The amount of time and energy you are willing to give will determine the reward you reap. Any and every little bit helps. Even if you are available to transport only once or twice a year, that effort is a tremendous help to a rescue group and could mean the difference between a stray golden finding safe haven with a rescue group or finding euthanasia at a shelter.
Most groups operate on bare bones budgets.
The adoption fees rarely cover the costs of caring for rescue goldens prior to adoption, so groups must rely on fundraising efforts and the generosity of strangers. Sometimes it is easier to give money than to give time. Both are always welcome, needed and appreciated. We are proud of our tie to our breed club and in recent years have faced the dilemma of breaking off in order to achieve tax exempt status or remaining attached to our club. We have elected to remain with our breed club and simply work a little harder to raise money to support our rescue efforts.
