Whenever possible, GGLRR will post Labs for individuals who must find a new home for their pet. Dogs on this page have not been met and evaluated by GGLRR and are not part of our program. We only provide this listing service as a courtesy for a month to Northern / Central California Labs and assume no responsibilities for the dogs posted on this page. Please contact labrescuesfbayarea@gmail.com if you have a dog you would like us to post on this page and provide the posting as you would like it to appear on the page. Please note since we are a Lab Rescue, we only list Labrador Retrievers or Lab-mixes that appear to be mostly Labrador.
We welcome donations from those who benefit from our maintenance of this web page.

Labs and Lab Mixes Available from Others
Bumblebee, 2yo Sweet Lab.
added 4/14/25
Background: Bumblebee is an incredibly funny, good-natured, and optimistic 2-year old Labrador who will brighten every room he enters. Despite a very rough start in life, he beat the odds—and somehow, his hardships only made his spirit shine even brighter.
This sweet boy is a true social butterfly. He adores people, thrives from playing with dog friends and gives the gentlest, most heart-melting kisses. One of his favorite things in the world? Water! Bumblebee would happily spend all day splashing and swimming if he could.
Bumblebee’s resilience, gentle spirit, and joyful love of life are what make him truly special. Now, he’s ready to share that big heart with a forever family who will cherish him as deeply as he deserves.
Located In: Santa Rosa
Our shelter facility - Muttopia - is located in Santa Rosa and is not open to the public. All of our dogs are viewed by appointment only. The first step in our adoption process is to submit our online adoption questionnaire. You can find the questionnaire here: https://cwob.org/adoption-form.html.
Tank | Yellow Lab | 11-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 80 lbs.
added 2/20/25
Background: Tank came to us from a Central Valley shelter where he had ended up after his owner passed away. At 11 years young, Tank does not let his age or ailments get in the way of his exploration. With the curiosity and enthusiasm of a youthful pup, Tank has proven that age is just a number! Tank gets along with doggies and humans alike at the Lily’s Legacy, excitedly approaching new furry friends for play and asking for belly rubs from all humans he meets!
Sweet Tank has been diagnosed with a heart condition and is on medication to manage it as best as possible. We manage his activity levels, and over time, there is a possibility that his body may stop responding to the medication he is on. If or when this may happen is unknown. In the meantime, Tank is the happiest and sweetest dog and deserves the home he likely never had. We’ve got him to a healthy weight, his mobility has improved immensely (although he will do best in a one story home). His skin looks amazing, and his coat is now full and shiny, where it used to be splotchy and dull. All Tank needs now is to be in a cozy home full of love and devotion.
Located In: Central Valley
For information or to meet Tank, please email lilyslegacysds@gmail.com or call (707) 787-7010.
We Need Your Help!
Even with all our volunteers, it costs a lot to save and place ~250 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.
