Where is American Lab Rescue located?

American Lab Rescue, or ALR, is based out of Willington, Conn., about 25 miles northeast of Hartford. As of 2014, the organization does not have its own facility or local shelter. Instead, the organization relies on volunteers to foster animals until they are adopted into a "forever" home.

The ALR is an all-breed rescue group but specializes in Labrador and Labrador mixes. According to the ALR, fostered dogs are better able to show their true personality and receive the individualized attention that is key to obedience and training. While most dogs are fostered in the Northeast United States, the ALR has pets available for adoption throughout the country.
