Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue

"DVGRR is the best rescue I’ve ever adopted from. Zack, the adoption manager, took time to ensure our match aligned with what was best for the adoptable dog and our household. They provided a detailed report on the dog chosen for you so you would be prepared to ease the dogs transition into your home. I will forever be grateful for being matched with and adopting Leo, he was my soul dog and brought so much joy to our family."

"Having been involved with DVGRR since 1994 as a volunteer, adopter, and former staff member, I can say unequivocally that this organization is top notch. Originally dependent on foster homes, the rescue opened its own kennel facility in 2000 in order to serve more dogs and provide more intensive medical and behavioral services. Every dog is cared for with compassion, love, high quality medical care (on-site medical clinic), and a myriad of training/socialization opportunities to prepare them for adoption. DVGRR's innovative Project Home Life program, which rehabilitates shy and fearful dogs (including many surrendered after a lifetime of breeding in puppy mills) has been nationally recognized for its excellent results. From the top leadership staff to the dedicated kennel caregivers, every staff member works extraordinarily hard to maintain high standards, spend donor dollars wisely, educate the public about rescue and adoption, and give so many dogs in need (including quite a few that spend months at the kennel while being prepared for adoption) a second chance at happy, healthy lives with new, adoptive families. I've personally adopted six dogs from DVGRR and maintain contact with many other loyal adopters and supporters."
