Teddy (6) will soon be making his appearance in the Dog-a-Log and he can't wait! His family sadly surrended him to DLRR. They had him since a puppy but life was busy with two small kids and another on the way. It was a hard decision but they did what was best for Teddy.

Teddy's foster family says that Teddy is a fun and energetic 8 year old. He loves to swim, play fetch and win at tug-of-war. He’s an excellent walker and would love a family to take him on all their adventures. He’s smart and knows many commands. Maybe he is just what you are hoping for!

Look for Teddy soon in the Dog-a-Log.

Happy National Adoption Day! 🐾💛 Today, we celebrate the joy of giving Labs a second chance at life through adoption. Adopting a Lab not only changes their life, but it will change yours, too! Every Lab we rescue is looking for their forever home, and you can be part of that journey.

Our rescue work depends entirely on fundraising and donations, and as we approach the year-end, we want to remind you how your support can make a significant impact! 🐶 Your financial contributions ensure that we can continue our mission of helping displaced Labrador Retrievers find safe and loving homes.

We spend approximately $500 on basic medical bills for each dog we save. If a spay or neuter surgery is required, the cost can exceed $1,000.

🧡 Remember, we are a 501(c)(3) organization, which means your donations are eligible for charitable tax deductions. Click here to donate:

Penny came to us with her 5-week-old puppies. Her owner had to surrender them and knew we would help all three find a good home. Penny (20 months-old) has found her forever home and is with Jim and Sue in our Foster to Adopt Program (FTA). Once Penny is spayed the adoption will be finalized. We truly serve all of Arizona. Jim and Sue came from Green Valley to pick up Penny. They are trilled to have her. She slept most of the way to her new home and then settled in well with all her toys. She will have a great life!

"Hi! We just adopted Max 46 and are already head over heels in love with him! We lost our 14 year old lab in July. Planned to wait awhile before getting another dog, but then met Max and the rest is history. 💜💜 So much personality! So much love! So much Max! There’s a new dog in town!! 💜🥰🥰" Julie and Chris

Happy life, Max!

Sunday's Meet & Greet in Tucson was a fun event. We talked with store customers about DLRR and handed out brochures. A couple waiting for their home visit came by to find out about available Labs. Lilly was again the perfect ambassador and had help from Maddie, Max, and Disco. They are all DLRR alumni! Harvey was there to help from start to finish, but his alum Molly took the day off. We thank the wonderful staff of Holy Cow Tack, Feed, and Pet. They help set up our table and provide many treats for the labs in attendance. Thank you all for your support!

Missy has come through our Take Me Home (TMH) program and has been with Jim and Julie as foster-to-adopt placement. The good news is the adoption has been finalized! Missy came from a situation where her owner had dementia and passed away and now has a life with a loving retired couple who take her for long walks every day and are very devoted to her. Missy will have an amazing rest of her life with Jim and Julie. ❤️

Taz had a showing with Scott & Shannon, their 2 kids, and their 2-year-old yellow Lab Millie. Taz and Mille were instantly best friends and were sharing zoomies around the backyard together. The family knew from the minute they laid eyes on him, that he was there to stay and the adoption has been completed. Congrats on your forever home, Taz! You so deserve it. 💙🐾

Bruno met Dave and Andria and family and It could not have gone better! Bruno walked in and knew he was home. He explored the yard and played fetch and tug and then promptly dove into the pool. The kids were so excited as their previous labs didn’t like the pool and they want a swimming buddy. Well, Bruno did not disappoint. Enjoy your best life Bruno! #DesertLabradorRetrieverRescue #AdoptDontShop

It’s Autmn!

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and this is Kona’s story. 🐾 Kona was left abandoned in a field with her 12 pups by her owner. None of the puppies survived, but she stayed with them until she was rescued. In February 2018, Kona was diagnosed with a tumor and faced eight rounds of chemo. With DLRR by her side, she bravely fought through it all. Months later, Kona finished chemo, and the treatment was successful! That same month, even more good news came when she was adopted into a loving home! 🏡💛 🎶: End of Beginning by Djo

Our Corks and Collars gala will be held at Hunkapi Farms. This beautiful venue is home to equine therapy and encourages guests to take a breath and open their hearts. ❤️ The word Hunkapi means "we are all related." It’s a reminder of our need for and reliance on one another, and the responsibility we share in passing that feeling forward. Together, we can make a difference. 🐾❤️ 🎶: Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles Revival Band
