Lab Rescue of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization (Non-Profit Tax I.D. 52-1880024) with a two-fold mission: (1) we rescue, foster and place homeless, abused, and/or abandoned Labrador Retrievers (and Golden Retriever-Labrador Retriever mixes) and (2) we provide a referral service for owners seeking to place their Labradors in new homes. We are similar to other animal placement groups such as shelters and humane societies, but we specialize in Labradors. The orphans we receive first are evaluated for temperament and then placed with foster families where they are loved, exercised and further evaluated as they await adoption. All of our dogs are provided with rabies and distemper shots, heartworm check and, if possible, spayed/neutered. We place over 650 Labradors each year. You can reach us at 301-299-6756 or write to us at P.O. Box 1741, Silver Spring, Maryland, 20915. We serve the VA, MD and DC area. Our website is http://www.lab-rescue.com/
