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.
