Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue

About

We consist of a small group of volunteers that find and rehome rural and some local Labrador retrievers and Lab mixes. We find our Labs through shelter volunteers out of state, who will alert us to great dogs that are about to be put to sleep. Most of these labs are in "High Kill Shelters". These are shelters that are almost always full because they are located in rural areas, where the dogs run stray, easily mating because they have not been altered. The general population in many areas of the country are still ignorant to the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. Many people also find that they can not care for their dog anymore and have no one else to turn to, so they take their dog to a shelter. Many of these "High Kill Shelters" give their dogs about 4-5 days to find a home. If they are not adopted they are euthanized or placed in a gas chamber.

Pets available

Adoption process

Step 1: Adoption Application. Step 2: Phone Interview. Step 3: Home Visit. Step 4: Bring a dog home. The process of reviewing applications may take two or three days. A phone interview and home visit must also take place before an adoption is completed. We can not guarantee that the dog that you are interested in will still be available after your application has been reviewed and processed.
