rescued golden retrievers

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.
Cindy Laws
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.
