Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue (CCLRR) was "born" in July 1998 due to the great need to find loving homes for abused, abandoned or unwanted Labrador Retrievers in the Central Valley. We are an all-volunteer organization. Our dogs are in foster homes or with their current families; we do not have a central facility or shelter. We adopt to homes north to Redding and south to Fresno, and from the S.F. Bay Area south to Monterey County. We do NOT adopt to homes in Southern California or out of state with the exception of the Reno/Tahoe area. Please see our Resources page for other California Labrador Retriever rescues.

Fosters Needed

To Bring These Dogs Into Our Program

Foster or Foster-to-Adopt

Maple - Chocolate Female - 2 Years

Maple is about 2 years old and an absolute sweetheart. She loves toys, playing fetch, and spending time with people. She’s also good with other dogs and seems to be housebroken since she keeps her kennel clean, according to the shelter staff. Call or Text Cathy 925.303.0509

Foster or Foster-to-Adopt

Tinsel - Silver Female - 4 Years

Tinsel is a stunning 4-year-old silver female. She absolutely loves people and gets along well with other dogs. Tinsel is a bit of an escape artist and can jump fences, so she’ll need a home with a secure 8’-10’ fence to keep her safe. Call or Text Cathy 925.303.0509

Foster or Foster-to-Adopt

These pups are all at the Merced Shelter. We know the photos aren’t great but it’s what we have for now. Can you foster one of these pups so we can let the shelter know we will pull them? Even if you can only foster for a week or so, it saves their life! ❤️ Call or Text Cathy 925.303.0509

Foster or Foster-to-Adopt

Shar - Charcoal Female - 3 years

Shar is a found dog picked up by the shelter. She was either dumped or lost but owners haven’t come forward and she is not chipped. She rides well in a car and is housebroken. She will go to the door to be let out. Timid off leash, likes treats, good with finders female GSD’s. Shar may or may not be okay with cats. She was a little too interested in families cat and got swatted and so far has shown no interest in returning to the cat. Shar was okay meeting finders grandchild but was a little timid with loud noises and kiddo energy. It could just be that she is generally unsure what’s happening. No unfavorable behaviors seen at this time. We believe she is around 3-4 years old.❤️ Call or Text Cathy 925.303.0509

Adopt

"Buddy Dio" A0057206537
Male - 1.5 year old

Buddy aka "Dio" is a playful and high energy fellow who loves to accompany his people on walks. He knows sit, down, come, and heel. He can be vocal when excited and he loves to learn so he'll definitely keep you entertained! He never lived with dogs in his previous home, but he does have a history of playing with other dogs! He could potentially be selective so a slow introduction with yours would be in order. He doesn't have a history of living with cats. He may do well with a very slow introduction. He would do best in a home with teens and adults. If that sounds like your new best friend, please come visit him! His adoption fee has been sponsored by a loving fan! Buddy is available for adoption at the Sacramento SPCA and is in foster care. If interested in adopting, email DOGFOSTERRESCUE@SSPCA.ORG

Sydney

Sidney’s adopter, Melrina had this painted on her window. Always keeping Sidney in mind, the entry to the dog house is a window so Sidney can continue to see outside. You can just make her out if you zoom in!!! People walk by and visit Sidney not realizing Melrina is on the other side at her desk getting to enjoy their interaction 🎄☃️🐾

Rip

A huge thank you for all that you do to get amazing dogs aligned with their family. Rip has been with us now for 7 weeks and it feels like he has been with us forever. He and his older brother Max (also rescued through CCLRR 9 years ago) and his 2 cat siblings are all getting along great! We are so thankful for all of the time and efforts you put into the dogs and we could not be happier! Thank you! Jen and Tim 🐾
