2021 Statistics
through March
30 Dogs Rescued
37 Dogs in Rehab
22 Dogs Adopted
Thank you for stopping by to see the dogs ready for adoption. There are typically between 35 and 45 dogs in our program at any given time – some will stay with us longer than others as they overcome their medical or behavioral challenges. The costs to run our rescue are well over $200,000 per year. Click here to learn how you can support NRGRR rescue, rehab, and adopt these dogs in need. Visit our Blarney's Fund page to read about some of our dogs who came into our program with serious medical issues and learn how we helped them recover.
NOTE: To adopt one of our dogs, you must be a resident of North Carolina and reside within 100 miles of Raleigh, NC. Due to the impact of COVID-19 we have seen a temporary fall off in the number of dogs in need of rescue and a drastic increase in the number of applications. Until further notice provided on this section of our website, this distance restriction applies to new applications. Once this situation eases we will go back to our existing requirements.
If you are just beginning the process to apply for one of our posted dogs, please be aware that previously approved applicants will be given priority.
Reminder for approved applicants: To apply for one or more available dogs, contact your applications advisor. Don't know who your advisor is? Email NRGRRapplications@hotmail.com.

Applications Closed
Referral Dogs (not in our program)
We provide listings for referral dogs and other North Carolina dog rescue organizations as a service to the community, but we do not screen dogs to determine their suitability for adoption. We make no representations regarding the accuracy of the information provided by the owners, fosters, and rescues, and we assume no responsibility for the condition or behavior of the dogs.
Bentli
Southeastern Virginia Golden Retriever Rescue, Education, and Training! ( SEVA GRREAT)
SEVA GRREAT is looking for a family for Golden Retriever, Bentli. She is a sweet dog who loves her humans but doesn't necessarily like other dogs. Because of that, she needs to be an only dog. She is an energetic dog, needs a high fence around her back yard and a family without small children.
Even with a pool of approved families, they have not found the right fit for Bentli. There is more information on SEVA GRREAT's Facebook page and on the SEVA GRREAT webpage.
If you think you are the right family for her, email the adoption coordinator directly at adoptions@adoptagolden.com. Send an email describing your family, including the ages of any children in your home, and what your house and yard are like.
