🐾 Exciting News! 🐾

This handsome retriever mix, Midnight will be arriving on 9/18 and heading straight to his loving foster home, where he’ll start his new journey toward finding a forever family! 💛

Midnight is a 1-2 yr old Male retriever mix. He’s already neutered, up to date on shots, and good with other dogs. We don’t have history with kids or cats, so slow introductions would be best.

He’s ready to begin his next chapter full of love, kindness, and stability—and we can’t wait to see him blossom. ✨ Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for?

💛 Senior Spotlight Update 💛

Remember Brooklyn? This sweet senior is now Josie and she’s settling beautifully into her forever home! 🐾 Her adopters share:

✨ Josie is doing great with people and other dogs, though she’s not much of a walker.
✨ She now happily hops up when it’s time to go potty.
✨ She had her very first groom last week and looks amazing!
✨ She’s slowly warming up to her new dad and is fitting right in with her three fur sisters.

Her family says, “We can’t wait to see her first tail wag!” 🥹

Josie’s story is why we do what we do. Seniors like her deserve love, safety, and comfort — and thanks to your support, we can make that happen. 💛

🐶 Our online auction is live until September 20th — this is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Every donation, every bid, and every dollar raised helps us continue rescuing Goldens like Josie and giving them a second chance.

🌟🐾 Meet Our 2025 Auction Ambassador: Park Ranger Teddy (formerly Tipton)! 🐾🌟

Teddy has settled into his forever home beautifully, and his family couldn’t be happier they “foster failed” with this sweet boy. At just 17 months old, he’s calm, gentle, and already living up to his nickname—Park Ranger Ted—because he insists on greeting every person and pup he meets. 💛

When he’s not on duty as a social butterfly, Teddy loves attempting to swim (using only his front legs 🤪💦) and showing off his wonderfully silly personality.

This year, Teddy is putting his paw of approval on something very special: our Paws for a Cause Online Silent Auction—our biggest fundraiser of the year! 🐕✨ With Teddy as your guide, you’ll find an unbelievable array of one-of-a-kind items waiting for your bids.

👉 Browse.
👉 Bid (and rebid if you’re outbid!).
👉 Share with your friends.
👉 And most of all—join us in thanking this incredible community for your continued support!

📅 Auction runs September 13–20, 2025.
💛 All proceeds benefit Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue.

Let’s make Ranger Teddy proud! 🐾

🎉🐾 We can’t wait to see everyone TOMORROW at our Union Reservoir Annual Reunion! 🐾🎉

It’s going to be a tail-wagging good time filled with Goldens, friends, and fun. 💛 While Union Reservoir does have an off-leash dog beach, please remember: your pups MUST remain on leash when not at the beach.

A few safety tips to help keep the day fun for everyone:
✨ Bring plenty of fresh water for your pup (lake water isn’t for drinking).
✨ Keep an eye on your dog’s body language — lots of dogs = lots of excitement!
✨ Don’t forget the sunscreen — yes, pups with light noses can burn too!
✨ Scoop the p**p — let’s keep the area clean for everyone.
✨ Most of all, have fun and soak in all the Golden smiles!

We can’t wait to celebrate with our GRFR family — see you there! 🐶💦☀️

💛 Emma’s Living the Good Life! 💛

“Emma is my wonderful, wonderful adopted puppy. She loves her backyard, loves playing ball, loves having toys… and I think she even loves me. 🥹 I was just thinking today, I should let y’all know that she is living the good life with me, and I’m living the good life with her. Thank you so much for bringing her to me.”

Stories like Emma’s remind us why senior dogs deserve a chance:
✨ They still have so much love to give.
✨ They’re often already house-trained and have great manners.
✨ They fit right into routines and love soaking up every bit of affection.
✨ They remind us that second chances create the sweetest bonds.

Emma may be a senior, but she proves every day that age is just a number when it comes to love. 🐾💛

💛 Yes, we’re a Golden Retriever rescue, but when there aren’t many Goldens needing us at the moment, GRFR steps up to help other dogs in need. 🐾
Right now, we have some wonderful mixes looking for their forever homes. They may not all be Goldens, but they deserve the same love, kindness, and second chance.
✨ Meet Lacey & Brie ✨
These two sweet 1-2 year-old girls are arriving soon and are ready for a brand-new start. 💛
Both were sadly neglected and came to us very thin, but with love and care they will blossom. They’re good with other dogs and looking for families who can show them the kindness they deserve. Both girls are now about 45-50lbs🐾

Could you be the one to give Lacey or Brie their forever home? 🏡💫

Please consider opening your heart and home to one of these sweet pups—you might just find your perfect match! 🏡❤️
