Adoption Application

A non-refundable $25 application fee is required. For faster processing, payment by credit card is accepted on our Donations page. The process will not begin until the application and application fee are received by GRRoW.

Please note that applications may take up to 14 days to process.

Attention:  Due to the overwhelming amount of adoption applicants, the wait time for dogs that are NOT seniors or special needs may approach or exceed one year.  If you are interested in a senior or special needs golden, the wait time may be decreased.  Please consider this before submitting your application and fee.  Thank you for considering GRRoW!

A check may be made payable and mailed to:

Sara Westgor - GRRoW Treasurer
