Lowcountry Lab Rescue (LLR) is a 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization that rescues and rehomes stray and unwanted Labrador Retrievers from life-threatening situations. LLR promotes responsible Labrador ownership through breed education and spay and neuter advocacy to prevent abandonment and homelessness of Labrador Retrievers.
If you want to adopt a labrador from Lowcountry Lab Rescue, we must have a completed adoption application from you. Lots of our dogs get adopted before they even get to be posted on Petfinder because we have a previously approved applicant who is interested. Only approved applicants can meet our dogs. A non-refundable $10 application fee is collected in the form of a donation to Lowcountry Lab Rescue. You can pay this fee at the bottom of this page. Our adoption fee $275. This includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and any necessary vetting. This usually does not cover the cost of care we have provided for each dog while they are in foster care. You must be 21 or older to apply. Please do not apply to adopt a Lowcountry Lab Rescue dog unless you meet the age requirement-this can not be waived. LLR dogs must be indoor dogs. Our adoption agreement requires our adopted Labs to be primarily inside dogs. Leaving them outside for extended periods of time, such as while gone to work, is not acceptable. They must sleep inside the house, heated and cooled. Sleeping or staying in a garage with access to the yard while alone or at night is not the optimum arrangement for our rescued Retrievers. A fenced yard is required. Applicants must have a fence and physical fencing takes priority over invisible fence. If there is an extenuating circumstance such as you reside in an apartment/ townhouse/ condo or your homeowner's association does not allow fencing, please state the reason for lack of fencing on your application. Please complete the application in its entirety. Three personal references and a vet reference is required. Please allow 3-5 business days for someone to contact you. If you have not heard within 10 days, please contact us to be sure your application was received. Please keep in mind we are an all volunteer organization, and our volunteers all have families, jobs, and other commitments to tend to, in addition to the time they put into LLR. We do not ship dogs out of state. We do adopt out of state, but you must travel to South Carolina to meet our dogs.
