Adopting Max from Labs and More was the best decision we’ve ever made. From the moment we brought him home, he’s filled our lives with so much joy and laughter. The team was so helpful in matching us with the perfect dog for our family. We couldn’t be happier!

We weren’t sure if we were ready for a dog, but after meeting Buddy through Labs and More, it felt like fate. He’s brought so much love and energy into our home. Knowing we gave him a second chance makes it even more special. Thank you for all you do!

Fund a need

Five puppies rescued from the fires but need your help today!

🚨URGENT🚨
Surviving the LA Fires… But Lost Along the Way
Five precious Labrador puppies—just 5 weeks old—escaped the devastating LA fires. A person from San Diego drove to pick them up, promising to foster them and help find loving homes. But within days, they gave up.
Instead of reaching out for help, the puppies were passed off to someone in Calexico. What was meant to be a safe place became silent suffering.
We received an urgent plea from a trusted friend who saw these pups firsthand. She found them living in filth, thin and frail, with barely any food or water. The smallest pup isn’t using her front leg—and appears to be broken. Unable to fight for food she is at most risk.
These babies have lost:
💔 Their home
💔 Their mama
💔 Their family
Now, they’re on the brink of losing their chance at life.
Today we can make a profound change.
We are ready to rescue them—but with recent unexpected medical rescues we are financially stretched to our limit. If we rescue them we need to be able to give them the care they need.
These puppies will require immediate veterinary care, nurturing, and time to heal—inside and out.
Can we raise at least half of the $10,000 needed for their care by Tuesday evening?
Our Volunteers are ready to make the life saving drive to bring them home.
These pups made it through the flames. Let’s not let their flame go out.

Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday

Add Labs and More to your giving list

Giving Tuesday is Coming — or You Can Give Today!

We’re ready when you are!  Each day at our Rescue & Care Ranch, more than 50 dogs begin to heal — learning what it means to be cared for, to be safe, and to simply be dogs again.

Many come not knowing love or even the basics of care — vaccinations, flea treatments, or baths — and some don’t even know what it means to wear a collar or a leash. Your gift helps them heal, trust, and move closer to the homes they’ve always deserved.

Huge Milestone! 16,000 Dogs Saved

As we close out 2025, we’re celebrating a huge milestone — 16,000 dogs saved.🐾🎉
 
Since 2011, Labs and More has been a lifeline for dogs in need, rescuing dogs from shelters and uncertain futures. This year’s milestone is more than a number. It represents hope restored, second chances given, and thousands of families made whole.
 
With over 250 dogs and puppies currently in our care, our mission remains unwavering: to provide medical attention, rehabilitation, and the support of compassionate fosters so every dog has the chance at a brighter future.
 
At our adoption events, every ring of the bell marks another life saved, another new beginning, another joyful chapter, another heart healed. 🔔♥️
 
We are a grassroots, 100% volunteer-run organization powered by people just like you, people who care enough to make a difference. Thank you for standing beside us, lifting up these dogs, and helping us build brighter futures across San Diego and Southern California.
 
Here’s to gratitude for every life saved this year and to the many more we will save together in the years ahead.
