Over the years, the South of England have been fortunate in having several rescue groups operating in the area, but in 1996 the majority amalgamated together to form Labrador Rescue South East. We obtained Charity status and drew up guidelines drawn from our experiences, by which we would abide.

Since then we have grown enormously. We now have 7 Trustees and a management team of coordinators covering 7 areas, encompassing Birmingham, Leicestershire across to Lincolnshire as well as all the south eastern counties of England. As we covered such a large area it was decided to add Central to our name and so from early 2001, we became Labrador Rescue South East & Central (LRSEC).
 

In addition to the 7 area coordinators, we have nearly 100 helpers who selflessly give their time, very often at a moments notice, to visit prospective homes and dogs which require rehoming. Although it can be distressing, it is so satisfying to see a dog happily settled in a new home.

All the Team are volunteers and only receive payment for their expenses ie petrol, telephone postage etc. It is therefore essential that we fund rise to cover our expenses and the ever escalating veterinary and kennelling costs. If you can find out details of this years events with reports on our fund raising page.
