Name: Nikki
Mix/Breed: Cocker Spaniel mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 12 years, 30 lbs.
Health: Neutered and in good health.
History/Personality: Nikki is a very affectionate, 30-pound dog who wishes he could be a lap dog. He is very cute and often mistaken for a puppy, even though he is 12 years old. He loves other animals and is used to having other dogs and cats as companions. He has a history of aggression toward children and also marks indoors, so it would be best for him to find a home willing to re-train him or to keep him as an outdoor dog. He loves going on hikes and walks. Transportation to a new home can be arranged.
Adoption Fee: Contact guardian, listed below.
Agency/Contact info: This dog is in a private home and not with a rescue agency; vet references should be requested before considering adoption. Telephone: 801-583-1874. E-mail: klehrs@infonetz.com |

Utah Lab Rescue is Utah's only Labrador Retriever Club and Rescue. The organization has non-profit 501(c)3 status and rescues mostly purebred Labradors from the local city shelters, and at times in other special circumstances. The group will be introducing a new program for senior Labradors, funded by their "Peykos Memorial Fund," newly created in honor of the Founder's own Labrador "Peykos" who died tragically in April 2006. This program will allow the group to take in and rehome, or keep with the founder, senior Labradors to give them that much-deserved opportunity to live their last days or years with love, not in a cold, dark shelter. Senior Labradors eligible for this program must be 8 years of age or older. Younger Labradors will be placed up for adoption under the normal adoption program.
