Fairfax County (Michael R. Frey) Animal Shelter

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called Golden Retriever Rescue, Education and Training, Inc. (GREAT) is committed to helping unwanted, stray, and abandoned Golden Retrievers find loving new homes. We are a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers that provides services to Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia, eastern West Virginia, and south central Pennsylvania. Each year, GRREAT places about 100 Golden Retrievers. Additionally, we work to inform the public about the traits of the Golden Retriever breed and the benefits of adopting a rescued dog.

Mutt Love Rescue is pleased to announce that we will once again be doing adoption events on Saturdays at Weber's Pet Supermarket.
