Home visits will be scheduled with a GRRoM volunteer once we review your application.

The above steps need to be completed whether you are planning to adopt or foster. Many of our families end up adopting their foster placements which is why the application is combined.

Testimonials From GRRoM Families

  • Easy to Work With

    Having fostered for a number of rescues I can say that GRRoM is the easiest to work with. They're attentive and responsive. Vet visits are paid for at the time of service so there's no hassle with trying to get reimbursed. Any specialty equipment that's needed is often available.

  • Fostering a Golden is Rewarding

    You get to choose which dogs you want to foster based on the info that's known about them. The very best thing about fostering a Golden is the knowledge that for this dog you have turned their life around. You'll see that gratitude and love in their eyes and tails every day. Please consider becoming a foster.

  • Worth Supporting

    GRRoM truly cares about the future of the dogs in their care and they work tirelessly to ensure the best outcome possible. We feel good about supporting GRRoM with our donation dollars, our time volunteering, and also having the honor of adopting one of their Goldens!
