Safe Harbor has been in continuous operation since its founding in 2002.  We are an all-volunteer organization with our work done by teams of volunteers dedicated to Lab Intake, Medical Care, Foster Care, Transportation, Adoption, Website Management and Social Media presence. Safe Harbor holds a current Pet Animal Care Facilities (PACFA) License issued by the State of Colorado.

Our Mission

To rescue, provide a high level of compassionate care, and successfully rehome stray, abandoned or surrendered Labrador Retrievers giving priority to those in Colorado.

Our Vision

Every adoptable Lab will have a good quality of life in a loving home.

Our Values

Sustainability: Founded in 2002, we follow good business practices to maintain our work into the future.

Commitment: Once a SHLR Lab, we are always there for them.

Gratitude: We are grateful to our donors, supporters, adopters, volunteers, and partners
