Home - Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue

Since 1993, DVGRR has successfully placed thousands of Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Goldendoodles and Labradoodles into new homes throughout PA and beyond. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit relying on donations, supporters, fundraising, and event and retail proceeds for funding to provide top-quality care to all DVGRR dogs. Learn more about our Golden Gateway campus and watch our campus tour video.
