West Coast Labrador Retriever Rescue

Obtaining more volunteers, we need fosters specifically, without fosters we can not save dogs.
We also are looking into ways to reach potential adopters. via social media outlets, advertising, and word of mouth.
Fundraising is always something to work on. Without donations we can not safe dogs.

We are posting requests on our social media pages for volunteers.
We are also looking into getting our website more exposure by doing an SEO.

We have grown so fast that we have complete faith that we will obtain these goals. We are gaining followers each and every day. We are using social media and website SEO to its fullest ability. We have a dedicated Board of Directors that spend endless time on improving our rescue.

This rescue started with a conversation between 3 individuals who all had come from volunteering with another rescue. Each of us left that rescue with questions on how it was being run, where the donations were really going to and the integrity of the board. When we started WCLRR we were dedicated to being transparent 100%. This goes with all of the Board Members, Volunteers, Veterinarians, Donors and Adopters. We are focused on saving dogs, our moto is "We're All About the Dogs" We live and breath this. We all feel that our rescue is a success in the short amount of time we have been in existence and are looking toward the future.

WCLRR was founded in June of 2019 and is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer non-profit with the expressed task of rescuing Labrador and Golden Retrievers in the Southern California area. We save our dogs from various sources such as local animal shelters, owner surrenders, and in cooperation with local breeders. We are breed-specific, but we'll periodically do a "courtesy post" for other breeds in need of rescue that come to us from individuals or other rescue groups. WCLRR’s dogs have been featured on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family Show” several times. We believe all of us can work together toward a common goal; saving the lives of dogs.

While we are a young organization, our volunteers and staff spent many years helping other rescues. Our first dog was named "Freedom" because her rescue was on July 4th, and symbolic as she came from a shelter. To date, WCLRR has rehomed over 40 dogs, from puppies to seniors include hospice. Our team of volunteers do everything from searching the local shelters on a daily basis, to transporting our dogs to and from veterinarian appointments or foster families, to taking these dogs into their homes to be evaluated. For many of the dogs, our volunteers are the first friendly face or act of love they've experienced. We make sure we aren't the last.

The adoption program is comprehensive and includes at-home interviews, veterinarian visits, spay and neuter, all shots, fecal exams, and on our older dog's, blood work. We've partnered with a professional trainer to help us evaluate or smooth some of the rough edges off. Our goal is to make adoption from WCLRR a pleasant and reward experience for everyone involved. Our slogan says it best, "We're All About the Dogs."
