What is Golden Retriever Rescue of Michigan (GRRoM)?
Updated
Golden Retriever Rescue of Michigan (GRRoM) is a Golden Retriever rescue organization whose site, grrom.com, centers on rescuing neglected Goldens and funding their veterinary care. The homepage states that support "enables immediate rescue and critical veterinary care for neglected Goldens." If you are looking to adopt a Golden, follow their rescue stories, or donate, this is the organization's public-facing hub for all three.
What GRRoM does
- Rescue and veterinary care — Donations are directed toward rescuing Goldens and covering critical vet care, per the homepage.
- Adoption — The site maintains an "Adoptable Goldens" section listing dogs by name, with individual profile pages.
- Post-adoption storytelling — A "Golden Archives" section documents adopted Goldens with short profiles.
The site's tagline frames the mission simply: "Golden Retrievers Forever Loyal Forever Loved."
Adoptable and adopted Goldens
The Adoptable Goldens listings shown on the homepage include:
| Dog(s) | Listing date |
|---|---|
| Lady | September 6, 2026 |
| Trinity & Journey | September 6, 2026 |
| Marley & Frankie | August 3, 2026 |
Adopted Goldens featured in the Golden Archives include Gino, Teddy, and Maggie, each with a "Meet [name]!" profile page. Note that some dogs are listed in pairs, so a single listing may cover two Goldens.
Impact numbers
GRRoM publishes running totals of money spent on care and dogs rescued/adopted. As of the homepage's "2026 Impact: Through 2nd Quarter":
- $76,040.82 spent on care
- 67 Goldens rescued
- 60 Goldens adopted
For full-year 2025, the site reports:
- $95,052.83 spent on care
- 124 Goldens rescued
- 123 Goldens adopted
The homepage also states the funding ratio directly: "For every $1,000 raised, one Golden can be saved!"
Ways to support GRRoM
Beyond direct donations (there is an Annual Appeal donation link and a 2026 Annual Appeal Letter), the site lists merchandise and fundraisers:
- Personalized tumblers — multiple colors and sizes; the site says every purchase gives 35% back to GRRoM.
- Golden Retriever clothing and accessories — sweaters, t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, and seasonal items.
- Personalized gifts — a "Buy One Get One 50% Off" promotion using code Custom50.
- Custom photo keychains.
- Golden Tales book — available on Amazon for $20, featuring rescue stories of 32 GRRoM dogs with color photos, created by a GRRoM volunteer.
How to use the site
- To adopt — start at the Adoptable Goldens section and open individual dog profiles to read their stories.
- To donate — use the Annual Appeal donation link on the homepage.
- To shop — follow the "SHOP" links under each merchandise category; the tumbler listing notes the 35% give-back, and the personalized gifts listing notes the Custom50 code.
- To read rescue stories — browse the Golden Archives or order the Golden Tales book.
One thing the homepage does not spell out is the adoption application process itself — the visible listings link to individual dog profiles rather than a single step-by-step adoption guide, so expect to move from a dog's page into whatever process that profile links to.
