Labs in Need from Other Rescues, Shelters and Individuals
Last updated January 27, 2012
Whenever possible, GGLRR Lab Rescue will list Labradors that are available through San Francisco Bay Area animal shelters, other rescue organizations, and individual rescuers. These organizations are not part of GGLRR. We only provide this listing service as a courtesy for 2 weeks to Northern/Central California Labs and encourage people willing to drive/fly further to check PetFinder or Adopt a Pet. If you are interested in any of the dogs listed from another organization, please contact that group directly.
We have had tremendous success helping these local shelters and rescue groups place Labs. Please contact bdugdale@comcast.net for any changes to this page since these dogs are not part of GGLRR's adoption program.
Please note: since we are a Lab Rescue, we only list Labrador Retrievers or Lab-mixes that appear to be mostly Labrador. For additional dogs in need of new homes, please search:
- Adopt a Pet (search for Labs in many shelters and rescue organizations)
- PetFinder (search for Labs in many shelters and rescue organizations)
- PetHarbor (search for Labs in all California shelters)
- Resources for more links to specific shelter and rescue websites.
Labs and Lab Mixes Available from Individuals
Labs and Lab Mixes from Other Rescues or Shelters
Raven is a 3 month old black lab mix puppy who came into a high kill shelter in the valley as a stray. Raven is all black with white on her chest. She might be mixed with border collie. She weighs 13 pounds, is microchipped, has had her 1st round of shots and is spayed. She will probably grow to be between 45 and 50 pounds. She is very sociable and gets along with everyone - adults, kids, dogs and cats. Raven is a very healthy and energetic pup who is looking for a family who can spend a lot of time with her, exercise and train her. Since she is a baby she hasn't had any training and will need some. She loves to be petted, play with her toys and run around. She would prefer to be placed with a family where someone is home at least part of the day. She is located in Fremont. There is a rehoming fee.
If you are interested in Raven please email or call Sharon at Wags and Whiskers (650)465-9669, sharoncarrillo@hotmail.com. If you email please include a telephone number.

Rex is a beautiful 8 year old purebred yellow lab. He was rescued from a high kill shelter in the valley where he came in as a stray. He weighs 65 pounds. Rex is microchipped, neutered, up to date on shots and tested negative for heartworm. He is a very friendly, happy and well-mannered boy who gets along with everyone - adults, kids, dogs and cats. He is house trained, knows how to sit and walks well on a leash. He rides well in the car. He likes to play with doggie toys. After Rex was pulled out of the shelter we noticed that when he runs a lot he limps a little bit. He doesn't limp when he walks or plays ball. I brought him to the dog park and he trotted around the park nicely. We had him x-rayed and found out he has an old ACL injury in his rear left leg. The vet recommended that surgery not be performed. He said Rex is doing well and otherwise is very healthy. If you are looking for a great companion who you would like to take on walks and to the dog park then consider Rex. There is a rehoming fee.
If you are interested in Rex please email or call Sharon at Wags and Whiskers (650)465-9669, sharoncarrillo@hotmail.com. If you email please include a telephone number.

We Need Your Help!
Even with all our volunteers, it costs a lot to save and place 300 Labs a year. There are costs to bail-out these dogs from the shelters along with vet and temporary kennelling costs when no foster homes are available. Please consider a donation of cash, vehicle, or even your time through volunteering.
