Surrender Your Lab - Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno

The most common reasons for surrendering a pet are behavioral issues, financial constraints, housing issues and changes in lifestyle. Our goal is to help owners keep their beloved pet if possible. Our volunteers have experience in providing pet owners with information to help overcome some of these issues. If keeping your pet is desired, please email Muttlovedogs@gmail.com for help and information.

The rescue may charge a discretionary fee for surrenders, based on certain conditions. A hardship waiver may also be granted by LRRF.

In order to surrender your Labrador you must fill out the Labrador Needing Placement Application below for review. Once the application has been submitted, the Coordinator will contact you for the next step.
