## Resource

Is a lab the right dog for your home? For the first guest of the year and this season, Tara and Laura welcomed Margaret Huston from Heart of Texas Lab Rescue. Margaret shared her background in the animal rescue field, how they determine dogs to bring into the rescue, and the process for adoptions. They discussed how the stereotype that a lab is always a great family dog can be inaccurate and how they work to make sure the dog adopted is matched in a home where they are the most likely to be successful.
