Golden Retriever Rescue of SouthWest Florida, Inc.,

formed in 2009, is an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit dog rescue organization. Based in SouthWest Florida, GRRSWF is dedicated to finding exceptional homes for Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes who are homeless, abandoned in shelters or surrendered by their owners.

This year marks another challenging one for GRRSWF, both in terms of dogs saved (well over 100) and increasing veterinary costs ($180,000+). Even with these rising numbers, we continue to provide top-notch care to every dog as we work with owners and shelters throughout Florida to ensure that no golden is left in need.

As always, the year was marked by several memorable cases. For example, Captain #1280, an 8-year-old purebred who came from a breeder, proved to be heartworm positive. Following his second imicitide injection, he suffered a severe reaction, lost the use of his legs, and nearly died.

Many months later however, Captain is happy, healthy and loving life with the new family that saw him through his long and difficult recovery. His veterinary costs of more than $20,000 broke the GRRSWF record. We could not have saved this sweet gent without the generosity of donors and supporters who come through time after time.
