Adopt a Labrador Retriever in Connecticut

Labrador Retrievers are friendly, outgoing, and high-energy dogs that make great family pets. They're one of the most popular breeds in rescue because of their prevalence — Labs are often surrendered due to their high exercise needs. A rescued Lab can be your most loyal companion with the right home.

Connecticut's rescue dog community runs largely on transport from Southern shelters, with most local shelters relatively low-volume. Networks in Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford bring in dogs that would otherwise be euthanized elsewhere. A rescued Connecticut dog has often traveled a long way to find a home.
