We accept Goldens if we have space and resources available basis regardless of their age or medical condition. We are an all-volunteer group and foster the Goldens in our homes with our own dogs. Once we have room for the dog, we will arrange for a volunteer to come meet the dog, either in your home or at a mutually convenient location, and will make our final intake determination at that time. When your dog is accepted into our program, you will be required to sign a legally binding document which gives sole ownership of the dog to Love A Golden Rescue. Please provide us with copies of any of the dog's veterinary records or other records such as AKC papers, obedience class certificates, etc. Please provide us with any prescription drugs which the dog is currently taking. Your dog will have an easier transition if you send along your dog's food, toys, bedding, crate or other familiar items. A donation is not required but is much appreciated to help with the care of your dog and the other foster dogs Our goal is to find the best available home for our foster dogs. You can read about our adoption process and about the care we give the foster dogs on the website. Our volunteers do their best for the foster dogs to be happy and healthy and to make the foster dog's transition to a new home as smooth as possible for the foster dog.
