**THIS VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY IS AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA; IT IS NOT LIMITED TO A PARTICULAR ZIPCODE.
Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida Inc. (LRROF) houses our rescued Labs temporarily with volunteer "foster parents" while we work to find them permanent adoptive homes. Foster parents care for a Lab in their own home, keep veterinary appointments (*LRROF pays all vet fees*), teach basic leash training, socialization, etc., according to the particular dog's needs, and meet with approved prospective adopters (they come to you). Foster parents can specify characteristics of dogs they are willing to foster. They also have final adoption approval for their foster dog.
Foster parents play one of the most significant roles in LRROF's rescue efforts: availability of foster homes limits the number of dogs that we can rescue. Sometimes, Labs must be placed on a waiting list until a foster home is available. Unfortunately, some dogs have a limited amount of time before a shelter or animal control will have to put them down.

Mission Statement
Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida, Inc. (LRROF) is a non-profit, 100% volunteer-run organization dedicated to placing rescued Labrador Retrievers in loving, permanent homes.
Description
Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida, Inc. (LRROF) is comprised of hardworking volunteers and vetrinarian partners who are committed to placing Labs in new homes. Lab Rescue started in 2000 as a grassroots organization and has pioneered the talents and techniques of its volunteer base to become one of the most successful dedicated breed rescues in the State of Florida.
LRROF provides foster care, veterinary care, spaying/neutering and microchips for the Labradors in our adoption program. We operate within 12 unique areas, known as Districts, throughout Florida. Each district is managed by an Area/District Coordinator who oversees the volunteers and animals in that area. The District Coordinators report to the Board of Directors who manage, plan and facilitate the organization overall.
Our primary goal is to place our Labradors in appropriate, permanent homes. Prior to an adoption, we consider the history, temperament, personality and energy level of the rescued Labrador. The placement process includes a written application and a visit to the home of the potential adopter.
LRROF is committed to making a lifelong match for all of our rescued Labradors.
