Every year, millions of dogs end up in shelters for various reasons, through no fault of their own. Adopting an older or abandoned dog can change lives—yours and theirs.

At this point LRCGB does not endorse any particular Labrador rescue organization. There are many resources available online to find and vet dog rescues in your area.

Razor (the name he came with) was adopted through Labrador Retriever Rescue after I lost my 15 year old yellow Labrador Spencer.  After that, I decided to adopt black Labs as black dogs are usually adopted last. Razor had come in to rescue due to a change in his family circumstances.  I adopted just after he turned 8.  If I had to describe him using “human” terms: I would say he was kind and easygoing. He was a big guy about 110 pounds (not heavy just big) but never even thought of using it to his advantage.  He loved everyone. As you can see he was so handsome and a had a “teddy bear” looking face. He insanely loved water in all forms: snow, rain, puddles, the ocean. He didn’t want to swim just lay down in it.  Razor luckily spent his summers on Cape Cod with his grandfather and a beach at the end of the street. Razor was obsessed with just going to the beach and lying in the water. We called it tubbing.
