Welcome to the Golden Gate Labrador Rescue blog. You can visit our webpage at http://www.labrescue.org to see a list of Labs available through us as well as Labs and Lab mixes that are available from other rescue groups and shelters in the San Francisco bay area.

Our service area is the San Francisco bay area. We only place Labs with adopters within our service area. We have had to do this because we have had problems in the past with people adopting dogs who live out side our area, then deciding they no longer want the dog and refusing to drive the dog back to us.

I tend to post Labs and Lab mixes from shelters that are not really in our service area. I do this because they are in rural areas that tend to have a lot more dogs than adopters. We have been very successful in helping find homes for dogs at the Merced, Tehama, Madera, and Nevada County Shelters. I receive emails frequently from adopters that say they drive 3 hours to adopt a Lab they see on our website. I have also heard that because the shelters know that we send people to their shelters , they tend to keep dogs at the shelters longer before they are being put to sleep.

Our rescue is a made up of a very small group of Lab owners. "If you know of a Lab in need of a home or a home in need of a Lab" contact us (as long as you are in the SF bay area).

Please visit our website at http://labrescue.org . It's updated each evening after work.

Hi - Does anyone know what happened to the white Lab you named SPLASH. I thought I had a good potential home for him with a friend that has the time the space the energy the love the consistent discipline/praise training behavior. Is he gone to a good home? If he comes back will you let me know? Thanks Susan at susansstudy@sbcglobal.net

Splash was adopted within a day or two of him being posted on our website. I don't know if his new home has a pool or not.

Hi,
I've been calling and leaving messages in regards to "Hank" the 8-1/2 month yellow lab. Do you still have him? We have a home for him. We would really kie to see this dog. My name is David Whitmyre. I have been calling the number listed for him, which gives a message stating it is the home of Carl, Kathleen and Calvin and Lab Rescue. It that the right place? We have a home for him in the Napa area.

David, I sent an email to Kathleen asking that she call you regarding Hank. I'm not sure if he is still available. I tried replying to your email but it bounced back. Can you please send an email to doghouse@labrescue.org and I will forward your email to Kathleen. Please include your phone number in the email. Maybe her message machine is on the fritz. I know I have accidently erased messages before. Thanks, Joy (Lab Rescue)

David, I received an email regarding "Hank". We thought his owner was going to keep him until we could help find him I home. We just found out the owner took him to the Napa Shelter. I have him on the front page and also listed under the napa shelter. Please contack them directly to adopt him. Good luck. Golden Gate Lab Rescue
