CARE – GRCA Committee to Assist Rescue Efforts
The mission and purpose of the GRCA Committee to Assist Rescue Efforts (GRCA CARE) is to support and further the objectives of the Golden Retriever Club of America by providing a network for collaboration among those Golden Retriever rescues that meet published criteria for affiliation. CARE conducts an annual survey of all Golden Retriever Rescue organizations, which is used to help determine allocation of Golden Retriever Foundation (GRF) funding and also to provide input to the GRCA for future policy decisions. GRCA CARE acts as liaison between the GRF and local rescues with respect to grant funding, especially funding used toward rehabilitation of rescued dogs in need of veterinary care. More detailed information can be found on the GRF website at https://www.goldenretrieverfoundation.org (https://www.goldenretrieverfoundation.org)
