Why choose LRR?
LRR has been placing Labs in suitable, loving homes for more than 20 years. LRR is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors and staffed largely by volunteer workers made up of LRR adopters, Labrador breeders, and dog trainers. We stand behind each adoption with support from experienced, knowledgeable volunteers who love the Labrador Retriever breed.
We foster each Lab in a loving foster home, not a large, institutional kennel. We screen adopters by visiting their homes, with our own Labs, and writing a detailed home study report. People who adopt a new "best friend" from LRR find that the time, effort, and loving care we take in matching adopter and Lab—along with our lifetime take-back guarantee on any Lab we place—is a successful formula few rescues can match.

eligible to receive donations via the Combined Federal Campaign.
Our CFC designation code is 48624.
If you are a federal employee, please consider making a donation to Labrador Retriever Rescue though the Combined Federal Campaign.

On May 6, 2012, several of the Labrador Retrievers we recently placed brought their proud families to parade them around the show ring at the Spring Match of the Labrador Retriever Club of Greater Boston. All the Rescue Labs were awarded yellow "Honorary Champion" ribbons. Here are some photos of happy Labs taken that day.

What do you love about your Rescue Lab?
If you've adopted a Lab from Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc., you can now submit your own "success story" for our website. You do not need to have a "dramatic" tale to relate; we all love to read stories about the joy, mischief, and simple, everyday pleasures a Rescue Lab brings to a household.
How do you identify a "reputable" rescue?
We discovered this informative and useful article on the Wisconsin Dog Rescue's website about how to recognize a reputable animal rescue organization. Since our inception more than 20 years ago, Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc.'s policies have been consistent with this definition of a reputable rescue.
