Our goal in GRRIN is to get every foster dog to their forever home. Each “Happy Tail” is a reflection of the caring effort shared by volunteers and the families who open up their homes to a rescued Golden Retriever.

I’m so happy to be with my new family, and I hear they feel the same about me. I was a stray. A local shelter turned me over to GRRIN, because I was so stressed in the shelter. I get to go on a lot of walks and car rides. I love playing with my stuffed animals and rope toys too. I’ll do about anything for a treat! I have lots of love to share with everyone I meet.

Hi, I’m Lucky – in many ways! I’ve been adopted by Hal and Mary and their son Abram. I’ve adapted so well to my new family — they’re a lot of fun. We like to go on long walks, play fetch in the backyard, and I’m even learning some new tricks. We like to go to the dog park with my cousin Wally who’s a Boxer — talk about wide-open-spaces — we love to run and run and run! Everyone who meets me says I’m just a sweetheart — I have everyone wrapped around my little paw. My new family … Continue reading

I’m Lucy Lu, and I had to find a new home because the 7 year old that cared for me was suffering from severe allergies. I’ve made myself right at home with my new parents, and their kids Kari, Aaron and Brian. They laugh at me because I carry my stuffed puppy all around the house like it’s my baby. I even sleep with it! Another favorite toy is my squeaky football. I act a little goofy running around the back yard making it squeak. I love going on walks, playing Frisbee, chasing my tail, and getting tummy rubs. I … Continue reading

As soon as I met my foster parents and pushed my nose into their laps, I knew that they were good people. Tim and Nikki picked me up from the Vets office and took me to their home. There was another Golden there. Harry and I hit it off right away. It took a little longer to get to know their two other dogs, Roxanne and Anna, but I grew to love them, too. Even though they’re smaller than me I try to remember that they’re in charge. Steve the cat was a bit scary to me at first, but … Continue reading

My name is Sandy. It took me a while, but I finally found the perfect home. I’m spoiled as an only pet! I lived for almost 6 years in an outdoor kennel with very few possessions or attention. Now I get to go on walks, play fetch, go for car rides, and I’ll be traveling too. My new Mom even made me my own blanket that I like to carry around.
