Adopt a Labrador Retriever in Massachusetts

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.

Massachusetts has a highly active rescue dog community, with most local shelters running primarily on transport from Southern states. Boston, Worcester, and Springfield are major hubs. A rescued Massachusetts dog has usually traveled north through one of these well-established transport networks.
