G.R.E.A.T. Reviews

G.R.E.A.T. Rescue has been a blessing to our family with the addition of our sweet boy, Arthur. They made a perfect match based on their application process. They are a loving, kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated Golden rescue group.
Allison V.Adopted Arthur
G.R.E.A.T. Rescue matched our family with an AMAZING boy. With some additional training, he is now a therapy dog bringing joy to everyone he meets. The support we have received from G.R.E.A.T. has been exceptional even after adoption.

G.R.E.A.T. Rescue is such a wonderful organization and has been a big part of our family. We’ve been lucky enough to foster four sweet Goldens and adopt two. Judi and Terri are super heroes and I’m in total awe of their devotion to helping dogs in need.

We've been blessed with three amazing Goldens from G.R.E.A.T. They have the knack for matching a Golden to the right family. Our first became a Therapy Dog, the second is our big girl who is a true diva, and the third is one of the “Turkey Goldens”. We are truly grateful to G.R.E.A.T.

Abby is a beautiful Golden Retriever that was surrendered in 2017 at four years old. She has a gentle spirit and became a registered Therapy Dog for several programs including Community Hospice and “Caring Canine” for Mayo Clinic.
