Mission Statement
Life Is Golden, Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 organization which rescues and heals displaced, abandoned, surrendered and homeless Golden Retriever and Golden mixes, regardless of their age or health. We secure safe, loving homes through a comprehensive adoption program, and also provide lifetime sanctuary for Golden's that cannot be adopted. Life Is Golden also provides education on proper animal care and on the benefits of, and need for, rescue and sanctuary. Life Is Golden works to rescue and rehome breeding dogs (moms and dads) and puppies before being sent to dog auction, pet stores, brokers or from imminent danger. Our goal is to help these dogs and puppies in need by finding them forever homes, where they will live their best lives as loved and cherished pets, members of the family. In the event of a disaster, Life Is Golden will provide assistance to other rescue groups and the families of dogs impacted by the disaster.
About This Cause
In support of our Mission Statement, Life Is Golden, Golden Retriever Rescue rescues Golden Retrievers and golden mixes from shelters and from owners who can no longer care for them because of changing circumstances in their lives. We maintain close working relationships with animal shelters in Volusia and surrounding counties, as well as other shelters and rescue organizations throughout Florida and beyond to ensure that Golden's are relinquished to us. We also rescue Golden Retrievers found wandering the streets or reported to us by concerned neighbors. Each rescued dog receives a thorough veterinary exam. All of our dogs will be spayed or neutered before an adoption can occur, all vaccinations are brought up to date, and each dog is tested for heartworm. We rescue the old, the sick and injured – as well as the young healthy ones. Some dogs will have significant health issues and it is our responsibility to provide them with expert veterinary care prior to offering them for adoption. Each of our dogs also receive an evaluation that highlights our observations of their temperament and behavior, and may include training recommendations. Volunteers will be working with the dogs in our care to lay a positive foundation of wanted behaviors. Adopters will be apprised of what we know about their new dog’s continuing medical, behavioral, and training needs at the time of adoption. Life Is Golden, Golden Retriever Rescue is not affiliated with any breed club. Consequently, are able to rescue Golden mixes and golden-hearted dogs as circumstances arise. We are not concerned that our dogs carry AKC papers in their luggage. Life Is Golden, Golden Retriever Rescue maintains a sanctuary and adoption center in Port Orange, Florida. This sanctuary serves as a ‘half-way house’ for dogs awaiting adoption, and as a permanent home for those dogs whose health issues have rendered them unlikely to be adopted. They are welcome to live out their lives at the sanctuary in security and dignity, surrounded by love.
