All across America, local Golden Retriever clubs are working to save Goldens that show up wandering the streets or in shelters. GRRMF is comprised solely of volunteers and is self-supporting, relying on fund raising and donations to support all rescue efforts including veterinary care. 100% of all donations are used for the rescue effort. GRRMF, Inc. is recognized by and affiliated with The Golden Retriever Club of America, Inc. GRCA is highly supportive of the rescue efforts of its entire member clubs.
