Welcome to Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue!
Lab Rescue Overview
We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit tax-exempt organization in the greater San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. Our rescue team saves purebred Labrador Retrievers and Lab mixes from shelters, as well as assist people giving up their dogs for adoption. We provide foster homes, veterinary care, and rehabilitation when needed, and place them with loving, forever families. Read some of our happy ending Stories.
Our services are limited to the San Francisco Bay Area and encompass the following area codes: 408, 415, 510, 650, 707, 831, and 925.
Please find out the process for getting on our approved adopters list on our how to Adopt page, or see our Labs still looking for homes and those recently adopted under Labs Available.
Show your support of lab rescue by shopping in our new GGLRR logo and Lab merchandise Store. Profits from our product sales go towards helping more homeless Labs.
GGLRR saves over 300 Labs a year (347 in 2009!) but the need is far greater with so many people losing jobs and homes or other reasons for abandoning their dog. A Story of a Shelter Dog is a poignant reminder of our responsibilities to man's best friend. If you want to help Labs in need, please consider adopting a rescue/shelter dog, making a Donation of cash/vehicle, or donating your time as a Volunteer. GGLRR and the Labs we rescue are very appreciative of all the tremendous support we receive -- thanks to the people and businesses who are contributing their time, services, and money!

Memorials & Tributes
Our generous supporters often include touching notes in memory or honor of someone special. We wanted to share these tributes with our Lab Rescue community!
Perhaps you know someone who recently adopted a Lab who you can welcome with a donation in honor of their arrival. Or maybe you have friends who had to say goodbye to a beloved old Lab and you want them to know you empathize with their loss. Please think of GGLRR tributes the next time you want to give a Lab-lover a very special gift!
More about GGLRR
GGLRR exists to:
- Encourage and promote responsible dog ownership and reduce the abuse and neglect of unwanted Labrador Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption.
- Promote the humane treatment of Labrador Retrievers and accept for placement unwanted Labrador Retrievers, care for them medically, spay/neuter them and place them in caring homes.
- Provide educational services to interested public regarding responsible breeding and guardianship of Labrador Retrievers.
- Educate dog owners about training, spay/neuter and the humane care for their dogs and promote good canine citizenship.
Essentially GGLRR facilitates the placement of unwanted Labrador Retrievers into loving new homes. We have a spay/neuter requirement for all dogs that we place. If a dog has been abused or needs medical attention, we provide emotional and medical rehabilitation. Individuals who desire to adopt Labrador Retrievers must first contact one of our rescue representatives for adoption screening before being introduced to any of our dogs. Our primary purpose is to provide good homes for Labrador Retrievers who might otherwise be abandoned or euthanized by their previous owners. Through education, we seek to reduce the unwanted dog population and increase responsible pet ownership.
