Lending Paws A Hand Rescue to Join Unleashed's Spring Fling!
Lending Paws A Hand Rescue to join Unleashed's Spring Fling!

Lending Paws a Hand has been joining us for Spring Fling almost since the beginning and we are happy to have them coming back this year. When asked what they love about Spring Fling, they said:

"We love all the comradery with other animal lovers! It is so great seeing so many wonderful participants, businesses and rescue groups come together to support animal welfare!"

This group has been helping the animals of Lee County since 2014. Like so many rescue groups, they are foster based, which means that they don't have a physical shelter location. All of their adoptable dogs and cats live with foster families which gives them a great picture of how the pet will behave in their forever home! It also means that they are limited in the number of animals they can help; without people opening their homes to foster, they can't take in more animals.


Lending Paws A Hand Rescue

Mary, the founder, got started transporting animals for different rescues after becoming aware of the plight of pets in small, rural county shelters. Her dog Luke came from Lee County shelter and originally was going to be pulled by a rescue group. Unfortunately, things didn't end up working out with that group and Mary adopted him to keep him from being euthanized. One thing led to another and a couple years later, Lending Paws a Hand was founded!



Adopt Kay from Lending Paws A Hand Rescue
Adopt Me!

Meet one of their adoptable dogs, Kay (pictured here)! This adorable bulldog came into the rescue as an owner surrender because she had medical needs her family wasn't able to handle. Her ACL surgery has been taken care of by Lending Paws a Hand and now Kay is ready to find her new home! She is described as a character who will eat anything on the ground (even if she's supposed to be on a diet) and LOVES to be around her people. View her profile here, and make sure to share it to help Kay find her perfect match!

If you Love Labs, Don't Miss Lab Rescue LRCP

Lab Rescue is coming to Spring Fling 2025!
Lab Rescue LRCP is coming to Spring Fling 2025!

Lab Rescue LRCP is another returning Spring Fling rescue group and we are excited to have back this year. They love sharing their mission with everyone and bringing awareness to the labs they love!


Lab Rescue LRCP is an all-volunteer, foster based organization that works with Labrador Retrievers in the mid-Atlantic region. Their service area spans from Pennsylvania and Delaware through West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Labs that come into their care are all given veterinary care, including spay and neuter. They average 1,000 labs through their program each year!


They are considered a "virtual" organization because they span such a large area and only utilize foster homes. Their website has all kinds of information about Labrador Retrievers and, of course, the dogs they have available for adoption. Most of their dogs are fostered in Maryland and Virginia but they have supporters and adopters across their service area. In addition to the usual needs like donations and foster homes, groups like Lab Rescue LRCP rely heavily on volunteers to transport dogs to where they need to be. An open foster home may be a couple states away and the dog just needs someone to get them there. If fostering isn't for you, this may be a great way to help out!


Make sure to check out their website for their available dogs and be sure to check back here later. Once it gets closer to the event, we may have an adoptable dog to highlight and who knows, it may be one that you can meet at Spring Fling!


You can see all their available dogs on their website and learn how you can help out. Make sure to stop by their booth at Spring Fling and follow their social media channels, Facebook and Instagram to keep up with them!

Adopt Me! Meryl is currently available from Pawsitively Pugs Rescue.

One of their adoptable dogs is Meryl, pictured here. She is a distinguished, eight-year-old lady who is described as a sweetheart who loves attention. She enjoys playing with other dogs and following her foster mom around! You can read more about Meryl here.
