Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc., is a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization based in West Virginia and is not affiliated with any other organization having the same or similar name. Almost Heaven accepts senior or “special needs” Goldens from shelters, owner give-ups, and other rescues and is a refuge for those Golden Retrievers who otherwise may be labeled “hard to adopt” or “unadoptable” by ordinary standards. Some of our Sanctuary Goldens are only with us until they become well enough to be adopted, or until that “special” home is found. Others will receive love and care here at the Sanctuary for the rest of their lives. No Golden Retriever is ever turned away from Almost Heaven because of age or health. Each Golden here is considered a valued member of our “family”.
