Welcome to Gulf South Golden Retriever rescue
Rescuing golden retrievers since 2003
Gulf South Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc. (GSGRR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization run by a small group of volunteers. We are based in the Greater New Orleans, LA area. We take in purebred golden retrievers from public shelters and accept owner-relinquished goldens from Gulf Coast states (LA, MS, AL, FL). We provide our dogs with veterinary care including spaying or neutering as necessary, evaluate their temperament and socialize them by having them live with foster families. Then, the dogs are matched with loving, carefully selected adoptive homes throughout the Gulf South.
Each GSGRR member, officer and foster care provider is an unpaid volunteer with family and work commitments. We strive to respond quickly to every inquiry received, but more importantly, we want to place the right dog in the right home. If you not receive a timely reply, please send a follow note to our main email address.
If you’re interested in adopting a rescued golden retriever, please visit our Facebook page. There, you’ll find photos and bios of our dogs who are currently available for adoption. If you’re interested receiving more information or adopting one of the dogs profiled, please fill out our adoption application.
We rescue goldens of all ages, sizes and coat colors ranging from light buff to medium gold and dark red. We are constantly adopting out and accepting new dogs into our program.
If you don’t find a match at first glance on Facebook, we recommend you fill out an application and describe the type of golden you’re looking to adopt.
That way, we can process your application, it will be ready when the right golden comes along. Because we have a list of pre-approved clients, many dogs are adopted before they have a chance to get onto the website.
We will do our best to find the right dog for you!

Without the help of local Veterinarians we would not be able to save as many dogs as we do. We would like to introduce you to the Clinics and the staff that help us with all the dogs.
