🐶 This Valentines Day we’d love to introduce you to the Golden Hearts Club! 💛
500 Golden Hearts. $5 a Month. Countless Lives Saved.
Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue is on a mission to rescue, rehab, and adopt Golden Retrievers in need—but we can’t do it without YOU. With the rising cost of veterinary care, more Goldens than ever need urgent medical help. Adoption fees aren’t enough to cover their care, and 86% of our funds go directly to lifesaving treatment.
That’s where YOU come in! For just $5 a month—less than the cost of your morning coffee—you can give a Golden the second chance they deserve. ❤️🐾
✨ Join the Golden Hearts Club today and be one of the 500 golden-hearted supporters who make a lasting impact! ✨
💛 Click, Donate, Done. Set it & Forget it—your gift works all year long!

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.
