A 501c(3) non-profit Golden Retriever Rescue, serving Ohio, Michigan & Indiana, where we can do a home visit by a trusted volunteer. We love and help golden retriever dogs in need. Animal rescue can take many forms. Whether an individual is trying to make a difference by saving one dog, to a group of people working together for the common goal of saving many animals. Golden Retriever Rescue Resource concentrates on golden retrievers. As a group, we are passionately devoted to the golden retriever breed. All across America, local golden retriever organizations are working to save goldens that show up wandering the streets or in shelters. Our local group primarily concentrates on rescuing golden retrievers from the northwest Ohio area. In addition, we also cover the eastern Indiana and southern Michigan areas. We are comprised solely of volunteers and desperately need help in the form of volunteers, foster homes and your kind donations. We are self-supporting, relying on fund raising and donations to support all rescue efforts, including normal and extraordinary medical veterinary care. Golden Retriever Rescue Resource, GRRR was founded and incorporated in the state of Ohio in 2003 and granted the official 501c(3) status at that time. Our rescue was founded by Cindy Laws, who was bound by a deep love and admiration for the golden retriever breed. This was also in response to a large number of homeless and abandoned golden retriever dogs in the area.
You will fill out an adoption application for your first part of the screening process. If you've had dogs in the past, we will contact your veterinarian regarding the care of your animals. We do require your dogs, past and present be spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vet care and be placed on year round heartworm preventative. You will be contacted for a home visit. Please do not let us do a home visit if you are not truly serious about adoption. This takes so much of our time away from saving other dogs. The home visit is required with all adoptions and does not guarantee the adoption. We cannot Facetime or Skype the home visit and it must be done by a trusted volunteer. If you are approved at your home visit, you will be contacted by the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource Adoption Coordinator volunteer for placement. Again, depending on your lifestyle, needs and characteristics desired, adoption can take from one week to eight weeks depending. Wait times are longer for families with children or special requirements such as specific age, dog coloring and dog gender. If you are waiting for a golden retriever 6 months and under, we highly suggest you consider an adult golden retriever and or even a senior golden retriever where many times all the work; training, housebreaking, etc. has been done for you already. Seriously think how much time you have in your life to devote to a dog.
