What Labrador Friends of The South Inc does
Mission
Labrador Friends of the South (LFS) an incorporated, non-profit organization, is dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless Labrador Retrievers. We also promote the educational aspects of rescue within our communities as it relates to the ethical treatment of dogs and the importance of spaying/neutering to reduce the numbers of unwanted animals. Based in Metro Atlanta, we are active in the entire Southeastern region including Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and the Carolinas.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Labrador friends rescued 95 dogs during 2023 and placed 59 in permanent homes. Each rescued dog received vetrinary care, temperment testing and a microchip was installed prior to placement. Additionally, the organization published a monthly newsletter containing valuable educational materials relating the care and nuture of labrador retrievers.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $16k to $16k (+3%).

98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Labrador Friends of The South Inc.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $106k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
