There will also be a presentation by Andrei Markovits, author of From Property to Family: American Dog Rescue and the Discourse of Compassion, on the history of the breed-specific rescue movement of which Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue was one of the pioneers.
The event will be taking place from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Hudson, MA.

Since its formation in 1985, YGRR has found homes for nearly 5,000 Golden Retrievers in New England. The success of Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue has been the result of the efforts of hundreds of devoted Golden Retriever-loving volunteers. Their mission is to provide comprehensive medical care, behavioral evaluations, and adoptive homes to homeless Golden Retrievers in the six New England states. Goldens may be admitted to YGRR from outside New England on a case-by-case basis.
