LRRoF is not located in one location, i.e. Altamonte Springs, Florida. Petfinder requires we list a single city location, which unfortunately is misleading to interested adopters because we are not a shelter that has a physical location. We are grateful to Petfinder for this service, but need to let you know that we are a state-wide rescue with foster homes all over Florida(Tampa, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, the Panhandle, etc). Please click on the dog's name and read the individual description on that Labrador to see where the dog is located in the state. Thank you. Come and see us in person! "Meet & Greets" are where our lab loving volunteers meet the public and hand out information about Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida (LRRoF). We often bring our Labradors in foster care there so the public can get an idea of what our Labs are all about. Check back to see which labs will be in attendance, the Friday before the event, as we update the list all the time. We do not adopt labs on the spot. Please join us - we would love to meet you! If you are interested in coming out to help at our Meet & Greet events, you can email LRRoF at (volunteer@labradorrescue.net) for more information. If you are interested in adopting one of our Labradors, first of all, thank you. Please visit our official website: www.labradorrescue.net to complete an adoption application. We will have one of our local volunteers contact you to schedule your home inspection and vet reference. PLEASE SCOLL DOWN FOR A MEET & GREET IN A CITY NEAR YOU | |
