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.

Apply NOW for summer adoption!

If you are thinking of adopting a Lab in the summer, now is the time to apply. Because our placement process is designed to find the ideal home for each Lab, it can take several months from the time you apply until we have the right dog for your home.

Get your application in early. If you wait until June or July to apply, it could be too late

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.
