Thank you to all the people interested in adopting a lab from our Rescue. At this time, we have many approved applicants waiting to adopt our labs as they become available. Because of this interest in our labs and our rescue, we are doing our best to rescue as many labs that we can (if we had more foster homes, we'd be able to help even more labs! hint, hint). If you apply to adopt from our Rescue, please be prepared to wait for the right lab for your family. At Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue we maintain a list of available Labs and Lab mixes. This list is updated on a regular basis and is made up of dogs being given up by their owners (but still living with the owners) and dogs that are in foster care with one of our volunteers. BLRR does not have a shelter or kennel facility. The dogs we list for adoption are located throughout our coverage area. We do our best to evaluate each dog to give potential adopters detailed and accurate information regarding each dog’s history, personality, and obedience level.
All of the dogs available for adoption through Brookline are up-to-date on their shots and heartworm tested. We try to have dogs spayed/neutered, if they are not already, however this is not always possible.
If you are interested in one of our available dogs, or if you would like to be on our waiting list until the right dog comes along, you must first be sure that you are in our coverage area. Then fill out and submit an adoption application. Our volunteers conduct home visits for each of our applicants - once before approving an application and again when closing an adoption. Due to our volunteer's limited ability to travel, we can only work with homes within our coverage area.
If you are outside our coverage area, please see our Links page for ways to find a Lab rescue in your area. Once you have determined that you are in our coverage area, please continue reading for more information: The Adoption Process Adoption Donations Preparing for your adopted dog What to expect the first three weeks (and beyond) Adoption FAQ page
