Our Mission

Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. (LIGRR) is a non-profit organization operated exclusively by volunteers dedicated to improving the quality of life of Golden Retrievers who are neglected, abused, or abandoned. Services are also provided to owners who can no longer care for their Golden Retriever. It is our mission to provide veterinary care and loving adoptive homes for any Golden in need - no matter whether the dog is a young puppy or a senior citizen.

Young Rescue Champions!


Puppy Mill

Recently, Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue and other rescue groups across the country were asked to help in a rescue mission for a group of dogs who were released from a puppy mill to a rescue group in Oklahoma.

Please watch this part of the website as we watch these girls hopefully to change before our eyes.


CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Annie (3/00 to 3/5/09 at the bridge), Dylan and Corey on earning their Canine Good Citizen title and on becoming certified Therapy Dogs. Their mom Melanie is so proud of them.

Available Dogs

This page shows a number of dogs which are currently available for adoption.

If you are interested in adopting a dog, please be aware of the following:

The adoption process consists of the application, the phone interview, and a home visit. We have very limited resources for home visits that are out of state or too far upstate. We do make an effort to do them but often the wait is quite long and there are times when we are unable to do them. Please apply to your local rescue as they might be able to assist you better.
