Review for Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I adopted my first Retriever from the Rescue about 7 years ago and I then volunteered to foster for the Rescue. I was a failed foster my first time out and ended up adopting her. I then fostered several more times for the Rescue. I lost my female in 2007 to old age ailments and I adopted a young female with "special needs". The Rescue had surgery performed at the cost of $5,000 and that was not the end of her expenses to the Rescue. I have had her now for over 2 years and she is a joy. I lost my 1st Rescue in December of 08 due to cancer. Due to some health problems I have not been fostering but I have stayed in touch and I know the ends these people go to save an animal. They are very caring and really take the time to make the perfect match. God Bless all who volunteer their time and money for this Rescue.

They would be able to save many more dogs, they are at an all time high of rescues due mainly to the failure of the housing market.
Ways to make it better...
I wish I could have become more involved with the rescue.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Finding the funds to continue their work. This is a hard time for any charitable organization due to the economy and most of the volunteers spend their own money to save a dog.
