"I can see the behaviors Sarah covered daily in our ward at the veterinary clinic. This would be an invaluable presentation for the veterinary students and I would like to see this be a required seminar for veterinary students and technicians also. How great to have a resource as knowledgeable as Sarah in our own back yard!"

This website, above all, is meant as a tribute to the dogs that have become a part of us through our work, and to the many volunteers who give a second chance to these beautiful animals.
GRRoW is the oldest statewide, all volunteer, non-profit rescue dedicated to helping unwanted, abandoned or surrendered Goldens find forever homes. Since May of 2000, GRRoW has rescued more than 1,750 Goldens.

GRRoW's Mission Statement |
To encourage and promote responsible dog ownership and to reduce the abuse and neglect of all Golden Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption.
To do all in our power to assure the humane treatment of Golden Retrievers and to accept unwanted Golden Retrievers, care for them medically, spay/neuter and rehabilitate them and place them in caring homes.
To educate the public in responsible dog ownership to include proper health, spay/neutering, nutrition, training and good canine citizenship.
To discourage unwanted or careless breeding practices and promote humane care for all dogs.
A GRRoW volunteer will meet with you in your home, to help you find the most suitable rescue Golden for your family. For more information, please read our Adoption FAQ..
You may see certain kennels claiming to be placing "rescued" dogs. Please note that GRRoW does not place dogs "for sale" or "for adoption" with any kennels. We will also never place adult dogs who have not been spayed or neutered. This is also true for any legitimate rescue organization. Always approach a kennel advertising "rescue" dogs with extreme caution.
If you are looking to surrender a Golden, contact GRRoW's Surrender Hotline at 1-888-655-4753. Once passing a temperament assessment, surrendered Goldens will be fostered in the home of a qualified GRRoW volunteer. When the foster home is ready, they will start looking for the Golden's new permanent home. Click here for more information on surrendering your golden and to complete a pre-surrdender form.
GRRoW welcomes you to read the success stories from some of our adoptive homes. If you adopted a Golden from GRRoW, we encourage you to share your story.
There are a number of Volunteer Opportunities in which you can become involved.
