* Labrador Retriever Rescue Contacts *

Last Updated: May 28, 2002

Before searching for a Labrador Retriever Rescue Group in your countries, you should know that some rescue groups cover more than one state/province. If you cannot find one within your area, please check the neighboring states/provinces. You can also check the rescue contact list of the Labrador Retriever Club for the location of a Lab rescue organization nearest you. You may also contact a Labrador Retriever breed club in your area for an unlisted rescue group close to you. In addition, your local animal shelter or humane society usually has labs waiting for a home just like yours.

Looking for a way to support the most popular breed in the USA, send your contributions to:

Labrador-L Emergency Medical Assistance

Is your pet missing? Or have you found a pet that appears to be lost? Then you may want to try the Missing Pet Network maintained by the Animal Care Unit of the USDA.

This list is maintained by Kwan Leung and is updated frequently. If you would like to submit, revise or delete information, please send an email to .

Disclaimer: I endorse the idea of rescuing a Labrador Retriever for a pet. I have little if any experience with these rescue groups. I simply want to make this list available.
