Arizona Labrador & Giant Breed Rescue

About Our Rescue Group

We are an all volunteer, non profit organization that is dedicated to re-homing
Labradors, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Elkhounds,
Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Saint Bernards, Irish Wolfhounds
and Deer Hounds. Most of our volunteers have several dogs themselves.

Our rescues come from several sources. First and foremost being owner turn-
ins – these are dogs whose owners can no longer care for them. We take the
dog into our organization rather than having the dog turned over to the
Humane Society or Animal Care and Control. There is great value bringing
these dogs into our program. They are less likely to be exposed to disease or
suffer mental stress by moving from a home situation to a smaller program
such as ours. The transition for the dog to the new home is much easier.
Owner turn-ins also allow us to have a more complete history of the dog. We
participate in the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control New Hope Program.
The program allows us to intake dogs that are slated to be euthanized, often
for no other reason than a lack of space. In addition, we work with other
rescue groups who may not have room for a specific dog.

Once we intake a dog it usually will spend time in a foster home. Our foster
homes are all volunteers that care for their foster dogs as if they were their
own. This includes working on housebreaking, basic training, grooming and
medical care. All dogs available for adoption have had a basic veterinary
checkup, have current vaccinations and a micro chip.

ALGBR is dedicated to educating the public on the breeds we rescue. We
participate in both public and private events; educate school children and the
general public. We are a non-profit* organization that is run solely on
donations and all of our “employees” are unpaid volunteers. We do this
because we love these wonderful creatures and we want to place as many as
we can into their forever homes.

Saving one dog might not change the world. But, surely for that one dog the
world will change forever. We look forward to helping you change one dog’s
life.

A moment to rescue…. A lifetime of love

Our Adoption Process

First complete and submit an application. Once we have your application, you will be contacted by one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. The home visit allows us to get a better understanding of your family and your life style so you meet dogs that fit your family.

Upon approval, the home visit volunteer will assist you in meeting our dogs and the adoption process. The adoption fees are listed on the application. If you are interested in adopting, but don't see a particular dog you are interested in, send your application in anyway so when we do have the right dog, you are ready to meet them.

See adoption process page on our website for adoption application: http://www.azlabsandgiants.org/arizona_labrador_adoption.html

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
