GRIN tries to make every effort to keep this page current and up to date. Please keep in mind that by the time you submit an application and are going through the approval process, some of dogs pictured below may already be in the process of meeting and being adopted by other approved applicants.

The average ages of our rescued Goldens are 6-10 years of age, however GRIN does occasionally receive younger dogs that are in need of a home.  If you are interested in adopting a young dog, please do not wait until you see one on our website to apply for adoption.  Our approval process takes approximately 2-4 weeks to complete and by the time you have been approved for adoption, the younger dog will have already been placed into a loving home. Please start the application process now so that you can be on a waiting list for when GRIN does have younger dogs available.

Say a little prayer for Rusty. This handsome boy is a recent breeder relinquishment. He’s scared as can be, skittish, and overwhelmed. He is in his foster home, and they’re going slow with him. We’ll report back on his progress, we’re confident he’ll adjust.

Foster Update: 5/4/26

Hi, I’m Rusty.  While I am still figuring things out in my new foster home, I really, really love being outside with my dog friends, it’s my favorite place to run, play, and feel like I belong. Sometimes the world feels a little scary, especially when there are loud noises or quick movements, & while I might flinch or retreat to my bed, I’m trying my best to be brave every day. What I do know for sure is that I love giving kisses and soaking up all the pets I can get from my foster parents.  I’m also learning how to walk on a leash, one step at a time.  Even though it’s new for me, I’m starting to understand that it means more chances to explore and be with my people.
