Looking to adopt a dog? The Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue has plenty of Labs that are in need of a home! SCLRR is a non-profit rescue, adoption and referral organization, dedicated to placing unwanted and abandoned Labradors in new homes.

Please consider opening your home to a Lab in need with the Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue! Fostering is important, fun and a great way to help out at no cost to you. SCLRR will provide veterinary care, food, and equipment for your foster dog. They ask their foster families to treat the foster dog as they would their own pet – with love, attention, discipline, and structure. Aside from regular day-to-day care (feeding, grooming, exercise), the responsibilities of a foster home may include basic training, socialization and evaluation, and of course plenty of playtime and snuggling. If you live in Los Angeles, Orange, or Ventura County, in a coastal community of Santa Barbara County between Goleta and the Ventura County line, or in the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County in Upland, Chino, Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, Victorville, Apple Valley or Hesperia, consider becoming a Lab Rescue foster parent!

Ready to invite a furry friend into your home? Consider adopting a Brittany Foundation doggy! Fill out the adoption application on their website to get started and visit their Instagram (@thebrittanyfoundation) to see the available pups.

The Brittany Foundation houses many special needs dogs at their sanctuary. Most of these dogs are available for adoption, but due to age, medical issues, or emotional issues, it's unlikely that they will be placed. These dogs are expected to spend the remainder of their lives at the sanctuary. Veterinary expenses for these dogs are significantly higher than average. Sponsoring these dogs is a great way to offer direct help to their special needs pups, even if you can't adopt right now. To make a one-time or recurring monthly donation in support of these dogs please visit their website.
