Victorian 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 Victoria.
- 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.
- 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 Melbourne).
- 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 Melbourne
Wondering why you never see Labrador Retrievers for adoption from Melbourne pounds and shelters? As Victoria’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. If you see a labrador in a Victoria pound or shelter, let us know. Our Melbourne Lab Assistants even travel across Victoria to collect dogs from pounds and shelters to find them new families.
Dog Rescue Across Regional Victoria
Our extensive network of foster carers extends across Victoria, but we always need new foster carers and volunteers in regional locations. Could you be that person? We need dog rescues performed in Warnambool, Swan Hill, Echuca, Shepparton, Wodonga, Balarat, Wangaratta, Bendigo, Moe, and Lakes Entrance. Could you become a foster carer or volunteer dog transporter in regional Victoria?
Rehome Your Dog in Melbourne and Across Victoria
Rehoming your dog is a tough decision. Know that by rehoming your Labrador through Labrador Rescue, you’re helping to minimise the stress on your dog and placing them in good hands. We’ll love your baby just like you do. We’ll ensure they spend the next chapter of their life in a perfect home. We offer two services for rehoming your dog. You can surrender your beloved pup to us and we’ll take care of everything – (don’t worry, we’ll make sure they have a happy ending to this story), or we can simply help your private rehoming ad reach the right audience. We also offer a bequest service, where we’ll commit to helping your labrador through the transition when you are no longer able to care for them upon passing or moving into residential care.
Find the Best Vets in Victoria
Because our partner vets see so many labradors, they’re experts in the illnesses and injuries these dogs suffer. So we thoroughly recommend our partner vets for loving, expert care for your labrador retriever.
