South Australian Lab(rador) Assistants Needed

Our team of volunteers – also known as our Lab Assistants – care for around 60 Labradors in crisis every year. Each Lab Assistant provides as much help as they can manage. We’re currently looking for more volunteers to help keep Labrador Rescue the gold standard in dog rescue organisations in South Australia.

  • Assistant to State Co-ordinator – provide telephone and online administrative support to owners and adopters.  
  • Foster Carers – provide a temporary home to a rescue dog in crisis.  Take them to vet appointments, provide food, shelter and plenty of cuddles. Assist in finding them the perfect forever home. We always need foster carers across South Australia, especially in the regions.
  • Transporters – Collect a rescue dog from a rehoming family, regional pound or shelter and drive them to the nearest capital city (or if you’re feeling especially adventurous, transport the rescue dog to Adelaide).
  • Fundraisers and Promotions – Host a workplace morning tea, host an in-store fundraiser at your local pet shop, provide social media promotion, or set up a bequest to Labrador Rescue.
  • Sponsors – Provide much-needed products and services to Labrador Rescue – from quality food to discounted veterinarian services, our sponsors help us prepare our beautiful rescue dogs for adoption.

Dog Rescue Adelaide

Wondering why you never see Labrador Retrievers for adoption from Brisbane pounds and shelters?  As Queensland’s most established and trusted Labrador rehoming organisation, we work with pounds, shelters and city councils to ensure that Labradors are rescued from shelters and placed with the ideal home. Our Brisbane and Gold Coast Lab Assistants even travel across Queensland to collect dogs from pounds and shelters to find them new families.

Dog Rescue Across South Australia

Our extensive network of foster carers covers all of South Australia, but we always need new foster carers in regional locations. Could you be that person? We need dog rescues performed in Yatala, Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Flinders Ranges, Coober Pedy, and Bridsville.  Could you become a foster carer or volunteer dog transporter in regional South Australia?
