WELCOME TO DELAWARE VALLEY GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUEDVGRR is a volunteer non-profit group that rescues displaced Golden Retrievers and places them for adoption. Although we operate in much the same way as your local SPCA, we take in only purebred Golden Retrievers. We operate in Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey and have successfully placed over 1600 Golden Retrievers into new homes since 1993.
Donors : Please be prudent when donating on line. Donations to DVGRR should be given to DVGRR ONLY, through our website or direct mail. We do not authorize other sites to solicit donations for DVGRR.
DVGRR MENTIONED ON OPRAH
On Friday, April 4th, Oprah aired a gut-wrenching expose on puppy mills. The idea for this subject was generated by Bill Smith of Main Line Animal Rescue (MLAR), an all-breed rescue organization in Chester Springs, PA. Main Line Animal Rescue rented a billboard located on the way to Harpo Studios that read: “Oprah – please do a show on puppy mills; the dogs need you.” Oprah responded and the result was the April 4th show.

Picture your dog in next year’s DVGRR calendar!
Lights, camera….fetch! Time to dig out those extra special photos or take some new ones of your favorite canine subject. Do you have a great shot of your adopted dog showing off, acting regal, being silly, or just sporting that great Golden “smile”? We’re already working on next year’s calendar and ready to receive photo submissions. Don’t miss out on the chance to see YOUR dog gracing the cover or representing one of the twelve months inside for 2009! Remember, for a small donation you can also have your dog’s birthday, “gotcha day” (the date you adopted your dog), or memorial date published in the calendar.
