GRRIN was founded in 1991 and is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. We provide a network for sheltering, rehabilitating and finding loving homes for Golden Retrievers in distress. For 34 years we have worked to place over 1300 dogs in wonderful “furever” homes. All of our work is carried out by volunteers who give their time to transport dogs, screen potential adopters, man our phone line, and open their homes to a foster dog that will ultimately be adopted by a loving family.
Why does GRRIN need donors? The majority of our funds cover veterinary expenses. In 2024, our total dog expenses were $38,048, an average of $845 for the 45 dogs in our care. These expenses have grown more than 30% over the last ten years. Veterinary expenses include spay and neuter procedures and diagnostic and surgical care when needed. In addition, monthly heartworm and parasite prevention are administered to each foster dog along with annual vaccinations and a microchip. We had a record number of dogs enter GRRIN that were not spayed or neutered, an unexpected expense. We are extremely grateful to have the resources to care for every foster dog to make sure they are healthy and ready for adoption!
