Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: TVGRR is a non-profit organization (501c3) which relies totally on donations from adopters, friends, family, and all Golden lovers. Each year TVGRR places approximately 150 Goldens and Golden Mixes in forever homes; which equates to approximately 2,800 dogs rescued since 1997. When TVGRR receives a Golden/Golden Mixes, whether received by owner release or acquired by a shelter, they are evaluated for medical needs, checked for heart and intestinal parasites, spayed/neutered, current on all required vaccinations, micro-chipped, and given heart-worm and flea preventatives. We strive to have each Golden Retriever/Mix evaluated in a foster home, discovering the temperament and behavior of the dog. Tennessee Valley Golden Retriever Rescue (TVGRR) group was formed in July 1997: • To facilitate the adoption of displaced and unwanted Golden Retrievers and Golden Mixes; • To provide a good quality of life for homeless Golden Retrievers and Golden Mixes; • To educate the public in responsible dog ownership; and • To reduce the abuse and neglect of unwanted Goldens through rehabilitation and adoption.

I would like to give Tennessee Valley Golden Retriever Rescue a 5 star rating and a thumbs up. They have been very professional and timely in finding me the right match for my situation. It is important to note they are out to find the perfect dog for the situation. In the beginning, I let them know I was not in a huge hurry to get a dog. My main objective was to get a dog that would do well with another male retriever and cats. They assured me they could find me a really good match and they did. It took a few weeks and they gave me a call to let me know they had a perfect match.

I have no other experience with other rescues but I think it would be hard to beat Tvgrr.com because of my experience with them. If you are wanting a dog that will fit well in a family setting I definitely recommend a golden retriever.
