Intake Information
 If
you have a Golden Retriever that you would like to place into
our program, please call our voice-mail number (336-288-9944)
and leave a message with your phone number including area code
on Line 2. Our intake coordinator monitors this line Monday through
Friday and will return your call as soon as possible. Please
remember that long distance calls will be returned collect. You
can also contact the coordinator by sending an email to intake@tgrr.org.
We will ask for preliminary information when we talk with you
on the phone and, if your dog seems like a good candidate for
our program, we will set up an appointment to meet you and the
dog at the veterinary hospital which cares for our dogs.
At the intake appointment we will ask you to:
- hand in a copy of your dog's vet
records showing that all shots are up to
date
- complete a form giving us more
information about the dog and signing the
animal over to TGRR for legal purposes
- make a donation to
TGRR to help defray the costs of caring for your dog until
we can place him or her with a new family - (the amount typically
depends on whether the dog is spayed/neutered and up-to-date
on shots)
All Goldens are evaluated for temperament and obvious physical
problems before being taken into the program. In most cases the
intake appointment takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
