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.
|
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.
