About Us
An
incredible number of Goldies are received on a regular basis. All arrive at GRR lost and bewildered,
requiring grooming, food and varying degrees of veterinary care. The dogs are reassured, loved and
nurtured by GRR or with foster carers until after an intense screening and matching process, suitable
new homes offering love and stability are found for them. They go to their new families in the best
of health ready to give the unconditional love that Golden Retrievers are so good at. Follow up calls
and visits are always carried out to ensure that the relationship is a happy and harmonious one for
all concerned.
Our aim is to raise awareness of the results of irresponsible ownership, the practice of puppy farming or backyard breeders, and to encourage people to purchase their puppy from a breeder registered with the Canine Council in their state. With many rescues each week, we have plenty of work to do!
Like most people, we too were amazed that there is a need for a rescue service for this beautiful breed. Browse through the Current Rescues page and meet the Goldies who are looking for a new family to love. Also check out the Rescue Success page to see the hundreds of Goldies who have found their way to GRR and a new life!
Finding Forever Homes:
Situated in Sydney and supported by a team of dedicated foster families and friends, Trisha and Wendy
welcome, rehabilitate and re-home their chosen and much loved breed of dog, Golden Retrievers.
Rescue Families Keep Coming Back For More:
Golden Retriever Rescue's assessment, rehabilitation and training program has successfully placed
hundreds of Goldies into loving homes with many families returning for another Goldie rescue. We say,
the more the merrier!
Milo has the sweetest nature and
was only 3 years old when he was picked up by the RSPCA whilst wandering on a busy highway. It was
established that he was blind and it appeared that his owners had decided to dump him rather than seek
treatment or surrender him to the pound.
Milo has had a lens implant in his
left eye and has about 20% vision, unfortunately he will never have any sight from his right eye. Therefore
he needed to be rehomed at a special place with no stairs and with someone who understood that he could
never be off lead.
Milo is now well fed and
much loved, he has a magnificent coat and is currently living in a beautiful
Blue Mountains home. He absolutely loves the feel of snow under his paws,
and he adores both people and dogs alike. Golden Retriever Rescue wishes Milo well!
