How Do I Rescue a Wolf Lab Puppy?

Wolf lab puppies are a mix of a dog classified as a wolf with a Labrador breed. The designation of a wolf hybrid is a term that is no longer technically correct. In 1992, scientists determined that dogs are wolves, thereby eliminating the distinction. (See reference 1) The term wolf is still commonly used among breeders to identify their dogs. Finding a specific breed of dog in a rescue situation may take longer than buying a dog from a breeder. Be patient and wait for your perfect rescue.
