Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno

Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno (LRRF) is a no kill non-profit 501(c)3, that is 100% foster based (we do not have a facility).

We rescue abandoned, homeless and neglected Labradors from all over central California and beyond. We wish to end suffering and promote the welfare of labs and lab mixes through direct action and education. We provide each dog with a stable environment, love, companionship, food and veterinary care until a qualified, loving forever home is found. Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno believes that all companion animals should be treated with dignity, compassion and kindness.

Okay, we're breaking our own rule and showing you a little something early!

We don't normally post anything about our puppies until they are almost ready for adoption, but here we are!

This year has been BRUTAL. So many dogs and puppies needing help, and somehow the little ones just keep coming.

We welcomed 5 little nuggets, and 5 more little sausages are arriving tomorrow! That's a whole lot of puppy bellies to fill!

And guess what? We have officially exhausted our puppy food supply!

We're putting out a plea to our wonderful supporters. We desperately need PUPPY FOOD AND ADULT DOG FOOD to replenish our pantry. With so many dogs in foster care, keeping everyone fed is a never-ending job.

If you can spare a bag (or two!), any donation would be greatly appreciated.

These little guys have a lot of growing, eating, playing and getting ready for their big introductions ahead of them. And the big dogs need dinner, too!

Can you help us keep all those tails wagging and bellies full?

Thank you for always showing up for our dogs. We couldn't do this without you!

Big Mack – Black English Male, Approx. 10 Years Old, 80 lbs.

Big Mack is the epitome of the English Labrador Retriever, and according to his foster, the epitome of perfection!

This big, lovable boy gets along with everyone and everything. He loves his food, loves to snooze, loves his walkies, and most of all, loves being near his people. Honestly, what more could a Lab ask for?

His foster says she wishes she could have known him in his younger days, which tells you just how special this boy is.

Mack is one of the 11 neglected dogs Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno took in from a hoarding situation involving approximately 50 dogs. The lack of care was immediately evident, but Mack has come a long way since arriving in rescue. Today, he is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped. His horribly infected ears have healed. He also had several badly damaged teeth removed, and what a difference that made! Now he can eat and chew like a champ. Did someone say FOOD? Yep, Mack is a Lab through and through!

Mack is house-trained and crate-trained, although a crate isn't necessary. He enjoys the freedom to move about the house, whether it's daytime or bedtime. He does have some arthritis, common in older dogs, and receives pain management to help keep him comfortable.

Those wild puppy days are long behind him, and Mack is perfectly content with the simple pleasures in life. His favorite things, in no particular order, are:

1. Eating. (This one is non-negotiable!)
2. Snoozing.
3. Rolling around on his bed and making little happy woofs after a meal.
4. Taking short, leisurely walkies.
5. Being close to his favorite people.
6. Getting brushed and enjoying a little extra pampering.

Mack is a gentle, easygoing soul who doesn't ask for much. He isn't looking for adventure, marathons, or a busy household full of commotion. What he wants is a comfortable home, a soft place to snooze, a few strolls, good meals, and someone who will love him just as he is.

After everything this sweet boy has been through, he deserves to spend his golden years knowing what it means to be cherished. He has so much love left to give, and all he needs is someone willing to give him that same unconditional love in return.

Could you be the person who gives Big Mack his happily ever after? A slower-paced home and a loving heart are all this handsome senior is asking for. In exchange, you'll get a loyal companion, a gentle presence by your side, and a whole lot of happy little post-meal woofs.

Big Mack's golden years should be filled with love, comfort, and the security of knowing he is finally home. If you’d like to know more about Big Mack, please fill out an adoption application at www.labrescuefresno.org

Peanut – Black Female Lab Mix, 12 Weeks Old, 20 lbs. (on site soon)

Meet Peanut – A Little Labby Girl with a Whole Lot of Love!

Peanut is a beautiful black Lab mix who is smart, sweet, playful, and full of that classic Lab personality! At 12 weeks old, she is already showing what a wonderful companion she will be.

Peanut loves everyone, young and old, and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and even goats of all sizes. She plays with the cats in her foster home and even snuggles with them. She adores her foster family's dogs and would do well in a home with other friendly pets or an active family with children.

This girl is one smart cookie! She sits for her meals and treats, listens well, and is eager to please. She is very food motivated, which should make training a breeze. Peanut is crate trained, goes into her crate willingly, and sleeps through the night.

She is working on potty training and does very well when taken outside frequently. She is learning to respond to her foster family's “potty, potty, potty” cue and heads right to her potty spot. She is also learning leash skills and doing well on walks. Her recall is impressive for such a young puppy, and she stays close to her foster family on their property.

Fetch, squeaky toys, big stuffed animals, and water are some of Peanut's favorite things. She is an active, curious pup who doesn't want to miss a thing! When playtime is over, though, she loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with her people for a relaxing movie night.

Peanut is growing into a wonderful young girl with all the makings of a fantastic companion. She will need continued training, socialization, and patience as she grows, but her intelligence and eagerness to please make her a delightful puppy to raise.

Could Peanut be the missing piece of your family? If you are ready for puppy kisses, outdoor adventures, playful antics, and plenty of snuggles, this sweet girl is waiting to meet you! Apply at www.labrescuefresno.org

Cameo – Yellow English Female, 10ish years, 62 lbs.

Meet Cameo – A Sweet Senior Lady Looking for Her Forever Home

Cameo is one of the 11 dogs Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno welcomed from a difficult hoarding situation. She has had her veterinary checkup and received care for an ear infection and dry eyes. She is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, and she’s ready to begin a new chapter surrounded by love and comfort.

Cameo is about as easy going as they come! On a scale of 1 to 10 for craziness, she’s a 2. Her favorite activities include sleeping, enjoying a good back rub in the grass, and soaking up a little attention. She’s potty trained and has settled nicely into her foster home’s routine, especially when it comes to mealtime!

Her foster mom was pleasantly surprised when Cameo figured out how to use the potty bells to let her know she needed to go outside. What a smart girl!

Cameo also enjoys getting attention from people at the Clovis Farmers Market and calmly ignores the other dogs walking by. She’s a laid-back companion who doesn’t ask for much beyond a comfortable place to rest, some gentle affection, and someone to love.

After everything she has been through, Cameo deserves to spend her golden years knowing what it means to be cherished. If you have a soft spot for a sweet senior lady, Cameo might just be your perfect match.

Apply to adopt Cameo at labrescuefresno.org.

Her foster mom would love to tell you more about this special girl!

Harley – Yellow Male X, 3.5 Years Old, 102 lbs.

💛 HARLEY: 102 POUNDS OF LOVE IN A YELLOW LAB SUIT!

Meet Harley, an approximately 3½-year-old Yellow Lab mix who proves that the biggest packages really can hold the biggest hearts!

At a whopping 102 pounds, Harley is less of a lap dog and more of a lap dog with a weight-limit warning!

Harley came to us from a local animal shelter, so his past is a bit of a mystery. But one thing is becoming crystal clear: this boy is all about LOVE!

His foster family describes him as a big, gentle sweetheart who simply wants to be your best friend. He walks beautifully on a leash, is crate trained, and enjoys people of all ages, including the little ones. He has been around children as young as one year old and takes it all in stride. Wildlife doesn't seem to bother him, and he gets along with other dogs, too. Cats are an unknown.

Here's another little mystery about Harley: so far, we haven't heard him bark! Maybe he's saving his voice for something really important, like announcing that dinner is ready.

Harley is neutered, microchipped, well-mannered, and eager to please. He doesn't need a fancy lifestyle or a calendar full of adventures. He just wants a family to love, a comfy place to relax, and a home where he belongs.

He could be a wonderful companion for an active individual or a family ready to welcome a whole lot of dog into their lives. With a big boy like Harley, you'll need a little extra room to stretch out, some couch space to share, and absolutely no expectation of maintaining a personal bubble!

Could Harley be your missing piece?

This oversized sweetheart has 102 pounds of love to give and is ready to find the people who will cherish him for the wonderful dog he is.

Adopt Harley. Because sometimes the biggest dogs have the gentlest hearts. 💛

Saylor – Black Female, 9 years young, 72 lbs.

MEET SAYLOR! After nine years, she's finally learning how to be a puppy!

Saylor came to us from a hoarding case involving 50 dogs. For nine years, she lived without many of the simple pleasures every dog deserves. She had never even known what a toy was.
Now, she's discovering just how much fun life can be!

This beautiful English Labrador proudly carries her toys around like a puppy, and watching her discover these simple joys will melt your heart.

A little about our sweet Saylor:

• Loves food and absolutely loves baths!
• Loves people and other dogs.
• Carries her toys everywhere and is enjoying her new favorite hobby.
• Deserves daily brushing, lots of compliments, and someone to remind her how pretty she is. Her foster mom insists this is a non-negotiable adoption requirement!

Saylor has some age-related challenges with her elbows, which are managed with daily medication to help keep her comfortable. She has also had most of her teeth removed, but that certainly hasn't dampened her enthusiasm for treats! She does wonderfully with a combination of soft and dry food.

Saylor is one of the sweetest, gentlest souls you'll ever meet. She isn't looking for big adventures or a busy lifestyle. She wants a comfortable couch, a gentle brush, a loving home, and someone who will cherish her through her golden years.

After everything she's been through, isn't it time Saylor had a family of her own?

Can you give this beautiful girl the happily ever after she deserves?
Apply to adopt Saylor at www.labrescuefresno.org.

Please share her story and help us find Saylor the loving home she's waited nine years to know.
