Lone Star Labrador Retriever Rescue (Lone Star Lab Rescue) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization, dedicated to saving purebred Labrador Retrievers from euthanasia in city shelters throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
First, look over the Labs on our Available Labs page to see if any of our Labradors are what you are looking for. If you are seriously interested in adopting a Labrador, please fill out an Adoption Application. We cannot consider placing a dog with you until we receive your application and have a chance to review it. Once you submit your online Adoption Application, it will be emailed to us. Once received, it will be reviewed to determine if your home is a good match for this breed. We will send you an email to let you know your application has been reviewed, so please ensure you provide us an email address on your application. Upon review of your application, we will talk to you about your family and what kind of temperament and activity level you are looking for in a Lab. Please keep an open mind! Take our advice and recommendations on which of our Labs would be best in your home. We know our dogs best. If we have a Lab in our program that seems to fit your environment and family, we will suggest you that and your family schedule an appointment to meet the Lab at a convenient place or the foster home. Once you have met a Lab that seems to be a good fit for your family, a home visit will be scheduled. If at all possible, we will bring the specific Lab that you are interested in adopting with us to the home visit. If a home study is not scheduled at the Meet and Greet, a volunteer will contact you to make arrangements. The purpose of the home study is for the volunteer to come out to your house to see if it is a suitable place for a rescued Labrador and fits with your family’s lifestyle. Depending on the Labrador’s temperament, you must have either a fenced yard (majority of the cases) or have close access to a dog park and/or be willing to walk/jog daily with the Lab. Please understand that we do NOT work on a “first come, first served” basis. Our primary focus is to find the very best home for each specific Labrador. We work hard to make sure that each Lab is happy in his home and every family member in your family is happy with your new Labrador too!
