NORCAL Golden Retriever Rescue

NGRR receives over 1000 adoption applications each year which we screen in order to make the best match for the approximate 350 dogs surrendered to us. We are on a similar pace for 2009.

SF Chron article about NGRR dogs:
Click here to see the great article in the Wednesday, September 2, 2009 issue of the SF Chronicle by Eileen Mitchell who writes "Pet Tales". It is the story of Maggie, owned by Stephanie Sanders-Badt and Susan Marchant. Maggie was our June 1999 NGRR calendar dog and became a certified therapy pet, bringing joy to older folks in assisted living, and to children with serious medical problems. She was a unique and gifted pet.

BamBam NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!

NGRR helps many Special Needs Goldens in critical need of care. BamBam is one example of a sweet boy we acquired suffering from a broken leg and no medical attention. His family claims they couldn't afford a vet, so incredibly, took this hurting, broken boy home and very tightly wrapped his leg with rags and pieces of broken sticks for support. We rescued him from these horrible circumstances and are currently working at trying to save his broken leg . At this point our vet feels we may have a good chance of saving the leg but only time will tell. When healed, we will find him a new loving and caring home.

Every penny counts when it comes to helping beautiful dogs like BamBam. This is how your donation money is used, this is where it goes, when you designate your donation to Special Needs. Please donate what you can and please continue to read BamBam's progress as updates are posted.

To help BamBam, go to our on line donation page and contribute to the Special Needs Fund.

Fosters are our most important people. Fosters take in surrendered dogs who need a safe home right away, they make sure vet visits and shots are done, and other wise care for the dog as if were their own while in their custody. Our fosters are compassionate, giving people, willing to invest their time and talent to help a dog in need.

If you are interested in becoming an NGRR foster, see our online foster application . One of our members will contact you and arrange an interview.

Click on any dog image below to see more information. If you would like to look into adoption, please submit an Online Adoption Form . If you see a dog here that interests you, add the name and number of the dog in the comments section. However if you don't see a dog for you here, please still submit the application because our inventory of dogs changes frequently, and the best dog for you may not yet be on this page. You can also help us find loving new homes for these dogs by going to our On Line Donation form.
