About Golden Retriever Rescue Resource, Inc.

Every year 2.5 million dogs are euthanized in the United States simply because there are not enough homes for them all. Because the Golden Retriever Dog enjoys such immense popularity, many euthanized are Golden Retriever Dogs.

GRRR was formed in mid 2003 by a group of caring individuals, bound by a deep love and admiration for the breed, in response to the large number of homeless and abandoned Golden Retriever Dogs in the NW Ohio area.

GRRR was incorporated in the state of Ohio in 2003, and granted official 501c(3) status in 2003. The purposes for which the Corporation was organized and to be operated are charitable and/or educational. In accomplishment of such purposes, the Corporation will:

• Establish and maintain a volunteer temporary foster care for the Golden Retriever Dog (purebred and mixed);

• Establish and maintain a permanent adoption service for the Golden Retriever Dog (purebred and mixed) whether rescued by the Corporation or received by gift, devise or otherwise;

• Establish, maintain and participate in educational programs and instructional endeavors to teach the general population regarding the care, commitment and responsibilities of Golden Retriever Dog ownership;

• Recruit, organize and train a corps of volunteers to fulfill the mission and purpose of the Corporation;
  Sponsor or participate in public events that relate to or further the purposes of the Corporation as stated herein;

• Solicit funds for operational and the other expenses of the Corporation and apply for grants and other sources of funds;

• Establish and maintain a website for or on behalf of the Corporation as a means of dispensing information about the Corporation, its programs and its purposes; and perform such other functions as may be necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purposes of the Corporation.

GRRR has no paid employees and receives no government funding or assistance, existing solely on the generous support of the public and the hard work of volunteers. Although we have enjoyed a modicum of success in our first year, much still remains to be done.

It is our fondest wish that one day there will be no need for GRRR or the rescue effort. That there will be a loving home for each and every dog and cat born. That no dog or cat should know abuse, neglect or hunger. That no dog or cat should die alone at the hands of a stranger, but peacefully in the arms of its beloved master. That all of humankind will share in our belief that all life is valuable, to be cherished and held dear.

Until such time we will continue our efforts to make a difference in the lives of animals, one Golden Retriever Dog at a time.

Please help us stop the killing by spaying or neutering your pet and volunteering at your local animal shelter or rescue organization.
