Join us for DLRR’s Paws and Paddles Tournament Fundraiser April 27th 2024!
When: 1pm to 4:00pm
Where: The Picklemall on the East side of AZ Mills Mall, I-10 and Hwy 60, off Baseline Road
Why: To raise money for Desert Lab Retriever Rescue (DLRR) to help find forever homes for rescued labs and fund their medical needs.
What: A fun Pickleball Doubles Tournament for both social/intermediate and advanced/competitive players, plus a Meet and Greet with dogs and their fosters to showcase some of the DLRR labs available for adoption! Teams can be two men, two women or one of each.
How: Entry fee for the tournament is a $60 donation to DLRR, a 501-3C organization.
If you are interested, please pay the entry fee at the DLRR website here. Then via this Picklemall link, you will enter your name, phone, email and sign a liability waiver to register for the tournament, advise what bracket you want to play in and your partners’ name. You are then all set! No cash or checks can be accepted the day of the event, unfortunately.
Note: you are still welcome to come watch the event and see the dogs at Picklemall that afternoon, even if you are not playing! We would love to tell you more about DLRR and interact with some of our amazing Labs. Hope to see you then!

You don’t want to miss this year’s Corks and Collars benefiting Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue and the hundreds of Labs our volunteers rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome. This annual silent auction and gala will be held at Hunkapi Farms. Upon entering, the venue quietly suggests for guests to take a breath and open their hearts. The name Hunkapi, means “we are all related,” and reminds us of our need for and reliance on one another and the responsibility of forwarding that feeling.
*Please note: We discourage adopters from bringing their current dog(s) to our meet and greets as these events can be stressful for our dogs. We prefer that your dog meets your potential new family member at your home or a mutually agreed-upon location with the foster. Thank you for your cooperation!
