The One That Came Back
Why we keep that number visible.
In fifteen years of Lab placements, one puppy has come back to us — and we took her back the day we got the call. That's the promise behind every placement: if you ever can't keep one of our dogs, she comes home. Not to a shelter, not to a stranger. Home.
That's why the 40-to-1 number matters. It's not a marketing number. It's the program working as intended.
