How You Can Help

There are many ways that you can help LOLIN in our efforts to save as many Labs as possible. The two biggest ways are through volunteering and donating much needed funds.

We desperately need foster homes in Indiana and the surrounding area. The responsibilities and rewards of fostering are described below. By fostering a dog, you can help us save at least one more dog (and often times many more than just one!). Please read on below to learn more.

If you can help in any of these areas, please send us an e-mail.

Other Ways You Can Help Us

Foster Home

Dogs that have been rescued need to be fostered in a home for a period of time, often from one week to a month. Foster families are greatly needed and have an important role in evaluating the temperament and behavior of the dog. Foster families help us to determine the best family placement for the dog. This commitment does, without a question, save a Lab's life.

Foster families are special people that open their hearts and homes to take in a Lab temporarily and help to place him/her in permanent homes. These dogs are fostered at the families’ expense. Only health care can be reimbursed. The family should treat the dog as they would their own dogs and keep LOLIN apprised of the dog’s condition and availability for adoption. The foster family will need to keep our Adoption Coordinator regularly updated with characteristics of the fostered dog so that a prospective family match can be considered.

Fostering is a tremendous opportunity to help us save the lives of many of the Labs we love. Please read one of our favorite articles on fostering, How do I FOSTER anyway?

If you would like to help LOLIN by becoming a foster home, please complete and submit our Online Foster Application. If you cannot submit your application electronically, please print out the PDF Version of our Foster Application. Adobe Reader, a free software available here, is required to view this document. You can then submit your completed application to either our email or mailing address as listed below.

Home Visits

Before we place any dog in a home, we send a volunteer to the adoptive home to check to make sure that it’s a safe and loving environment for our dog. Home checks 15 to 20 minutes to complete, but help us to ensure that the homes we’re adopting our dogs into are as wonderful as we think they are. We’ll work with all volunteers to help them feel comfortable doing home checks, and give the volunteers a form to follow.

In particular, we currently have desperate need for help in the following areas:

All of Southern Indiana, particularly the Bloomington, Jeffersonville, and Columbus regions, much of Northern Indiana, particularly the Lafayette, Ft. Wayne, and Merrillville regions and all of Michigan

Fundraising

Fundraising is a major step in obtaining donations. Ideas from volunteers are needed to help create methods through which we can solicit donations. These ideas can be implemented at public events related to dogs’ activities.

Event Help

When we do public events, they can be a major undertaking! We have to manage all of our dogs, mingle with the community, answer questions from potential adopters, help people fill out adoption forms, conduct interview…whew! We need all the help we can get to make these events as successful as possible.

Dog Transportation

Our dogs come from all over - we work with shelters in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio most often. Often, when dogs are transported from a shelter to a veterinarian or a foster home, it can cover trips of a couple hours each way. Volunteers are needed at various times to help transport dogs to these different places. Crates are usually used in transportation, making it safer for the dog(s) and the parties driving the dog to their destination. When we have more volunteers that can meet each other and swap out the driving time, there's less driving for everyone.

Miscellaneous Jobs

We always have a variety of other ways you can help!

If you can't volunteer, perhaps you could send a donation of any size to us so that we can continue to help these Labrador Retriever and Lab mix dogs that die daily in shelters. (We are a 501(c)3 an IRS appointed NON-PROFIT CHARITY and your donations are tax deductible! Many rescues are NOT 501(c)3, and those rescues may use your donations however they chose).

Click on the dogs below to use PayPal for your donation to us, or mail the donation to us at LOLIN, INC, PO Box 237, Noblesville, IN 46061-0237. WE SINCERELY NEED EVERY PENNY to help with the sheer number of dogs that need saved.

Thank you.
