Saving Labradors - One Life at a time!
Welcome to 3rd Coast Labrador Retriever Rescue! We are a non-profit fully volunteer rescue dedicated to rehoming labradors and labrador mixed breeds in Michigan. Rescued dogs and puppies enjoy their stay in loving foster homes while getting properly vetted, assessed behaviorally, and socialized for successful adoptions.
We are here to help you too…
Owner Surrenders of Labrador Retrievers — To complete the owner surrender form, you will need good-quality photos and your veterinary records/dates. We do not have the expertise to accept dogs with a bite history. Please click HERE to complete the owner surrender form.
Shelter Transfers - we are on limited intake. Please thoroughly test any potential transfers for interactions with dogs and cats, aggression, and any potential veterinary care needed prior to complete the intake form below.
We are thankful for your help! Check out all the ways we need you!
Fundraising Campaigns
Our adoption fees do not cover our expenses; in fact, veterinary costs are almost solely covered by donations. We opt to raise money in a variety of ways. Click HERE to see the ways that you can help without spending a dime!

Dogs up for adoption & in our care
We have an outstanding problem! Our dogs are adopted so quickly that we just don’t have enough time to put them on our website! Check out our page on Petfinders to see any dogs we do not have adopters for.
Wall of Honor
As our furry family members cross the rainbow bridge, we offer this space to honor those dogs that will never be forgotten.

“After losing my husband, I was faced with the horrible realization that I could not take care of our two beautiful labs. Like angels sent from God, 3rd Coast reached out to me. After one conversation, I knew that my babies would be well cared for and loved… thank you for not only finding them a home but for lovingly helping me get through one of the most difficult times in my life.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
