WELCOME TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE
Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue (MTGRR) is a volunteer-operated, non-profit organization dedicated to new beginnings for displaced Golden Retrievers. Our purpose is to facilitate the adoption of displaced and unwanted Golden Retrievers; to provide a good quality of life for homeless Golden Retrievers; to reduce the abuse and neglect of unwanted Golden Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption, and to seek to reduce the number of unwanted Golden Retrievers. Further, we provide public education by means of brochures, a newsletter and canine education events about responsible pet ownership and the Golden Retriever breed.
Featured Success Story "TOBY"
Toby is a particularly happy Success Story as he was so "hard to place". Toby is a high energy and intelligent dog that grew up lacking attention, exercise, and consistent, patient obedience. As a result, he had many bad habits and had an issue with "anxiety digging" which he would start doing as soon as he got outside. (This likely developed when he was young and left in the yard alone for several hours.) Toby's original family found him a home with some neighbors, but they too didn't have enough time for him, so he came to the rescue a two time loser. HOWEVER, MTGRR worked hard to find just the right fit for him, and now Toby is happy and well behaved in his forever home. His mom reports that he is "wonderful" and "perfect". She says he is getting lots of attention and exercise, which has addressed all his issues, including the anxiety digging (which some thought he couldn't be cured of.) Toby is finally in the home that he deserves, and he is doing great. MTGRR couldn't be happier for Toby. (link to more photos) Here is Toby (left) and his new best friend, Sassy (right)
