Our Mission:
Grand Strand Golden Retriever Rescue is a volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Golden Retrievers and Golden-hearted mixes across the Carolinas. Whether they’ve been abandoned, surrendered, or overlooked, we believe every dog deserves a second chance at a safe, loving forever home. Through fostering, adoption, and community support, we’re on a mission to restore hope one golden life at a time.

Adoption Finding Forever Homes
Fostering is truly the lifeline of our rescue mission. Without volunteer homes, we simply can’t bring in more dogs. By welcoming a Golden into your home, you:
- Save two lives at once: one you care for, and another who takes their place in shelter space.
- Provide a safe place for rehabilitation, and help prepare each dog for adoption.

Fostering is truly the lifeline of our rescue mission. Without volunteer homes, we simply can’t bring in more dogs. By welcoming a Golden into your home, you:
- Save two lives at once: one you care for, and another who takes their place in shelter space.

- Become the best source of insight to potential adopters, describing the dog’s personality in real‑life terms.
GSGRR covers all medical expenses and supplies you bring home, love, and care.

- Complete an application, have a phone interview, and host a home visit to ensure the best fit.
- All resident pets must be altered, and care verified with veterinarians to promote responsible pet guardianship.
- Although primarily focused on Golden Retrievers and mixes, GSGRR occasionally helps other urgent "Golden hearts” always with care, matching, and dedication.

- Help with home visits, transportation, shelter scouting, applications, and event support.
- Bring your skills in photography, admin help, communications, or event planning to boost visibility and rescue capacity.

Help Us Help Them
Your donation isn't just a gift, it's a lifeline. Every dollar goes directly towards medical care, food, and supplies for Golden Retrievers in need. Whether it's heartworm treatment for a neglected senior or vaccines for a rescued puppy, your support makes rescue possible.
We are a 100% volunteer-run organization.
