About Us

For the Love of Labs is a 501(c)3 foster based dog rescue based in Enfield, CT. We are dedicated to the rescue of labs and lab mixes (though not exclusively) in danger of euthanasia. We believe every dog deserves a chance at life and through no fault of their own many of the dogs we rescue have ended up homeless or abandoned. Our dogs live in living foster homes until their perfect forever home is found.
