Mission
Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue is an all-volunteer organization that has rescued and found permanent, loving homes for Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes since its inception in 1994. Through the dedicated work of its foster families and other volunteers, the Rescue helps displaced, abandoned, and homeless Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes throughout Northern California and western Nevada regardless of their age or health. Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue is able to save dogs that would otherwise likely be euthanized by combining its longstanding, carefully developed relationships with veterinarians and knowledgeable dog behaviorists with the generous financial resources provided by its donors.
Program accomplishments
- During 2024, Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue rescued, rehabilitated, and placed in loving homes Golden Retrievers, Golden Retriever mixes, and bonded pairs that include at least one Golden Retriever. The organization brought in 169 new dogs and provided continuing veterinarian and professional behavioral care to a total of 198 dogs. Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue also participated in various in-person outreach programs throughout Northern California to educate the public regarding its mission and work, what it means to foster or adopt a rescue dog, and the special needs and benefits of caring for a Golden Retriever or a Golden Retriever mix. It also informed the public about puppy scams, how to spot puppy mills, and the risks of obtaining a puppy from a mill, in addition to distributing dog-related information, tools, and resources through its newsletters, website, and social media accounts.Expenses $408,437 · revenue $64,000
