Golden Beginnings Golden Retriever Rescue

Welcome To The Website of
Golden Beginnings Golden Retriever Rescue!

We hope you find your visit informative as well as enjoyable. GBGRR is a non-profit organization, staffed solely by volunteers, devoted to providing rescue and necessary veterinary medical care for unwanted, neglected, abused, homeless and displaced Golden Retrievers. We strive to place our Goldens in adoptive homes where they will receive a lifetime of love.

GBGRR, a non-profit organization founded in 1999,
is celebrating our 10-year anniversary. In our
first ten years, GBGRR has rescued more than two thousand Golden Retrievers and received
numerous awards and grants. GBGRR received the Starfish Award from the Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA) for our rescue efforts during hurricane Katrina, and in 2008, two of our rescued Goldens won G.R.A.C.E. (Golden Retrievers Achieving Community Excellence) Awards in two

different categories at the GRCA Nationals in Providence, Rhode Island.

We hold a variety of fundraising, public awareness and educational events throughout the year. The highlight is our Reunion Picnic each May, where hundreds of rescued Goldens (and the humans who love them) meet to play, romp, swim, socialize and have lunch, and those dogs in their "Golden Years" proudly participate in the "Parade of Seniors". It's not to be missed! Whether you're interested in fostering, adopting, volunteering or just love golden retrievers, please click here to join our mailing list.

CONGRATULATIONS CIL!
Cil GRCA National Rescue Committee honors GB President Cil Henson
with the Starfish Award

The National Rescue Committee of the Golden Retriever Club of America has announced that our own Cil Henson is the recipient of the 2009 Starfish Award. The presentation of the Awards will occur in September 2010 at Goldstock in Pennsylvania and then again at the GRCA National Specialty Show in Greeley, Colorado and GB representatives will be present for both. Cil Henson isn't one to "pull rank". Cil handles a great deal of the intake and takes calls night and day, 7 days a week. GB volunteers wonder when she sleeps, and say of Cil " she embodies trust, integrity, sincerity, commitment and stamina" and she leads by example....gently wrapping her arms around each intake and whispering "It's going to be okay". The award is given for work in the past year, and Cil is recognized for her sustained and enduring work to rescue Golden Retrievers on the 10th anniversary of Golden Beginnings. Congratulations and thank you Cil!

A huge and heartfelt Golden thank you to Jim Burwell and Leila Martin
