Zeva’s Puppies!
Our sweet mama had an eventful delivery on December 3rd. She had four little cuties at home, but then stopped laboring, so we rushed her via pet EMT to the emergency vet. Unfortunately, we lost a few along the way. We were expecting five to seven, but only three survived, and they will be named Clove, Green Bean, and Yam. One little angel passed overnight and will be named Sweet Potato in memorial. Mama is recovering and doing her best to care for her three strong, beautiful survivors.
Thanks to everyone who voted for the puppy’s names!
A huge thank you to our major sponsors of our events!

Make a donation.
Thank you for considering a donation to support Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue.
Our volunteers give their time, their homes and their hearts to every dog who comes to us for help. Unfortunately, warm homes and loving hearts alone do not pay for the medical care and supplies our dogs need. Adoption fees cover only about half of the total cost of caring for a rescued golden in our program, the majority (86%) of which is for medical treatments. Sadly, the number of golden retrievers who have entered our program, and the costs related to their medical care, have dramatically increased over the past several years.
When you make a tax-deductible gift to the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue, you can be assured that your donation is directly supporting golden retrievers rescued through our program, and allowing us to continue to provide help to others in the years to come.
Thank you for your support.
