WELCOME TO YANKEE GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE (YGRR) What's New


Happily Adopted!
Eddie, YGRR #4536


Two-year-old Eddie needed a family who could give him the time and attention he craved. Eddie's owners bred designer dogs which left them little time for Eddie. Eddie spent most of his days in a crate or in the yard. His family could not manage the care and cleaning of so many dogs and knew Eddie deserved a family who could better care for him.

Eddie was brought to the YGRR veterinarian where he was found to be in good health. He was a big boy and weighed in at 87 pounds! Eddie came to Riverview where he settled in to await his new home. An experienced Golden family was called to meet Eddie and they loved this big, goofy boy. His adopters have already called to say that the transition has gone much better than they anticipated and that Eddie has fit right in with the family. He sleeps right next to their bed at night and is always with them during the day. Eddie is getting lots of exercise on his daily two mile hikes in a conservation area located next to his home. Eddie has found his perfect family!

YGRR is a non-profit, charitable 501(c)(3) organization which provides veterinary care and permanent new homes for Golden Retrievers from the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont). We are a full-service rescue and we assist Goldens of all ages and medical conditions. Our youngest Rescue Golden was part of an abandoned litter born at Riverview (our rescue and adoption facility) and our oldest Rescue Golden was fourteen at the time of admission to our program. We rescued our first Golden in April, 1985 and placed our 4000th Golden during the year 2004.

ALL the Goldens who appear on this Web site are YGRR Goldens. YGRR relies on donations, fund-raising activities and memberships for its income. We do not receive any state or federal funds. Donations to YGRR are tax deductible.
