Rescue Ranger

Please take some time to look through our first ever Electronic Rescue Ranger, NRGRR's newsletter. We hope to share heartwarming stories of rescue, joy and success.

Help Us Help Them
Dogs do so much for us and they do it unconditionally, but sometimes they need more than a little help from us too. Help NRGRR help these young dogs so they can become healthy, happy family members in their new forever homes. Please help us in any way you can. Click on their pictures to read their stories.

Primo: Hit By a Car And Trying To Get Well

My name is Primo and I am the happiest little dude you will ever meet. I love life and everything in it. People, dogs, cats and even goats! I am a 1-year old pup and somehow got lost. I had an accident and one of my back legs was hurt pretty badly. NRGRR took me to a special doctor to get fixed up. I can’t wait to be able to run around like the rest of my friends ‘cause I love to play. Unfortunately the surgery is really expensive so please help NRGRR pay for it if you can. I’d really appreciate it. Please click the link to see the latest update to Primo's story and adventures from August 18th!

Drum - Portrait of a Heartworm Positive dog
Drum is a 9 year old fun loving, adorable, vivacious golden male who loves meeting people and going places with his foster parents especially if it involves riding in a car! Camping is also a favorite activity of Drum's and he has taken a couple of long road trips with his 3 golden sisters. He also enjoys "protecting" his back yard from an occasional rabbit wandering in. Drum is your typical golden retriever except for the fact that sadly, Drum is also living under a life sentence. Please read more about Drum and his condition.Drum - Portrait of a Heartworm Positive Dog

Adopt-a-thons

Interested in visiting with some of our adoptable Goldens? Attend one of our Adopt-a-thons. Check out the schedule. Please note that all dogs may not be attending each adoption event. You can get information about applying to adopt at the adopt-a-thon, but you may also want to consider completing an application in advance by calling our information line 919-676-7144.

Volunteer
We are always in need of new volunteers to help with fostering, answering calls on our Infoline and organizing fundraisers. If you would like to find out more about any of our volunteer opportunities, please email NRGRRvolunteers@hotmail.com.

Need to surrender a Golden?

There are two ways we can potentially help families unable to keep their Goldens:
We can advertise the dog on our website and interested adopters can contact you directly.
We can take ownership of the dog and place the dog in a foster home until we find the right adopter.
Read the details and then call our hotline/voicemail: 919-676-7144.
