We operate as a foster-based rescue organization, without a physical shelter facility, and without any government funding support. Our primary financial sustenance comes from generous donations and adoption fees, which cover our expenses for medical care, supplies, training, and staffing.
Dogs in need of foster care join us through two distinct avenues:
Shelter Rescues: The Labelle Foundation extends its support to animals rescued from various local shelters, including those in Los Angeles County, Kern County, Riverside County, and numerous others across California and Mexico. Our rescue initiative specializes in caring for medical dogs, pregnant mother dogs, and orphaned neonatal puppies. Our goal is to save as many lives as possible, and our foster program enables us to efficiently utilize our resources to achieve this mission.
Owner Surrenders: Sometimes, pet owners encounter challenging life circumstances that prevent them from providing their beloved animals with the quality of life they deserve. In such situations, they make the difficult choice to surrender their dogs to us, ensuring that these dogs never have to enter a shelter environment. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to find these dogs new, loving forever homes.
