Golden Rescue South Florida, Inc.

GRSF has no paid staff. We have no offices. We have no expensive administrative expenses. We do however have 3 tireless Board Directors along with 75+ passionate volunteers and foster families to manage every aspect of rescue, including home placement, medical logistics, transportation needs, fundraising and public awareness. The Goldens we rescue go to experienced foster families where they get love and attention. While in foster care, we provide veterinary care, treatment, and rehabilitation and each Golden is spayed/neutered and microchipped if not already done so. Very often, we know very little about their history, therefore during their fostering period, they receive comprehensive evaluation of temperate so we may find the "right" forever family. Our mission is to rehabilitate and restore all they have lost due to previous human failures and provide them with a second chance they so richly deserve. When the Golden is ready, a forever family is chosen based on the needs of the dog and after a thorough application, home visit and stringent criteria.

Sometimes when we bring a Golden into our care, we find out they have a physical or age limitation or an untreatable or life-threatening medical condition that eliminates them from being a good candidate for adoption. That is when they enter GRSF's Hospice Safe Harbor program. Hospice dogs stay under the rescue safe care "harbor" at one of our hospice foster families for the remainder of their lives, however long that may be. Our hospice dogs receive love, compassion, and palliative care to help relieve suffering and improve the quality of life for dogs.

Global Goldens - Rescue Without Borders. For us, rescue knows no borders, so we go where abused, neglected, abandoned Golden Retrievers & Golden 'mixes' need us. We have one goal, one purpose, one focus. Our international efforts do not interfere with our mission here at home. Domestic rescuing takes precedence.
