Mission Statement
Founded in 2001, Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue (GRFR) is a nonprofit, charitable 501(c)(3) 100 % unpaid volunteer rescue organization. Our mission is to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and adopt abused, neglected, and unwanted Golden Retrievers and Mixed Breed Dogs to permanent homes. All of our Goldens/Mixed Breeds are currently in foster homes which enables GRFR to better assess the temperament of each Golden/Mixed Breed for matching to the appropriate permanent home and provides prospective owners the opportunity to visit the Golden/Mixed Breed in a non-kennel environment. Golden Retrievers/Mixed Breeds placed by GRFR are not suited for an outside-only life and require a place in the home that they can identify as their territory. GRFR does our very best to place our Goldens/Mixed Breeds in the best appropriate home environment and several interviews will be held between the prospective owners and GRFR which includes a home visit prior to placement.
About This Cause
Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue has rescued over 5,600 Goldens since established in 2001. Your donation enables us to provide our dogs with veterinary care, including routine vaccinations & more extensive surgeries or treatments. We are a 100% volunteer organization, and $0.96 of every dollar goes directly back to the care of our dogs. We rely on adoption fees & most importantly, generous donors like you, as your contribution is essential for us to continue our mission of helping & finding forever loving homes for our dogs. Our Goldens come from shelters, puppy mills that have been shut down, out of state rescues that have no room, and owner surrenders. Each dog is placed in a loving foster home for evaluation & receives medical care as needed. Your generosity has allowed us to provide $284,000 in medical care for our dogs, which is 72% of our annual expenses, including $96,000 in spay/neuter fees for all the breeder releases and their puppies that we rescued from out of state. We were also able to sponsor three spay/neuter clinics in rural areas. One wonderful example is Oakley, now Rivin, to who your generosity made a profound difference. At just 7 months old, this timid puppy came to GRFR with vision impairment caused by Microphthalmia, a condition that left him completely blind. But Rivin’s indomitable spirit refused to be dimmed. GRFR paid for surgery to ensure his long-term health, avoiding potential complications down the road. It was the best decision for this happy, growing boy. Through patience, love, and innovative approaches—like using essential oil scents to help him navigate—Rivin has learned to thrive. He mastered stairs, learned where the toy bin was, discovered the joys of the great outdoors, and camping. From romping in the park to forming a heartwarming bond with his Great Dane brother, Rivin’s life is a testament to the power of second chances. Rivin is the happiest dog you’ll ever meet that smiles. Yes, he truly smiles! Donations like yours are what make it possible for us to continue to help dogs like Rivin, so they can receive needed medical care & live a long, pain free, happy life. Every dollar counts and your generosity makes a world of difference to our dogs. That’s why your gift is so greatly appreciated.
