Dogs Currently in Foster Care

These are the Goldens currently being fostered by volunteers in GRRoW. We match our Goldens in foster care to each applicant based on criteria noted on the adoption application and home visit report. It is very easy to fall in love with a picture or a story, but that picture or story may not truly match what you are looking for in a dog. For this reason, we do not allow potential adopters to select the dog they would like to adopt. 

Our primary concern is the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of Golden Retrievers in our state. Therefore, we first consider all applicants in the State of WI for placement of GRRoW dogs. We encourage your to contact the rescue organization in your state.

 

Applications for SENIOR & SPECIAL NEEDS GOLDENS needed!

 

We continue to have an urgent need for applicants interested in one of our senior or special needs dogs.  However, due to an influx in applications, the wait time for younger dogs could be anywhere from 6 months to one year.  Please keep these wait times in mind when completing your application.

 

If you are interested in adopting a Golden from GRRoW, please access our Adoption page for further information regarding our adoption process.

Disclaimer: GRRoW dog updates reflect observations of the dogs while in their foster homes. We recognize that different observers may reach different conclusions about the nature of dog behaviors. Therefore, we have used our best judgment based on our experience, to ensure that the information provided in our dog updates is accurate and helpful.

At this time, we are NOT accepting any adoption applications outside of Wisconsin.  We encourage you to locate the rescue organization closest to you.
