Covering Western and Central Pennsylvania and occasionally beyond!
Keystone Golden Retriever Rescue Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the
rescue and care of unwanted Golden Retrievers. Our goal is to place these dogs in safe, loving,
permanent homes. Additionally, we work to defend dogs against the inhumane, cruel treatment they
suffer in Pennsylvania puppymills and for improved protection for all dogs.
When Keystone Rescue takes in a golden,
volunteers evaluate the dog and provide appropriate veterinary care, including:
- vaccinations
- spaying or neutering
- a heartworm test
- a check for internal parasites
- a screening for Lyme disease
- a general health exam
Some dogs require
more extensive veterinary treatment, which we also provide. While
dog are in KGRR they live in volunteer foster homes, where they are
taken care of and loved like one of our own.
Golden
retrievers are large sporting dogs. They vary in size, color, shape,
and personality. A golden retriever is a large dog that may knock
a person down. Goldens have long hair, which they shed throughout
the year.
Golden retrievers are extremely intelligent, which is
why they are used as search and rescue dogs, assistance dogs, and
guide dogs. Goldens are very loving, loyal, and affectionate companion
dogs. They do not make good guard dogs. They may bark at a stranger,
but will also invite them in with a tail wagging.
Goldens can remain
puppyish until 3 years of age or even older, despite the fact that
they are full-grown. Goldens love to be loved, love to learn, are
eager to please, and want to be a part of the family. If you are
considering a Golden Retriever to join your family, please consider
a 'rescue' golden. You won't be sorry.
