Adopt a Labrador Retriever in New Mexico

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.

New Mexico has a large rescue dog population, with active organizations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. Rural and border-region shelters add significantly to the population. A rescued New Mexico dog often comes from a high-need shelter in a state with limited rural infrastructure.
