Our mission is simple yet powerful - to provide these beloved and majestic creatures with a second chance at life and the opportunity to experience the unconditional love they deserve. With unwavering commitment and the support of our amazing volunteers, we work tirelessly to rescue Golden Retrievers/Mixed Breeds from neglect, abuse, and abandonment, providing them with essential medical care, grooming, and plenty of tender loving care. Our ultimate goal is to find each rescue dog their perfect forever home, where they can live out their golden years as cherished family members. Together, we believe in making a difference, one wagging tail at a time. Join us in our journey of compassion and hope as we strive to give these beautiful souls the freedom they so rightfully deserve. Our Mission:
Our mission is to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and adopt abused, neglected, and unwanted Golden Retrievers and Mixed Breed Dogs to permanent homes. All of our Goldens/Mixed Breeds are currently in foster homes which enables GRFR to better assess the temperament of each Golden/Mixed Breed for matching to the appropriate permanent home and provides prospective owners the opportunity to visit the Golden/Mixed Breed in a non-kennel environment.

🚨 Foster or Adopter Needed! Arriving in Colorado on 11/12 🚨

Please share!

Meet Toby — a 1½-year-old neutered boy with a big heart and an even bigger personality! 💛

This happy-go-lucky, goofy pup LOVES the outdoors and can’t wait to make Colorado his new home. He’s happiest when he has room to run, roll, and play — especially with other dogs! 🐾 Toby gets along great with canine friends of all shapes and sizes.

He’s currently in a rural shelter that’s overcrowded, and his life is at risk simply because there’s no space. 💔 GRFR couldn’t turn away this sweet boy, but we need your help to give him a safe place to land.

🐶 No known history with cats or kids
🏔️ Arriving 11/12 and ready for a fresh start

Can you open your heart and home to Toby — even temporarily? ❤️

🐾 Calling our GRFR Family! 🐾

Are you missing something in your life? Maybe a loyal, four-legged friend who thinks you’re absolutely amazing? 💛 Meet Stella — the sweetest 4-year-old yellow Lab who’s ready to fill your days with love, naps, and tail wags! Stella is over 80lbs, but full of love. She is not overweight she is just a big dog.

Stella is everything you could want in a companion — she’s housebroken, great in the car, loves her walks, and adores curling up on the couch with her favorite human. She’s respectful of your things (unless it’s a squeaky toy… those don’t stand a chance 😉).

She’d love a family where someone works from home — a cozy dog bed by your desk would make her the happiest “co-worker” ever. She gets along well with other dogs and loves meeting new people. She already knows “sit” and can’t wait to learn more!

If you meet this girl, you’ll fall head over heels. ❤️

🐶 Let’s help Stella find her forever home!

Please share this post with your friends, family, and fellow dog lovers — her perfect match could be just a click away!

🕰️🐾 Daylight Savings: An Extra Hour of Sleep (for You… maybe not for Your Dog!) 🐾🕰️

Don’t forget — Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, November 2! That means you get to enjoy an extra hour of sleep 😴… unless your Golden has other plans!

Dogs don’t know the clocks changed, so breakfast, walks, and playtime might still be “right on schedule” — at least according to them! 🐶☀️

Here are a few tips to help your pup adjust smoothly:

💛 Shift gradually — Start adjusting feeding and walk times by 10–15 minutes a day leading up to Sunday.
🦮 Stick to routine — Keep their schedule consistent after the change to help them adapt.
🍽️ Watch for hunger cues — Your pup may seem a bit impatient at first, but they’ll settle into the new rhythm soon.
🌙 Use the extra hour wisely — More cuddle time, anyone?

So, enjoy that extra hour — whether it’s for sleeping in, sipping coffee, or sneaking in an early morning snuggle with your Golden. 💛

🎃🐾 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Golden! 🐾🎃

Spooky season is all fun and games—until your pup gets into the candy bowl! 👻🍬 Keep your Golden safe and stress-free this Halloween with these simple tips from all of us at Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue:

🧡 No Tricks, No Treats (of the human kind!)
Chocolate, xylitol, raisins, and candy wrappers can be toxic to dogs. Keep the candy far out of paw’s reach!

🕯️ Watch the Decorations
Glow sticks, candles, and fake cobwebs can look like toys to a curious Golden. Keep things dog-proof and flame-free.

🚪 Doorbell Drama?
All those trick-or-treaters can be a bit much for some pups. Set up a quiet space away from the front door with their bed, favorite toys, and calming music.

👻 Costume Comfort Comes First
If your Golden is dressing up, make sure costumes don’t restrict movement, vision, or breathing—and never leave them unsupervised while in costume.

🌙 Keep ID Tags On
With the door opening and closing all night, there’s always a chance of a quick escape. Make sure your dog’s tags and microchip info are up to date—just in case!

Let’s keep Halloween happy and safe for our four-legged friends. 💛 Share a photo of your Golden in their (safe and comfy!) costume—we’d love to see them! 🐶🎃

Our Story

We are Animal Rescuers. We take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures without planning for selection. We are a quiet but determined army, and we are making a difference every day. Nothing is more rewarding than saving a life. No higher recognition than watching them thrive. There is no greater joy than seeing a puppy play, who only days ago, was too weak to eat. By the love of those who we have been privileged to rescue, we have been rescued. We know what unconditional love really is. We have seen it shining in the eyes of so many grateful little souls. We are animal rescuers. Our work is never done. Our homes are never quiet but our hearts are always full.
