I have 3 GRR dogs living in my house, and I am so amazed and grateful to have found this group. It is 100% volunteer organization, and so every cent goes toward the care of the Golden Retrievers that become GRR Goldens. Every single decision made is centered around the dogs - not around egos, or around special interests. Their process takes just a bit of time - but it is so worth it.
We have adopted two Golden Retrievers from Gold Ribbon Rescue and would recommend them for anyone looking to foster or adopt. The volunteers are great to work with and are extremely thorough with the process. We had phone interviews and a home visit to make sure that everything would be secure for one of their dogs. I compare it to the process we went through when we adopted our son 28 years ago. This is a truly caring organization with great volunteers.
Do not sign up to foster for this organization. They have an application fee (because they have you fill out the adoption form to sign up to foster), and then don't contact you. Even emailing and calling them doesn't generate a response. They eventually did contact me (a month later), but had no idea that I'd already complained and told them never mind two weeks earlier (because they were clearly not interested or ridiculously unorganized). I realize they're volunteers, but when your website says "we need foster families badly", you would think that you'd take two minutes to reply to an email and say, "we've received your email and are going to get back to you". That's just common courtesy. If you're interested in fostering, I'd suggest fostering for anyone else. I contacted multiple other organizations and they reviewed, approved, and communicated with me immediately.
I recently became acquainted with one of their volunteers and I can only say if all of their volunteers are like Debra Wynn then this whole organization is 100% on the ball!
