For every Golden Retriever that is rescued from neglect, homelessness, despair – or simply needs a new home – there is a dedicated cadre of volunteers working behind the scenes on behalf of that dog.
From the moment we learn that a Golden needs us, our volunteers spring into action. Our highly organized teams pitch in to arrange for the surrender of the dog, the search for potential adopters, transportation to a foster or adopter’s home, and veterinarian care to restore the animal to health and vigor. Others handle phone calls, home visits, donations, membership, events, fundraising, governance, and the technology needs of our organization. Excellent training is always provided.
Here is how you can help!

Here is one need that is ongoing – Foster Families!
Become a part of our foster team and provide a temporary home for a Golden in need. It’s incredibly rewarding! You’ll go through the same screening process as adoptive families. Once approved, you decide which dogs come into your home and provide daily care, training, and socialization. Of course, you will have the continual support of our vet care and behavioral teams. It’s a great way to help a Golden Retriever start its journey to a new life!
