We understand that the thought of re-homing your Labrador may have been the last thing you ever intended to happen and we are sorry that you are currently in this position. We hope we can help you in this process by offering some information below.
Before you surrender your dog, please read this educational material to give you some possible ideas on keeping your dog. Also, here is another website on giving your dog away that has a wealth of information that you should consider. Yes -- it is written about Pit Bulls, but the information applies to any breed and you really should read it!
If you are moving and having difficulty finding housing that will accommodate your Lab, please see our Pet Friendly Rentals Resource Page before you consider giving up your dog.
IF YOU'VE RECENTLY RESCUED OR OWN a Lab and need financial assistance for critically-needed surgery or other special veterinary procedures, Labrador Lifeline or LABMED may be able to help.
If you are interested in placing your Labrador retriever with SCLRR's assistance, please see our Owner's dog listing page or our "quick and easy" Courtesy Listings. We generally cannot help you place Labrador Retriever mixes, as our mission involves the placement of purebred Labrador Retrievers and that is what our families are typically looking to adopt. To find additional organizations, please consult Petfinders, Save-A-Pet, or similar sites or organizations to find rescues that handle mixed breeds as well. Also, the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation is looking for prospective dogs.
If you have a purebred Labrador that you want to give up to SCLRR, please visit giving up your Lab for information on the process.
