Welcome to Connecticut Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. (CTGRR). We are an all-volunteer rescue group dedicated to finding forever homes for Golden Retrievers and Retriever Mixes.

You must be a CT resident to adopt through us. If you are outside of CT, please continue your search for a rescue group serving your region.

The IRS has classified us as a charitable non-profit 501(C)(3) corporation. Any fees collected or donations given to us are therefore tax-deductible. The cost of preparing a Golden for adoption always exceeds what little we ask for in fees, so we do welcome and appreciate any donations out of the goodness of your heart.

Our adoptable Goldens are often staying with temporary foster families while they wait to find their forever homes. The dogs come from local shelters, as well as from local owners who have made the tough decision to give up their special dogs to loving homes.

Since we focus strictly on local dogs in need, we no longer have the volume of available dogs we once had when teaming with out of state rescue groups seeking New England homes for their needy dogs. If we do not have a dog for you, you can search for great dogs to adopt on Petfinder.com, or you can e-mail us for a referral to another rescue group and we will gladly point you in the right direction.

If you are considering surrendering your Golden to our rescue group, rest assured we will do everything possible to accept and place your dog into a great home.

Feel free to contact us via e-mail for further info on adopting a Golden in Connecticut, surrendering your Golden for adoption, or how you can get involved in our rescue group.
