Our Service Area

Thank you for your interest in Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc. (LRR). LRR is a local rescue comprised of volunteers mainly in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia areas, and has now expanded to parts of Pennsylvania - specifically, Lancaster and Lebanon counties, and parts of Berks, York, and Dauphin counties. We also provide service within 30 miles of Lebanon, New Jersey, and in Delaware.

We have been overwhelmed with the interest many of you outside of this area have shown in working with us to adopt or surrender a Lab. While we would love to be able to take advantage of so many good homes and Labs out there, LRR is unable to perform long distance adoptions or give-ups and we are not affiliated with any other Labrador rescue organization.

Applicants interested in adopting a dog from LRR should be prepared to travel locally to visit at least three dogs in their foster homes, which could be in any of the areas/states we work in!

Can You Recommend A Rescue In My Area?

Unfortunately, No. LRR is an independent rescue that is not networked with any other Labrador rescue, so we cannot assist you with finding a rescue closer to your home. However, we do have several suggestions. You may want to try the AKC Labrador Retriever Rescue Network Search, Suzanne Richardson-White's Lab Rescue List, and Laird's Animal Rescue Resources, Internet links which informally track Labrador Rescues nationwide.

We also recommend you contact your local shelter/SPCA/Humane Society and inquire about local rescues. They most likely will not only know which rescues operate locally, but can also give you an idea of their policies and procedures.
