Your application will be reviewed and a member of GRRoM will contact you for a telephone interview and to set up a home visit.


4. ONCE APPROVED

If you are approved, you will be given a list of the adoptable dogs you qualify for, including contact names and phone numbers. It will be your responsibility to arrange for visits directly with the foster homes and to request updated lists from your interviewer. The list is continually changing, so be prepared that some dogs on the list may no longer be available.

5. REQUIRED VISITS

To help assure that we have a suitable match between you and your golden companion, you will be required to visit 2 Goldens in their foster homes, along with your entire family (including your dogs), roommates, or other members living in your household. A reminder that our Goldens are located in foster homes all over Michigan.

6. ADOPTING A GOLDEN

If you find a dog that you would like to adopt, you will need to contact your interviewer.   The interviewer and foster care giver will make a determination regarding your adoption request. It is not uncommon to have multiple families interested in the same dog. If this occurs, a decision will be made based on what is in the best interest of the dog.

 

7. ADOPTION FEES:

If your adoption request is approved, the adoption fee will be required at that point, and a contract is signed with GRRoM binding you to the good care of the dog, and obligating you to notify GRRoM if your address changes and/or the dog is deceased.
