Does Your Golden Need Us?

You have a Golden Retriever and for some reason you are unable or unwilling to keep him/her. Maybe you don't have the time to train a very energetic dog. Maybe someone in your family is severely allergic. Perhaps your dog needs more medical care than you can afford. Maybe you are moving to or find yourself in unfortunate circumstances. Whatever the reason, we understand it is never an easy decision to relinquish your pet, no matter what the circumstances, and we aren't going to judge you.

We know giving up your Golden may be heartbreaking but putting your pet’s welfare first sometimes means making the hard decision to give them up. Please do not take your Golden to a shelter, advertise them on Craig’s List, or abandon them; the potential home your dog may end up in is totally unpredictable and possibly not safe should you take that course of action.

We are dedicated to saving Golden Retrievers so if you must give up your Golden we are here to help.  One of our primary goals is to find the ideal forever homes for our dogs. You have our promise that we will do everything we can to make sure your dog is healthy, happy and loved. We screen all of our applicants carefully to ensure they are responsible pet owners.  Read our brochure about the intake process for more information.
