North Star Labrador Retriever Rescue

Dog rescue in Worcester, MA

We are a small group of volunteers devoted to rescuing Labrador Retrievers and Labrador Retriever-mixes from overcrowded southern shelters and bringing them safely to forever homes in New England. Without rescue, many of these wonderful Labs would end up euthanized in these shelters.

Additional adoption info

Based on our knowledge of each dog and its temperament, we carefully match adopter preferences to our dogs in need and work to help you find the perfect family companion.
Potential Adopters must complete our Adoption Application and fill out an Adoption Agreement. Our standard adoption fee is $350 and there may be a modest transport adjustment fee for "far north" transports.

Are you ready for a rescue Lab? You should only consider adopting a Lab if you can provide:
-Adequate food, water, indoor shelter
-Regular exercise and socialization
-Routine vet care for health including heartworm and flea/tick prevention
-Patient, consistent training and retraining, as needed
-Lots of affection! And a safe, loving environment.
