Love a Golden Rescue was formed in January, 2001 by a small group of Golden Retriever Lovers who saw a need to help Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever Mixes in Central & Eastern Missouri and Central & Southern Illinois.

In the first year, 50 dogs were helped. That was many more than anticipated, but it all came together: Goldens received needed veterinary care and went to foster homes, adoption applications were received, home visits were finished, and the Goldens went to great forever homes. All was accomplished with the help of our dedicated volunteers and using tools like the internet.

We are now 7 years old, and more than 500 dogs have been rescued. We had 2 litter of puppies born not long after their Golden moms came to rescue and another litter was three weeks old when coming to rescue. We have been able to help many Goldens with special health needs and all have found forever homes. We found there was a need to not only help special need dogs but also Senior Goldens who are 9 years old or older. Seniors have a special place in our hearts, and we developed our Senior Life Program to recognize the great families who adopt the Senior Goldens.

Our mission is to help all Goldens regardless of age and needs. We have been able to help Goldens ranging from new born puppies to 14 year old senior who needed a place to go.

Many of our adopting families have adopted a second Golden from us, after all two are as easy as one. The rewards of adopting a rescued Golden and giving that dog a forever home are immeasurable.

 

If you are searching for a Golden to join your family or if you unfortunately can no longer keep your Golden, we would like to help if we can.  Please contact us at  adoption@loveagolden.com
