Our mission is to rescue and re-home purebred Labrador Retrievers and lab mixes 5 years or younger that have the look and temperament of a lab into loving and caring homes. Our goal is to help local shelters place a dog that has reached the time limit, take in the neglected and unwanted dog, and in some cases injured ones. All unaltered adult dogs and puppies over 8 weeks of age brought into the rescue are spayed/neutered. They have been vet checked, fecal tested for parasites & treated if needed, heartworm negative or have been treated for heartworms, heartworm preventative given, all vaccinations are updated including a 1 year rabies, micro chipped, all pre-existing injuries or medical problems are treated by a licensed vet, and they have been groomed from head to tail. Take a moment to review the dogs we have available and if you don't find one today, check back! We are very fortunate to have rehabilitated and re-homed over 350 rescued dogs to good homes - as one gets adopted another one takes their place.

Please visit our Adopt/Foster Care page to find out how to help us with much needed foster care for our growing rescue. We GREATLY APPRECIATE any assistance and volunteers. /wellness), sign in and vote for GDLRR (Greater Dayton Labrador Retriever Rescue), so we can win free dog food for our hungry rescued labs!Homes For Sale Kerrville Texas 78028 It only takes a second and it is my understanding that you can do it once daily!

The Last Resort Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

Call us for an appointment today! Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue Organization or S.P.A.R.R.O. is not your standard rescue, we are a temporary home for wayward, abandoned, unwanted, or abused dogs. All dogs that enter our organization are treated as members of a family.  Some do stay forever! If a dog is found to not fit in after several attempts at placement or no interest is shown in a particular dog we just make room and he stays for the remainder of his life. S.P.A.R.R.O. IS MOST DEFINITELY A NO-KILL ORGANIZATION! We attempt to crate train all dogs as well as teach them basic commands and how to walk on leash. Joe & Barb Maringo Joe is the Director of Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue Org/S.P.A.R.R.O. and Shades of Grey Sanctuary For Senior Dogs, and Barb is the Assistant Director. Dogs left to right: in Barb's arms is Lealah-11 weeks old (black), Nelly-13+ years old (black), Hope-19 years old (black in my arms), Sammy- 14 years old (yellow), Jake- 15 years old (golden retriever), and Paige- 18 years old (black).

We incorporated in the very beginning and in 2003 became a recognized 501c3 non profit organization. We work as partners with the Petco Foundation and the Petfinder Foundation to apply for grants and funding opportunities. ALL of our funding comes through our adoption fees that we require at the time a dog finds a new home. However, special needs and senior dogs that stay forever do not bring in any adoption fees, so we count on the kindness of strangers and dog lovers like yourself to help us make their life comfortable. In September of 2000 we saw the need for a place for abused, abandon, neglected and wayward dogs in our area to go where they could be loved, rehabbed and find forever homes. That was the birth of Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue Organization, or SPARRO. Just one year later with the tragedy of 9/11,  SPARRO was thrust into the forefront of rescue in our area. In 2000 we where able to rescue 4 dogs, but after the WTC attack and throughout 2001 we took in and re-homed 133 dogs, including 2 chocolate lab brothers directly from the NYC area just one week after the attack.
