Apply online by answering some basic questions about your home/family, personal and veterinary references and one of our lovely Adoption Coordinators will be in touch.​​

Important Adoption Information:

​

All adopters must complete an adoption application in order to be considered for approval.

There is a one-time, non-refundable application donation fee of $25.00. Applications cannot be processed or reviewed until the application donation has been submitted. If you do not get the lab you applied for, it is usually because of the dog’s specific needs and history.  You can submit other dogs of interest to your application moving forward by emailing us at nelrdogs@gmail.com

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescued dog through New England Lab Rescue.
