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 1996. 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, which otherwise likely would be euthanized, by combining its longstanding, carefully developed relationships with veterinarians and knowledgeable dog behaviorists with the generous financial resources provided by its donors.
