Erika, I think what you are trying to do is very noble and kind. But do you already have a home for it? What if you do come up with enough money to adopt it, but can not find a suitable home for the puppster. Then you will be faced with taking care of it and caring for a dog can be pricey. Unless you have ahome for the Lab already, I wouldn't adopt him. I know how hard it is to see the animals at the shelter. I volunteer at the local Humane Society and I know how you feel about wanting to rescue the dog. I go through that every week, twice! What is this Lab's story? Is he in danger at the Shelter (ie will be put down if not adopted)?
If he is, then you can contact a Lab Rescue Group and see if they will take Gordy.
I would love to help you, Erika. But I do not want to see you bite off more than you can chew. Please let me know the whole story with Gordy.
