The Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. maintains a special fund for the emergency care of Labs who are abandoned in multiple numbers, i.e. floods, tornadoes, death of owner or puppy mill shut down. This fund was established to pay for the immediate care of the animals such as vaccinations, health checks or short term boarding. It is available to any organized purebred Labrador Retriever Rescue Group that is recognized by the National Rescue Coordinator. Need funding? Submit the funding request form.

BE A HERO! A portion of the LRC Store proceeds go to the LRC’s National Rescue Fund.
