Golden Friends Rescue
Golden Friends Rescue is a unique rescue. We work to build networking bridges between shelters and Golden Retriever Rescues. Our members are located all over the US and overseas.
We work as a go-between to help move golden retrievers and golden retriever mixes out of kill shelters and into reputable, established rescue organizations. We are willing to assist with adoption fees from the shelters; arrange transports, and cover intake fees to the rescues, where necessary.
Our goal is to ensure as many golden retrievers as possible find their way to their forever home. We do this by assisting the shelters and the larger, established rescues with their adoption processes.
We are incorporated and while our 501C status is still in process, we will let you know as soon as it is approved so that your donations will be tax-deductible.

Our History
A little bit more about Golden Friends Rescue
Golden Friends Rescue was begun by a group of concerned Golden Retriever lovers, to help Goldens in need. In January 2008, Pamela Patton, who lives in puppy mill central, was presented with a Golden puppy who was in need of a better life!! The puppy was living in a rabbit cage, in freezing temperatures, in a dark barn and was all alone! Pam quickly contacted her Golden forum friends and they in turn raised the funds to spring this poor little guy from his hell!!One of the members of our group adopted the puppy, reimbursed the group and named her new puppy Travis. It was decided rather than return the funds to the donors, we would put the money aside and continue to raise additional funds so we would be prepared the next time a Golden in need came to our attention.
Our group enabled this one puppy to have a wonderful life. Something that was not in his future before Pam came along.
And that was the beginning of our group...
Several months previous to our group helping Travis find a new life, a few members of the forum group funded the rescue of three Amish puppy mill golden puppies. These three girls were placed with GRRI-NJ. All three went on to find their forever home.Technically, that was the real beginning of our group.
To continue this work, we need your help. If you would like to join our growing list of volunteers, please email us or post on our wall, and tell us the best way to reach you. We will contact you with further information.
If you are with a shelter or rescue and would like our assistance, please feel free to contact us at our email below.

Help Golden Retrievers Find Their Forever Home...
The money we raise is used to pay adoption fees to get dogs out of a shelter; arrange safe transports, and cover intake fees to the rescues-whatever is necessary to ensure as many Golden Retrievers as possible find their way to their forever home!
As part of our Squidoo Family, please help us build bridges to save these innocent animals.
Just think, right now a $5.00 gift can buy enough GAS to "build" a FIFTY-MILE BRIDGE getting a dog from a shelter to the first leg of his journey home!
