Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond is a non-profit, all volunteer organization serving Richmond, Virginia and nearby counties.

We rescue Labrador Retrievers and provide them with foster homes and veterinary care until they can be adopted into new, loving homes. Each one of our Labs is housed in a foster home, instead of in a kennel.

We feel this is the best way to get to know the Labs we rescue. We are not affiliated with any other Lab Rescue.

Please keep in mind that there are many purebred Labs available in your local shelters so please visit them as well!

  Featured Lab  

Cain (#11-025)

Cain came to us many months ago begging for help. This 4 year old neutered boy is sweeter than honey. He adores people, and will follow you around all day. Cain enjoys walks and sniffing the whole wide world. He is cratetrained (though he doesn't need to be crated), loves his chew bone, and settles at your feet nicely. From his fosters: "Cain is the silliest dog we've met. He wants to play with his foster sister so badly, but she is too dignified for that kind of play. But he doesn't stop trying , because one day she just might notice him". Retrieving is a favorite passtime, as is watching the squirrels scurry up trees. Cain weighs in at 84 lbs., good with dogs, kids 6+, and ready for 2012 to be his year. To be considered for this awesome lab/hound mix, please complete an application today.


Seniors 4 Seniors is a program we are introducing to our applicants 60 years old and up.  Once approved, you may adopt a senior lab ( 8 years old and up) at a 50% reduced rate.  All other aspects of applying and approval are required.  We encourage you to open your home to a senior lab who would love to walk with you, be a companion for you, and in return, be loved and cared for.  Complete an application today to be considered to adopt a senior lab.
