Thank you for stopping by to see the dogs ready for adoption.

There are typically between 35 and 45 dogs in our program at any given time – some will stay with us longer than others as they overcome their medical or behavioral challenges.

Please note: Purebred Golden Retrievers in our program will likely have a date restriction. The date restriction deadline typically corresponds to the date the dog entered our program and, if applicable, will be listed on the dog's individual page. Any applications received after this date will unfortunately not be considered.

Thank you for your understanding and support in providing a loving home for our Golden Retrievers.

Dogs Available for Adoption

  • Owen

    Owen is a one-of-a-kind hound mix (Bluetick Coonhound, German Shepherd, and Great Pyrenees) who has been waiting far too long for someone to see how special he really is. This boy is affectionate, smart, goofy in all the best ways, and absolutely lights up when he’s with his people or out exploring the world.

    A generous benefactor has covered Owen’s adoption fee, helping to pave the way for a smooth and happy transition into his forever home.

  • Rochelle

    Rochelle is a silly, sweet and curious dog. She loves prancing around outside, getting treats, and playing with toys and bones.

  • Kosovo Margarita

    Margarita traveled all the way from Kosovo to find her forever family, and she’s ready to fill your home with cuddles, playful zoomies, and unconditional love. House-trained, gentle, and happiest by your side, Margarita is the perfect mix of cozy couch companion and fun-loving adventure buddy!

  • Jess

    At just 8 months old, Jess is finally getting the chance to learn how to be a puppy. Her first months of life weren’t what they should have been, so she’s making up for lost time with lots of curiosity, playfulness, and enthusiasm for life.

  • Will

    Will is a sweet, well behaved boy that wants nothing more than to chill around the house, play and be around his people and other dogs.  He is curious about everything, very smart and learns quickly!

  • Martha Washington

    Sweet Martha Washington found herself in a sad situation when her beloved owner passed away. No other family stepped up and she found herself scared and alone at the shelter, but not for long because we were quick to scoop this gal up.

  • Bear

    Meet Bear a loveable three-year old Ovcharka mix with impressive fluff, a goofy personality and a deeply loyal and protective heart! Once Bear trusts you he is all about belly rubs, showing off his favorite toys, chewing a good bully stick and hanging out close to his person.

  • Isla

    Isla is a super sweet girl looking for her next happy home!  She is an affectionate smaller golden mix who is agile and playful like a dog younger than her 8 years.  If you're looking for a well behaved dog to walk with you or just sit and relax, she's a great companion who's happy to do whatever you do.

  • Abe

    Handsome Abe is a 3 year-old Golden mix with a smile that can light up a room and a heart full of loyalty. This sweet boy loves his daily walks and is happiest spending time with the people he knows and trusts. Once you're part of his circle, you'll have a devoted best friend for life.

  • Loudon

    Loudon is a big, fluffy bundle of personality who’s full of charm and affection. He loves giving kisses, chasing squirrels, and happily “booping” you for attention before nuzzling his way into your space for extra pets. With his striking looks and playful spirit, he’s sure to steal your heart.

  • Pistachio

    Pistachio is an almost two-year-old, medium sized, mixed-breed with a totally mysterious lineage & backstory (he was found as a stray & brought to a shelter). Whatever his breed mix, it clearly includes equal parts fluffy good looks, energy, goofiness, and friendliness. He’s more than ready to find an active companion for a lifetime of adventures.
