Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue has been doing this for a while. The all-volunteer non-profit shelter has rescued 6,000 dogs, and now they're celebrating their 25th anniversary.
It costs money to keep pups like this healthy, and the vet bills last year totaled $250,000, often for minor issues.
"We also get in dogs that have higher needs," Thompson said. "Dogs that have heartworms and need shots for heartworm disease."Not only do they need donations, but they also need more volunteers too. It's not just Jack and Rose, there are plenty of Labs that need you.Want to help? Corks and Collars is coming up on November 4th, and it's their largest fundraiser every year.
