Welcome to Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue

Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue's (SCGRR's) partners in South Korea have been busy trying to save dogs from getting sold in the meat trade, killed in high kill shelters, or saving medical priority dogs left and right. High kill shelters don't necessarily practice humane euthanasia and have even been known to sell dogs to the tortuous dog meat trade. Unfortunately, the 2020 pandemic has made a dire situation even worse.

South Korea is also by far the most expensive country for SCGRR to responsibly rescue from because Heart worm is so prevalent and fosters are scarce. We work hard to make sure dogs are clear of “microfilaria” – the infectious part of Heart worm – before they can come to the U.S. to begin the life they've always deserved. This is because we live in a low Heart worm state where many owners don’t have their dogs on prevention. That means longer stays for initial treatment overseas where fosters are scarce and costly boarding is necessary. With COVID-19 travel restrictions and impending summer heat, the situation is even more complicated and their stays might be even longer. But at least with our partner, they are safe for now!

SCGRR sponsored 4 amazing Goldens. During the time it took for us to commit to these 4 dogs, two others we were considering died and another was found at a meat farm. We need your help to pull together funds specifically to help dogs from this country. Please help us continue to save these dogs from horrible living conditions and even more horrific deaths. COVID-19 has also impacted our fundraising through events this year (down 70%) and we don’t want to leave these dogs behind.
