The Tennessee Valley Golden Retriever Rescue group was formed in July 1997

• To facilitate the adoption of displaced and unwanted Golden Retrievers
• To provide a good quality of life for homeless Golden Retrievers
• To educate the public in responsible dog ownership
• To reduce the abuse and neglect of unwanted Golden Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption.

This webpage provides general information concerning the policies and procedures followed by TVGRR in placing Goldens into their new homes. Most Goldens placed by TVGRR are currently in foster homes which enables a better assessment of the temperament of each Golden for matching to an appropriate permanent home and provides prospective owners the opportunity to visit the Golden in a non-kennel environment.

All TVGRR Goldens are spayed/neutered (if old enough); fully vaccinated (including Bordetalla); on heartworm preventative and micro-chipped. An adoption application, contract and fee are required.
