Please note: It is always best to check with your local store or organizer to be sure a visit is still on. We make every attempt to keep things up to date, but things do change.

Come join us to learn more about GRRMF and how to become involved in our rescue program through volunteering!

Educational Events

Educational Days are events where we meet the public and hand out information about GRRMF and rescue. We often bring our own golden retrievers so the public can get an idea of what goldens are all about. Please join us - we would love to meet you!

If you are interested in coming out to help at educational days, you can email GRRMF for more information.
