Surrender Questions and Answers

How to surrender a Golden to GRIN?
At GRIN we understand it may not always be possible for owners to provide for their pets in dire situations. Divorce, finances, illness, death, job loss, allergies and time management are just some of the life changes that factor into a decision to surrender a dog. As gut wrenching as it can be, surrendering a dog is always the right solution and we are here to support you.
If I chose to surrender my dog, what can I expect?
GRIN’s intake volunteers will make outreach to discuss the dog and make arrangements to take ownership of the dog. The dog will then be seen by GRIN’s vet partner for a medical examination and to provide any needed medical care. After the vet visit, GRIN will move the dog to a foster home where he/she will stay for a minimum of 2 weeks. After the foster period, GRIN will begin matching the dog to an appropriate adoptive family.
