Permanent Foster Program

Samantha

Do you have the qualities of a great foster parent? Do you love golden retrievers? If so, then our Permanent Foster Parent program may be a place for you.

The Permanent Foster program provides a home to our rescued goldens who have a low probability of being adopted, perhaps due to a medical condition or disability. This program gives these dogs the opportunity to live in a loving home and still obtain the medical care they need for the rest of their lives.  In these special cases, GRCGLAR will pay for the medical costs, whereas the permanent foster family provides the food, care, and love.

Our volunteer Alice from Orange County became a permanent foster by fate. As a regular foster, Alice made the commitment to help our goldens find their forever home. However, one particular dog Dash had no interest for 2 years. "After becoming a permanent fixture here, Dash became more confident and always wants to do right" says Alice.

Her advice to future permanent foster parents comes from the heart. "Being open to the idea (of a permanent foster role) helps both me and the dog. Sometimes it takes time to know the history of a dog and I'm willing to make that commitment to see the dog become his/her true self. "
