Fosters

NORCALGOLDENRETRIEVER RESCUE is always looking for loving foster families for the dogs in our care. We do not have a sanctuary and do not believe in boarding our dogs as we evaluate the best forever home. Fosters remain our most important volunteers.  Fosters take in surrendered dogs who need a safe home right away; they transport and complete the vet visits and ensure our dogs are current on all medical procedures and otherwise care for the dog as if it were their own while in their custody.  Our fosters are compassionate, giving people, willing to invest their time and talent to help a dog in need.

NGRR covers all dog care expenses.

If you are interested in becoming an NGRR foster, see our Online Foster Application. One of our members will contact you and arrange an interview.

PLEASE NOTE: Most of our qualified families are looking to support calm dogs that get along with other dogs. As you can imagine, those goldens are placed very quickly! What we are most in need of are dog-training-smart fosters that can support a dog that may need to be the only dog (and usually, no cats) and can transport for possible ongoing medical care. If you can help with these needs, please submit a foster application.
