Riley Fostered By Vet Katrina Warren
Riley is
now in foster care with Dr Katrina Warren, sharing her home with her young daughter and Mr Fox, a cat with a reputation for being
the centre of attention. His care is ongoing and he is receiving a ton of love, going for walks each day, eating nutritious meals
and being part of a family. Riley will need time for the wounds to heal, time to put on weight, to grow a luxurious coat and
eventually be ready to take his place as a much loved member of a family. You can read Riley's full story here.
Talk To The Animals
GRR appeared with Dr Katrina
Warren on 'Talk To The Animals' in June 2010. The producer has kindly given permission for the video clip of
the segment to be shown on GRR’s website, so if you missed it here’s you chance to catch up, and if you enjoyed it here’s your
chance to watch GRR in action again.
GRR Supporter Dog Coats
GRR has many supporters who regularly attend fund
raising stalls with their Goldies. Previously GRR has provided a supporter’s coat for each dog to wear and these coats attracted
so much attention from the public and Goldie owners that GRR has decided to release a colourful range of coats so that your Goldies
can join in the fun and help raise awareness for the not so fortunate Goldies that arrive at GRR. Click

GRR's Victorian Representative - Gail Boyd
An article about Golden Retriever Rescue appeared
in the November/December 2006 issue of 'Bark' magazine which brought about the introduction of Gail Boyd to GRR Inc. Gail, a Goldie
lover from way back was keen to help, and made several trips to Sydney from Albury to learn how GRR operates and observe Wendy and
Trisha rescue and rehabilitate the Goldies before placing them into homes.
It wasn’t long before a Goldie needed rescuing in the Albury area and when Gail was contacted she went into action and it was the first of many trips up the Hume Highway with a Goldie to GRR Headquarters. Years later and with many successful rescues and rehomings to her credit, Gail heads up GRR Inc in Albury. Read more about Gail here.
Family Vet Centre comes on board to assist GRR
Dr Peter Lee and and Dr Justin Clancy
of the Family Vet Centre in Albury and Wodonga have joined forces with GRR and are giving
generously of their time and expertise to provide top notch veterinary care to the Golden Retrievers that come to Gail Boyd who
heads up GRR in the Albury area and Dianne and Wayne Hanby who take care of the Goldies in the Wodonga region. Generously providing
heartworm testing, vaccinations, desexing and microchipping services enables GRR to place Golden Retrievers in the surrounding area
and into Victoria.
Previously all Goldies arriving in the Albury/Wodonga region were transported to Sydney to have all veterinary work done before being rehomed in the Sydney Metropolitan and Regional area. With the addition of the Family Vet Centre in the Albury and Wodonga region the days of traveling up and down the Hume Highway will be greatly reduced and GRR’s time can be spent caring for the Goldies, not on the road. Victorians who contact GRR looking for a Goldie will now have a better chance of finding that special golden friend to become part of their family.
Wendy, Trisha, Gail, Dianne, Wayne and all the Goldies give our grateful thanks to Dr Peter Lee and Dr Justin Clancy and say a hearty ‘Welcome on Board’. With over 160 Goldies being rehomed since Christmas 2009 the veterinary care and services provided by the Family Vet Centre is greatly appreciated and very much needed. GRR looks forward to working with Peter and Justin in preparing the Goldies to go to their new homes.
