LABRADOR RESCUE SOUTH AFRICA

Labrador Rescue South Africa (LRSA) is a registered NPC and PBO that operates on a nationwide basis dealing with the rescue and re-homing of Labrador Retrievers.

We have our Public Benefits Organisation (PBO) number, are tax exempt and are able to issue Section 18A tax receipts for donations received.

Although LRSA is a breed specific rescue, we re-home many Labrador cross breeds as well as their other breed family companions. LRSA acts as the facilitator between people looking to re-home their Labradors and people wanting to offer a home to a Labrador.

On average LRSA re-homes 10 to 15 dogs each week, or over 800 per year. This number is increasing as more dogs are looking for homes due to changes in family circumstances such as divorce, job loss, illness, retirement, emigration or economic restraints forcing people to down scale.

Often people do not research the breed before getting a puppy and then find they cannot cope with an untrained, boisterous, landscaping, chewing demolition machine. LRSA covers the sterilization, vaccinations (including Rabies) and in some cases the micro-chipping of each animal we re-home and rely on donations from both the old and new owners to cover these costs.
