Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gentle Giants-Rudi is a handsome 5-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever with an old-soul personality who is part of a bonded pair. He weighs 112 lbs and is working toward an ideal weight of around 90 lbs.
Calm, gentle, and sweet, Rudi is somewhat reserved but surprisingly affectionate. He seeks out cuddles without being clingy and loves to relax close to his people. He walks beautifully on leash and knows sit, stay, leave it, off, and down—his recall is selective but reliable.
Rudi does well with dogs, cats, birds, and young children. He especially loves cats and happily follows them around grooming them. He’s allowed on the couch but not the bed. Rudi is a cuddly “mini polar bear” and a truly special boy.
Kenna and Rudi are a bonded pair. Kenna is the alpha and they are affectionate, playful, and well-behaved together. They don’t require crating, aren’t excessive barkers, and integrate well with other animals and people. They’d make a wonderful addition to any family and have strong potential as therapy dogs.

Additional adoption info
GRRoW's Rescue's Adoption Process
Adoptions are simple, we always match the dog to the family and the family to the dog. Our Adoption process contains the following steps:
1. Contact the GRRoW Foster Coordinator via email about the dog you are interested in adopting.
2. A GRRoW Volunteer will reach out by phone to do an interview. If a good fit for the dog an adoption application link will be sent to you via email.
3. Complete our adoption application.
4. GRRoW will conduct a veterinary reference check and background check.
5. A GRRoW volunteer will contact you to set up a home visit.
6. GRRoW will determine and notify you if you are approved. If you are not approved, we will provide you with the reason we are not willing to allow you to adopt this particular dog.
7. GRRoW will put you in contact with the foster family to further discuss the Golden Retriever that you are interested in.
If you, as the applicant would like to continue in the adoption process, a Meet and Greet is set up with the foster family. GRRoW does require you, as the potential adopter, to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet.
8. GRRoW foster families have the FINAL decision on the family that will adopt the Golden Retriever rescue.
NOTE: Considerations include application, home visit, meet and greet and overall best fit and safety considerations for the Golden Retriever rescue.
NOTE: The length of time the adoption approval process can vary and is dependent on the schedules and availability of our volunteers and the applicant(s). We ask that you please be patient through this process.
1. GRRoW does not hold dogs. If you are interested in a particular Golden Retriever, you should arrange to meet that dog as soon as possible following approval.
2. GRRoW is unable to ship our Goldens to other states.
Adoption fees are as follows:
< 1 year old: $500
1-7 years old: $400
7+ years old: $200
International Dogs: are the standard fee plus $250
If you’ve adopted a senior dog from GRRoW in the past, you may adopt another senior dog from GRRoW for $100. For international dogs, there is an additional $250 transport fee.
We are unable to accept "payment plans," but we are able to accept credit cards or checks. If you write us a check, we ask that you please ensure you have sufficient funds!
*All Golden Retriever rescues come with all Rabies and DHPP vaccinations, HW test and HW preventative, spay/neuter, micro chipping, flea and tick preventative and certified vet inspection.
Your adoption fee pays for the next Golden Retriever saved.

Since all of our Golden Retrievers are in foster homes, we do require an approved adopter to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet.

Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming Golden Retrievers. GRRoW is an all volunteer-run organization, and to cover the expenses of caring for rescued Goldens we rely on donations and fundraising as well as sales from our online shop.
We save Golden Retrievers from shelters, humane societies, and owner surrenders. Our rescued dogs are placed into foster homes to be loved, nurtured, trained and in some cases nursed back to health while we find the perfect permanent home and loving family for them.
OUR MISSION We encourage and promote responsible dog ownership, to reduce the abuse and neglect of all Golden Retrievers through rehabilitation and adoption. We do everything in our power to assure humane treatment, accept, spay/neuter, rehabilitate Golden Retrievers by placing them in caring foster homes. We strive to educate the public in responsible dog ownership, proper health and nutrition, spay/neutering, training, and good canine citizenship and discourage unwanted and careless breeding practices. We promote humane care for all dogs.
We are always looking for new volunteers, especially foster homes. We could not do what we do without all of our wonderful volunteers.
With rising professional costs for medical/rehabilitative care, your tax-deductible donation will help us to continue our mission to save goldens who deserve a long and fulfilling life.
