Grand Strand Golden Retriever Rescue (GSGRR) is a group of volunteers located in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of Golden Retrievers into the best homes possible to ensure their loving care for as long as they live. Our volunteers have been rescuing Goldens for more than 20 years and are truly in love with this wonderfully goofy breed! As soon as a Golden comes into our program, it is taken to the vet for a physical examination and all of its medical needs are met. The Golden is then placed in a warm and loving foster home, where it will remain until a permanent home is found. During this time the foster family is able to assess the Golden's personality, which is necessary in determining the perfect "furever" match for both dog and family. Before adoption, the Golden will be vaccinated, altered, tested and treated for heartworms and microchipped. Anyone wishing to adopt one of our Goldens must complete an application and home visit. We will verify the care of your current or previous pets with your veterinarian, and ensure that any pets in your home have been altered. Our volunteers are committed to our Goldens and to the humane treatment of all animals. We work to promote responsible pet ownership within the community through the advocacy of spay/neuter education.
