NORCAL Golden Retriever Rescue

Foster Home Application

Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to finding new homes for displaced Golden Retrievers. Before placing our dogs into permanent homes, they are often placed in Foster homes. Our promise to these goldens is to find them a new loving home. The foster family provides a valuable bridge for the rescued dog. By living in your home environment and being exposed to "daily life situations" you can help train the golden, as well as provide an important evaluation so the golden can then be matched with the best home for him.

Please list husband and wife names, if applicable.
For example, "Sam and Suzie".
