Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue
YGRR is a non-profit, charitable 501(c)(3) organization rescuing Golden Retrievers and Golden-Hearted dogs.
While in our care we provide individualized enrichment, medical care, and training. Our goal is to match every dog to their forever family. Our page highlights previously adopted Goldens from our program, and occasionally current residents and upcoming events It's our goal to help local dogs of any age find loving families in New England. We excel in re-homing senior Goldens and dogs of any age who have orthopedic needs. All our Goldens live at our kennel/headquarters 'Riverview' until they are adopted.

What's a little crunchy, a little gooey, and in everyone's Halloween candy bowl?...
TWIX of course! And we have our very own Twix here with us, waiting for his own home to celebrate this Halloween with!
A cute guy? Yes!
Amazing ears? Well, duh.
Goofy personality? Of course!
Sweet like candy? Absolutely!
Twix arrived to us from the southern states with his sister! He is not looking to go home with, but he would indeed love a dog sibling to teach him the ropes of human-training in his new home.
He hopes to teach his new humans to give him lots of treats while he goes on leash walks so that he can get really good at them! He also hopes that his new home will learn how he likes to have fun but that the world is still big and new to his little puppy brain!
Get your Twix before he's snatched from the candy bowl!

๐ How is Bobble still looking for his forever home?! ๐พ
Those gorgeous eyes are still waiting for someone to fall in love with themโฆ and trust us, Bobble has plenty of personality to go along with them! ๐ฅน
At just over a year old, Bobble is a playful, affectionate guy who LOVES his people. He gives the best hugs, is a professional full-body leaner, has wonderful leash manners, and if thereโs a pool involved? Even better. ๐ฆ๐ถ
Bobble also loves playing with his canine friends here at Yankee! While he can absolutely have doggie friends, heโs looking to be the only dog in his forever home, where he can have his own space, routine, and resources.
๐ก Bobbleโs perfect home:
๐พ An active family ready for a fun, playful companion
๐พ A yard where he can explore
๐พ No other dogs in the home, but dog friends are welcome!
๐พ Teenagers are okay โ no young children
๐พ A family comfortable managing his resource guarding, particularly around his food bowl
๐พ People willing to continue helping him work on his manners and barrier reactivity
Bobble may need a family willing to understand a few of his quirks, but underneath them is an incredibly affectionate, goofy boy with so much love to give. ๐
Heโs ready for adventures, walks, pool days, lots of hugs, and finally having a family of his very own.
Could Bobble be the one youโve been waiting for? ๐ก๐พ
Please share and help us find his people! ๐

๐ Our King is still waiting for his castleโฆ ๐ฐ๐
This sweet senior gentleman has been patiently waiting for a forever family to call his own, and weโd love your help getting his face in front of the right people. ๐พ
Kingโs perfect day is pretty simple: being by his personโs side, getting plenty of love and attention, enjoying some tasty treats, and showing off his adorable little waddle and jog. ๐ฅน Heโs a loyal companion who would happily spend his golden years right beside you.
Because King loves his humans so much, heโs looking for a home where someone is around often โ whether youโre retired, work from home, or can bring your four-legged coworker along with you. ๐ป๐ถ
๐ Kingโs ideal castle includes:
๐พ A senior-dog-friendly lifestyle
๐ก Someone home often or able to take him to work
๐ถ No other dog required, but a calm canine sibling could be a good fit
๐ Older, dog-savvy teenagers are welcome
๐๏ธ Plenty of love, attention, and cozy snuggles
King doesnโt need a fancy throne or a royal palace. He just needs someone to choose him. ๐
Could you give this sweet senior the happily ever after heโs been waiting for?
Please share King โ his forever family might be one share away. ๐
