a confirmation message when successfully completing the form, please check your spam folder   Edward takes your personal data very seriously so he will never share your details with anyone outside of Team Edward Labrador Rescue.

Question 6

Why do I have to visit the Nottingham area to visit a potential new family member

Accepted Answer

We ask all prospective adoptees to visit the lab looking for a new home. We do not use kennels whilst labs are in our care. We place them in foster homes in the Nottingham area so we can be in close contact with them and the foster parents
