GOLDEN GATE LABRADOR RETREIVER RESCUE, Inc. Mission and Activities of GGLRR 1. Encourage and promote responsible dog ownership and reduce the abuse and neglect of unwanted Labrador Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption. 2. Promote the humane treatment of Labrador Retrievers and accept for placement unwanted Labrador Retrievers, care for them medically, spay/neuter them and place them in caring homes. 3. Provide educational services to interested public regarding responsible breeding and ownership of Labrador Retrievers. 4. Educate dog owners about training, spay/neuter and the humane care for their dogs and promote good canine citizenship. Essentially GGLRR facilitated the placement of unwanted Labrador Retriever dogs into new homes. We are sought out by concerned individuals and humane organizations that come in contact with Labrador Retrievers and we work to place dogs in new homes. We have a spay/neuter requirement for all dogs that we place. If the dog has been abused or needs medical attention, we provide emotional and medical rehabilitation. Individuals who desire to adopt Labrador Retrievers who might otherwise be abandoned or euthanized by their previous owners. Through education (booths at dog shows, newsletters, internet information pages, etc.) we seek to reduce the unwanted dog population and increase responsible pet ownership. How Labrador Rescue and Placement Services Work What is Lab Rescue? The Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc. (GGLRR) provides assistance in placing Labradors directly from the current owner to a new owner without the dog having to go into a shelter. Our program doesn’t eliminate shelters, but we attempt to keep as many Labradors in the home environment as possible. Our program is run completely by volunteers. No one within our organization is paid for their time and/or services. The money we receive goes exclusively to our dogs that we rescue. The only exception would be the small amount we spend on our newsletter that we send to our supporters.
