Why Labs and More
Since 2011, Labs and More has been a lifeline for dogs in need, rescuing over 15,000 dogs from shelters and uncertain futures. With over 150 dogs and puppies currently in our care, we are dedicated to finding loving homes for every single one. By providing medical attention, rehabilitation, and a network of compassionate fosters, we’re not just saving lives, we’re building brighter futures for dogs and families across San Diego.
Who We Are
We are just like you, someone who cares enough to make a difference by getting involved. We are a grassroots, non-profit, 100% volunteer run organization that operates on the strength of our dedicated volunteers that have an overwhelming sense of compassion and love for our canine companions. Through our active network of dedicated volunteers and fosters, we are able to make a real difference in the lives of thousands of dogs from shelters in San Diego County and across Southern California.
Why We Exist
At Labs and More we provide a safe haven and necessary care for adoptable dogs and puppies who would otherwise die in shelters or on the streets. We aim to educate the public on the responsibilities of owning a dog and the care required to ensure their healthy and fulfilling lives. Additionally, we strive to give mistreated and neglected animals a second chance to experience human kindness. Our goal is to unite families with dogs, creating a lifelong journey of love and respect.
What Keeps us Going
We want to bring brighter futures to animals left without hope. There are far too many labradors and retrievers, mixed and pure breeds, young and old; and, as we can, other breeds of dogs left behind to die that we rescue. We work to give them hope and a chance at life. We provide a safe foster home, soft bed, comfort and medical care, plus lots of love. We work to rehabilitate those we can, giving them a new chance at life
Our Values
We believe every dog deserves kindness, care, and a second chance at life. Our actions are driven by an unwavering commitment to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need.
Together, we’re stronger. By partnering with local fosters, volunteers, and supporters, we create a network that saves lives and builds brighter futures for San Diego’s dogs and families.
Our mission doesn’t stop when the day ends. From rescuing abandoned dogs to providing medical care and rehabilitation, we go the extra mile to give every dog the chance to thrive.
We aim to inspire responsible pet ownership through education and outreach. By teaching the community about dog care and commitment, we help ensure happy, healthy lives for pets and their families.
We treat every dog, regardless of age, breed, or condition, with dignity and compassion. From street rescues to senior care, every life we touch is valued and respected.
We bring hope to dogs who’ve been abandoned, mistreated, or neglected, offering them safety, love, and a path to recovery. Every wagging tail is a testament to the power of healing and human kindness.

Every dog deserves a loving home, and you can help make that happen. Whether you’re ready to adopt, donate, or volunteer, your support saves lives and spreads hope. Together, we can create brighter futures for San Diego’s dogs in need.
