Our Year So Far
Check out what's been going on with our pups so far this year. ->

All GRR dogs are spayed or neutered and updated on vet work before adoption. As you’ll read, a number of our new dogs came into care with heartworms. We typically complete the treatment in foster care, but if one of these Goldens captures YOUR heart & you’re willing to take him or her through the treatment, please discuss it with us! We’ll be happy to give you detailed instructions on the dog’s care (activity restriction is VERY important), and of course we will cover the cost at one of our approved clinics.

Please note - the ages we assign to our dogs are only ESTIMATES - as rescue dogs, their ages are not known with any definition.

Happily adopted dogs from this year, and previous years

Dogs with the are undergoing heartworm treatment.

If only a heart of gold were enough to protect our dogs from heartworms!

We have taken in a record number of heartworm-positive Golden Retrievers, all of whom will need treatment before they are ready for their forever homes. Some of the wonderful dogs below need time to gain or lose weight or just get healthier overall before they can begin their treatment. But in time—maybe a month or two, maybe a good bit longer—they’ll be healthy and ready to fly out the adoption door!

For just about $10 to $12 a month—the cost of Heartgard, Revolution or Sentinel —heartworm infestation can be prevented. The price tag for missing those monthly meds?
On average, GRR spends about $650 per Golden for heartworm treatment—and it can be pretty hard on the dog.

Has your dog had his Heartworm preventative this month?

Our adoption fees alone are not enough to cover the cost of heartworm treatments.
Please consider making a Donation to Gold Ribbon Rescue.
