Adopt a Labrador Retriever in Iowa

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.

Iowa's rescue dog community is concentrated around Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City. Many rescues work with rural shelters in surrounding states to transport dogs to higher-demand regions. A rescued Iowa dog often comes through an active regional network.
