Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida

Operating from its mailing headquarters on Northeast Sixth Street in Pompano Beach, Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and placing purebred Labrador Retrievers in permanent loving homes. Founded in 2000, the rescue saves hundreds of displaced, stray, shelter-pulled, and owner-surrendered Labs each year across Broward County and the state of Florida.

Every Labrador entering the program is placed in a vetted volunteer foster home and receives a comprehensive veterinary exam, spay-and-neuter surgery, vaccinations, heartworm testing and treatment, and microchipping. Through its specialized Silver Muzzle Labs program, the organization also provides extra medical support and compassionate placement for senior Labrador Retrievers. Volunteer foster families in Pompano Beach and throughout Broward County evaluate each Labrador's retrieving drive, swimming affinity, and compatibility with children and other pets.

To ensure a safe and lasting match, prospective adopters complete an online application, a veterinary reference check, an in-depth interview, and a home visit verifying secure yard fencing or an appropriate exercise plan. Broward County dog lovers can get involved by fostering a Lab, volunteering with local transport, or donating toward medical care. Whether rescuing a high-energy young Lab or a gentle silver-muzzled senior, Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida provides lifetime support and resources for every adoptive family.
