Loving Foster Homes Are Vital to
the Mission of Rescue!
Open your Heart and Home today?

Volunteering your time as a Foster Parent is a rewarding experience... and it means all the difference in the world to our deserving Goldens, many of whom will come to know love and kindness for the first time... in your home, your hands and your heart.

The Golden in your care may or may not have medical or recuperative needs, which may mean their activity and play must be restricted... but all costs are covered by GRRH.

Fostering is an investment of your love, attention and care. And the rewards are endless...
Please open your heart today?


Reap the Rewards of Rescue...
Volunteer Today!

Passionate volunteers are the soul of GRRH. And the number of Goldens we are able to rescue is limited only by the depth of our volunteer resources.

Please consider offering your time, no matter how limited, to one of our teams: Intake, Foster, Transport, Adoptions, Communications and/or Events! Every task is important... whether picking a dog up at a vet clinic or writing a thank you note! Each minute invested is critical to our Goldens!

FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS PROVIDE OUR GOLDENS A FOUNDATION

Foster relationships are vital to our Rescue Mission, as they serve as both the foundation upon which our Goldens establish a new life... and a bridge between the fear and uncertainty of their past and the unconditional love of their future forever home.

Our Goldens often feel scared and distrustful, but as all Goldens... they yearn to learn!

The foster home offers a secure home environment where they learn of love, comfort, boundaries and manners. And the insight provided by the foster relationship plays a key role in matching a Golden with a forever adoption opportunity..

If you can help foster, even short term, please email us. We can find you a dog that is a good match for your home. We have them in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages!
View them all on our Available page!

Foster homes are the bridge between the Golden Retriever rescued by GRRH and their new adoptive family.

GOLDEN RETRIEVERS

If you are considering including a
Golden Retriever
in your family,
please read about the breed!

It's imperative, not only for you but for the Golden, that you are familiar with their physical traits, disposition and needs.


 

OPEN YOUR HEART TO ADOPTION

Consider the opportunity of sharing your life with a Golden Retriever! It's a serious commitment, but if you open your heart, you will experience more love, laughter and joy than you can imagine! See our gorgeous Goldens who are available for adoption!

 

Please note that adoptions are made to qualified candidates. Our adoption requirements are thorough and stringent, and our ultimate goal is to ensure a proper match between the adopting home and the Golden.

GRRH is founded on the love and honor of Golden Retrievers. Inspired by the joys and memories of sharing our lives with a Golden, our volunteers give countless and tireless hours of time to find, transport, foster, train and support and find loving forever homes for those less fortunate.

As part of the GRRH Mission, we often rescue beautiful and deserving Goldens that other organizations overlook. For that reason, many of the Goldens taken into the GRRH family are suffering in some way from neglect or abuse.

We also opt for treatment protocols that are more costly in order to minimize the impact on the spirit and lifespan of our precious Goldens. Recovery time is often longer, and the costs of such treatments are often staggering... but the investment is worthwhile, as we watch each Golden recover and move into the forever home they need and deserve.

And frankly, there's no more honorable and fitting way to celebrate the life of a Golden Retriever who's loved... than to dedicate time or funds toward one who's so fortunate!

It is with your continued support that we can continue to carry on our Mission.Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the many Golden Retrievers who desperately need our care.
