Monty Walks for K9 Cancer


Over the years I have lost several of my best friends to canine cancer, including my beloved Shasta and Nanda. I am so lucky that within the Heart of TX Lab Family we have several survivors, including our beloved Pete who lost a leg to bone cancer and was given 6 months to live, that was 3 years ago.

In October Les and Monty from Labradors WorldWide will be making a 27 mile hike to raise funds for The National Canine Cancer Foundation

Monty is walking for all those who can't. For all our friends who are no longer here to walk with him. He is walking for all of our FurKids who we love so much and whom each of us hopes and prays never have to endure cancer.

What I want you to do is go onto their hike site (listed below) and donate just a little. Economically these are very tough times that we live in. But if you could donate $5 or $10 (all funds are donated right o to the charity nothing to them) we can help.

learn more about the walk at:

Ray Hebert from Heart of Tx Lab Rescue wants to thank Les and Monty for hiking for those who can't.

I am a personal human survivor. The types of cancer that our pets get are very similar to what humans get. Just like Heartworms, and Parvo Virus I believe this is curable. We just need to fund the research until the right treatments are found.

Meet Ben



Ben- DOB 1998
Color: Chocolate

Ben was a HOTLab Rescue dog ten years ago and just recently found his way back to us.

If we didn't know he was ours in 1999 we'd think he's about 7 or 8 right now - very spry for his age and in really good shape! AND - As you can see from his photos - he loves toys!

He did come back to us with an allergy history, but his allergies are easy - he's allergic to Barley, Duck, Kelp, Rabbit, White Potato, various grasses and trees (but nothing common like oak). So no Duck hunting for Ben ;(
