26 for 26: Changing Lives, One Golden at a Time
As Golden Retriever Rescue of Michigan celebrates 26 years of rescue in 2026, we launched our 26 for 26 Fundraiser with a simple goal: help provide life-changing care for the Goldens who need us most.
Every dog who enters GRRoM has a story. Some need emergency medical care. Some need diagnostics to uncover hidden health challenges. Others need training, rehabilitation, or simply the time and support to become the dogs they were always meant to be.
Through the generosity of our supporters, we're already making an incredible impact.
Our goal is to raise $26,000 in honor of 26 years of rescue, allowing us to continue saying "yes" when the next dog in need arrives.
Follow along as we celebrate the Goldens whose lives are being changed through this campaign.

✓ Angel
Fundraising Goal: $1,500
Status: Goal Met! 🎉
Angel is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever who came into rescue with her bonded companion, Lexi, after their owner's life circumstances changed dramatically.
During her veterinary evaluation, Angel was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. Because early treatment is critical for the best possible outcome, surgery was scheduled quickly to remove the mass.
Thanks to our incredible supporters, Angel's fundraising goal was fully met, allowing her surgery to move forward. We are currently awaiting pathology results to determine any future treatment needs.
Thank you for helping Angel receive the care she deserved.

✓ Chance
Fundraising Goal: $1,500
Status: Goal Met! 🎉
Chance recently entered rescue showing concerning weakness in his hind legs. To determine the cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, he required a comprehensive veterinary workup and diagnostic testing.
Because of donor support, Chance's fundraising goal was reached, allowing us to move forward with the testing needed to better understand his condition.
We continue to monitor his progress and will share updates as we learn more.

□ Maddie & Rielly
Current Fundraising Focus
Maddie and Rielly are a bonded pair of Goldens who recently entered GRRoM's care. Together, they have a journey ahead of them as they work toward improved health and wellness.
Both dogs are significantly overweight and will require veterinary oversight, nutritional management, and ongoing support to help them safely lose weight and improve their quality of life.
As a bonded pair, they have always relied on one another, and we are committed to helping them succeed together. Follow along on their journey on their Instagram Page!
Fundraising Goal: $1,600 each for $3,200 total.
Amount Raised: TBD
Dogs Still to Come
One thing we've learned in 26 years of rescue is that there is always another dog who needs help.
A senior needing surgery.
A young dog needing diagnostics.
A bonded pair searching for stability.
A frightened surrender learning to trust again.
Every dollar raised through our 26 for 26 campaign helps ensure that when the next call comes, GRRoM can answer it.
Thank you for helping us rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Goldens in need.
Together, we're changing lives—one Golden at a time.
