Spoke to an older woman from the org today. She called me back right away and was nice which is the reason I gave them 3 stars. But I was SO disappointed to hear that if you want to adopt a puppy, you MUST have a fenced-in yard, per what the foster parents have said. We can't have a fence as our HOA will not allow it. So bummed out. Kind of feel like they should rethink this and that shouldn't be a dealbreaker as we are totally willing to walk the pup daily and tire her out with other activities such as training. I actually feel that fenced yards are overrated, and unfortunately, a lot of people use them as an excuse not to actually go out and walk their dogs. From what I hear, many Goldens don't want to be put out in the yard unless someone is there with them, and at least in one-dog households, it's unusual for a dog to get a significant amount of exercise in the yard without the owner getting out there and playing with the dog, anyway. I can certainly play with the pup outside in our backyard without a fence. Too bad :(

Questions & Answers

Do you need volunteers to foster dogs for short periods?

We are always looking for foster homes but I am not really sure what you mean by short periods. EGRR prefers our fosters be located within our area, Vero Beach to Key West, and who have had an EGRR approved home visit.

I am sorry but I only speak English.

How can a non profit all volunteer dog shelter charge $700 plus a non refundable application fee?Dogs only for the rich?Plus they put ypu on a waiting list?Sounds bogus to me.

We have been placing Golden Retrievers 15+ years. We receive shelter dogs sick and/or hurt requiring treatment. All dogs must be held in isolation for 2 weeks at our vet facility. In that time they get a thorough work up including blood panels tested by outside labs for various diseases like Heartworm, thyroid issues, parasites. We have taken in dogs hit by vehicles, have ACL tears & malnourished & if they need training, we bring them to a professional for obedience classes. We will not put a dog up for adoption until it is healed, healthy & has all vaccines &, of course, neutered or spayed. We pay for all boarding fees & food. If we have no dogs available, we put people who have passed a vet screening & home visit on our waiting list. When a dog comes in, we check that list first to find a family that has passed all screenings & is the best match for the dog. Maybe now you have a better understanding the reasoning for our fees, which are set by age. Also, we are all volunteers!!

I live 5 minutes away & have a 14 year old interested in volunteering somewhere for the summer. How old must you be to volunteer?

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately she is too young to volunteer.

Are you accepting donations of towels or bedding?

The facility where we kennel our dogs is in Boca on Clint Moore Road and not Boynton. I think they would always welcome donations of towels and bedding, as would most veterinary facilities.
