you may download if from the Adobe Systems web site. 
**NOTE**
YOU CANNOT SEND IN YOUR APPLICATION BY E-MAIL IT MUST BE SENT ALONG WITH THE ADOPTION FEE BY US MAIL. If you send your application by e-mail it will simply be deleted. Our coordinator simply does not have the time to respond to these e-mails individually.
Once you have printed the application, fill it out completely and send it and the necessary fee to:
C.C.L.R.R.
PO Box 221094

Please send your application by FIRST CLASS MAIL. Please DO NOT send it by Express Mail. Sending by Express Mail may result in up to a one week delay in the RECEIPT of your paperwork. Your adoption application will be processed within 6 days of receipt. Remember: the mail may take 3 days, and if you mail on a Thursday or Friday, it will probably not reach us until Monday.
If there is a CCLRR, Inc. representative near you, you may give the application directly to that person, or bring it to one of our events at Folsom, Stockton or Davis. Once we receive and approve your application, a receipt with your adoption number on it will be sent to you. When you receive this receipt, you will be eligible to adopt from us. Please take your receipt with you when you go to adopt. We will be refund your adoption fee if you adopt from another Rescue or a Shelter within 2 weeks, after that, your adoption fee becomes a donation to Lab Rescue. If you sign up and simply change your mind about adopting, we do not refund.
If you find a dog on our web site that you want to adopt, you still must fill out an Adoption Applcation and pay the necessary fee before you can go and see the dog.

ADULT DOG, 5 months through 8 years old $225.00

All the Labs in our program receive a veterinary examination, full inoculations, a heartworm test and heartworm preventive and are spayed or neutered.
We will send you our most current list of Labs available and send you updates as new Labs come into the program.
The list, with the contact numbers for each dog, goes out on THURSDAY MORNING to those who have completed the adoption application process and received their adoption number. The Web page is not updated until later Thuirsday or Friday, so those on our "approved adoptor" list have first access to new dogs. Please remember: this list is more current than the Web page. When you receive your list you may call the owner/foster of the dog, make an appointment and go with your family, and your dog if you have one, to meet the Rescue Lab. If on your meeting the Lab looks like a match, you may take the Lab for a two-week trial period. If, after this period it is working, you have adopted a Lab. If it is not working, you can bring the Lab back and try again.
All our Labs come with inoculations current, heartworm negative and spayed or neutered. No Lab will be given to its new family until it has been spayed/neutered. THIS IS CALIFORNIA LAW.
- Please do not hand deliver items to the address of our adoption coordinator.
- Dogs currently listed on the website may have been adopted by the time your application is received. Some dogs are adopted quickly, and our already approved adopters have priority.
- Applications received by Tuesday are approved by Wednesday for the Thursday list mailing.
- Please understand you are applying to adopt a Lab, not a specific Lab already on our list. There are approved adopters on our list and they have first call on any Lab we have. If you see a Lab on our web page and are applying to adopt only that Lab you may well be disappointed, but remember, our supply is endless and the right Lab will come along.
