LRGR Adoption Stories
Rescue Changed Their Life. Love Changed Everything.
Sometimes the best stories are the ones told by the people living them.
“Full‑Body Hugs and Full‑Hearted Love: Kal’s Happy Tail”
We adopted Kal El, aka Kal, Calvin in 2021. He was rescued by Lab Rescue and put up for rehoming. He checked in at 37 pounds and had a parasitic infection. We drove to Richmond with our 10 year old Lab, Mars, to meet and greet and hopefully head home all together.
Once Kal realized that Mars had senior status all was fine. Months later, Kal sat with me in the backyard for hours as Mars crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Today Kal is an 80 pound Doodle, happy with his daily life running the house, sleeping wherever he wants and requiring constant attention. He loves sunning on his deck and endless truck rides. Famous in the neighborhood for his full body hugs. He is happy and lets you know. He is more than a daily part of our lives. He is family.
