Adopt a Labrador Retriever in Virginia

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.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
