Maybe
a puppy isn't right for you at present and you'd prefer to
have an older dog. Golden Rescue might be where you'll find
your forever pet.
Because Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds
in the United States, there are many Goldens and some are
surrendered to Golden Retriever rescue groups. Many of these
Goldens were surrendered because their owners were moving
to an apartment that didn't allow pets, or because owners
were going through a divorce, or an owner's illness prevented
them from caring for their pet. Sometimes, these are young
dogs that were not fitted for the confirmation ring, or were
surrendered to breeders who are seeking to place them. On
some Golden breeder websites you can find older Goldens that
are available for adoption from a breeder.
Occasionally, Golden rescue groups have puppies, but more
often there are adults available.
In the Delaware Valley area there are a number of Golden Rescue
groups, and even more across the country. Check out their
websites where some have photos of available Goldens. Others
have a waiting list, so you may want to check out their policies
on adoption.
Below are some of the Golden rescue groups in our area.
