What Labradors are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Labrador the "most popular of all pedigree breeds", and says that popularity comes from its "versatility as family companion, service dog, guide dog as well as a working gundog". It says the breed's roots are in Newfoundland, where dogs helped fishermen retrieve nets and lines; dogs brought back to England had their retrieving skills recognised by the sporting gentry, and the first breed club was founded in 1916.

Today the Labradors on this page are with Doggy Dens UK Rescue (4), Chesterfield Animal Rescue (2), Good Life Dog Rescue (2), Jerry Green Dog Rescue (1), RAIN Rescue (1) and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
How much exercise does a Labrador need?
More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It lists the breed as suited to a large house with a large garden. Dogs Trust calls Labradors typically high-energy. Ask the rescue how much this dog needs, as age and health make a difference.
Do Labradors shed?
Yes. The Royal Kennel Club lists the Labrador as a breed that sheds, with a short coat that needs grooming about once a week, and Dogs Trust rates its shedding as heavy.
Are Labradors good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 7 of the 11 Labradors listed in and around Doncaster as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
How much does it cost to adopt a Labrador in Doncaster?
The Labradors listed in and around Doncaster today are with Doggy Dens UK Rescue at Cuckney, about 20 miles away (4), Chesterfield Animal Rescue at Dronfield, about 21 miles away (2), Good Life Dog Rescue at Garforth, about 21 miles away (2) and 3 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
Are there Labrador puppies for sale in Doncaster?
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Labrador on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 11 Labradors listed in and around Doncaster today are with Doggy Dens UK Rescue at Cuckney, about 20 miles away (4), Chesterfield Animal Rescue at Dronfield, about 21 miles away (2), Good Life Dog Rescue at Garforth, about 21 miles away (2) and 3 other rescues, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "labrador puppies for sale Doncaster", the Labradors here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Can I get a free Labrador to a good home in Doncaster, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 11 Labradors listed in and around Doncaster today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is RAIN Rescue at Misson, about 9 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
