Dogs with Medical Needs - Our Blarney's Fund

Blarney

Sometimes dogs come to Neuse River Golden River Rescue in need of specialized veterinary care. Blarney's Fund was created to help meet the financial expenses that go beyond routine care and allow supporters to specify that their donations go directly to our dogs with the most serious medical needs.

Blarney, the namesake of this fund, was an exceptional golden retriever who loved his humans and created many success stories of his own. Click here to learn more about Blarney and his life.

This page features some of the dogs who have come to us with special needs and is dedicated to NRGRR donors, volunteers, fosters and adopters who help them navigate their journey. Below you will find stories for recent dogs in the program with special needs. You will also find archived stories of Blarney's Fund Alumni by clicking here.
