Shelter
Golden Huggs Rescue Inc
Mission
Golden Huggs Rescue is a small rescue run entirely by volunteers. We have made it our mission to find loving suitable homes for displaced, abandoned, or stray dogs with golden personalities. We work with volunteers in New England and with our partner rescue groups outside of New England.
Our dogs come to us in different ways: relinquished by their owners, found as strays, or abandoned at a shelter. It doesn’t matter how we find them, we take them into our rescue, provide veterinary care, evaluate their behavior with regards to their age and temperament, and match them with their best adoptive home.
All of our volunteers have rescued and placed dogs for years. We are committed to decreasing the numbers of dogs euthanized at overcrowded shelters, primarily in the south.
Adoption Policy
Applicants often ask how long it will take to adopt a dog. That can sometimes be a difficult question to answer. Often, we have approved adopters waiting in the wings or because of social media we may get inundated with new applications.  We ask for your patience and understanding so our volunteers can process applications, evaluate dogs, conduct phone interviews and arrange home visits.  This can sometimes take time and is really a matter of matching the right dog for the right family. This does not reflect negatively on any one applicant.  We look forward to learning more about you!
