    Starting a Labradoodle Rescue Group in California

  1. Step 1

    Talk to animal shelter officials to determine the need for a Labradoodle rescue group. You may find there are many abandoned Labradoodles. Representatives from animal shelters and humane societies will be able to tell you.

  2. Step 2

    Find people interested in volunteering their time and expertise to help you establish your rescue group. Volunteers will be crucial in such functions as fundraising, animal care, transporting the dogs and finding proper homes for them. Labradoodle breeders and veterinarians may be good sources of help..

  3. Step 3

    Contact the California secretary of state to begin the process of incorporating a nonprofit organization. You will have to request to reserve a corporate name for your nonprofit, fill out an organization form, mail in $40 in fees and wait at least six weeks to receive notice of incorporation.

  4. Step 4

    Locate a safe, clean legal space in which to house rescued Labradoodles awaiting adoption. Networking in animal aid circles will help you to establish contacts for a local kennel or breeders who may be willing to provide space for your Labradoodles at a reduced fee.

  5. Step 5

    Visit and call local animal shelters on a regular basis and continually distribute your contact information so that employees think of you and call or e-mail you when they encounter a homeless Labradoodle.
