Next Steps:
Please read through the form again to ensure you have been as thorough as possible! It will improve your dog’s chance to find a new home. Once the form is submitted a volunteer will be in contact with you to discuss any questions you may have about our process or that we have about your dog.

GRRMF is an all-volunteer organization, so we ask for your patience. We are all volunteers and have full time jobs, please be patient. If we can not admit your dog into our program, we will be in contact within 48 hours. If we have room in our program, arrangements will be made for you to drop off your dog or for a volunteer to meet you.

We ask that you bring copies of any all veterinary records and any other necessary paperwork at the time you release the dog into our care. Please note that summer months and holiday periods are our busiest times. To expedite the process, you can e-mail photos of your dog to intake@grrmf.org. Please include the dog’s name in the subject line and your name in the body of the e-mail. The photo is only to verify that your dog is, in fact, a golden retriever and will help streamline this process.
