In the charity's own words
LBDR take in and re-home large breed dogs. We have a strict non destruct policy and never put a dog to sleep unless advised by a vet. All dogs are neutered, vaccinated & microchipped before re-homing. All potential homes are vetted, we do follow up checks once the dog has gone to a home & give lifetime back up should there be a problem. See more at: http://largebreeddogrescue.co.uk/about-us
