Adopt-A-Lab

Meet Labs available for adoption from Lab Rescue of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac. If you bring your whole family -- human and canine -- you may be able to adopt that day. If you don't find the right Lab at the event, you can adopt directly from foster homes throughout Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Go to www.lab-rescue.org to see available dogs.

Lab Rescue has a backlog of Labs waiting to be adopted. Because of this backlog, we have had to stop taking new dogs in from the shelters until some of the current dogs are adopted. Thus some healthy Labs that could have been saved may be euthanized. To help spur more adoptions, we are offering $25 off the adoption fee through Sept. 15. Mention code “LAB-LOVER” to get the discount.

Founded in 1991, Lab Rescue of the LRCP Inc. is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization that rescues, fosters and adopts more than 900 Labrador retrievers per year to approved applicants.
