Surrendering a dog to GRRIN: GRRIN's network for sheltering, rehabilitating, and placing Golden Retrievers into permanent homes is centered around our Foster Home program. Prospective adopters can rest assured knowing GRRIN has committed much time and energy to caring for all of our dogs in a family setting. Foster care continues as long as necessary, allowing GRRIN time to find the perfect, permanent home for the dog. Dogs accepted by GRRIN are recognizable as Golden Retrievers, including dogs abandoned or found as strays. dogs confiscated for abuse or neglect, dogs surrendered to animal shelters or veterinarians, and dogs voluntarily surrendered by their owners. Prior to being accepted by GRRIN, dogs are evaluated for adoptability, which includes assessing their physical condition, temperament and behavior. Surrrendering owners will be required to sign a transfer of ownership form when their dog is accepted into the GRRIN program. They will also be asked to prepare the dog to enter rescue by updating needed veterinary care. If owners are unable or unwilling to complete the dog's medical needs, a donation will be requested to help GRRIN pay for veterinary care. All Golden Retrievers in the GRRIN program will be spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, tested for heartworms and intestinal parasites, and receive all other needed medical treatment prior to adoption. GRRIN will not disclose the identities of the surrendering owner or the adopter to each other. All pertinent information regarding a dog's physical condition, temperament and behavior will be shared with prospective adopters by the dogs' Caseworker and Foster Family. Prospective adopters are thoroughly screened by GRRIN, via two phone interviews and an in-depth home visit. GRRIN's ultimate goal is to make the perfect match for the Golden and the family, therefore much attention is given to understanding the needs of both. Contact: (402) 330-6680 or info@grrin.org |
