Meet WAAGR's Special Needs Dogs
Sometimes, WAAGR takes in dogs that need a little more TLC.  Maybe the dog has a broken bone, a some medical condition that takes a little more time to diagnose, or even something like heartworm.  Whatever the case, WAAGR wants to help give dogs the best possible chance at a new life and to help them find their forever homes.

 To donate for any of our special needs dogs, click here to go to the Special Needs page.


Volunteer Opportunities With WAAGR!
(Foster Homes Needed)

Have you wanted to help WAAGR and not known where to start!  There are many opportunities for members to volunteer!  One of the main areas we could use some help right now is foster homes.  This means your home would be a place to stay for the dogs until they are ready to be adopted out!  You would also be part of the process to decide your foster dog's "forever home."

Other volunteer opportunities include:
Assessment - Visit and evaluate a golden retriever needing to be surrendered prior to being brought into our organization. Training is required.
Education - Provide information to the general public to aid in responsible dog ownership and to reduce abuse and neglect of all animals.
Transport - Provide transportation for displaced goldens from a surrendered home or shelter to their foster family.

Check out our complete list of volunteer activities by clicking here.


Missing golden
We received this flyer on our general email account and wanted to help bring Basil home.  Basil, an 8-year-old male, has been missing since early
October 2008 in the Chicago area.
