Surrender Your Golden Retriever
Thinking of surrendering your Golden?
We understand that certain circumstances may prevent you from giving your purebred Golden Retriever the care that it needs and deserves.
We can help!
Giving or selling your Golden to a stranger is a bad idea. Without the required references and home checks performed by groups like ours, dogs run the risk of being placed into unhealthy and abusive homes.
We want to ensure your loved one gets the home they deserve!
Surrendering your pet to Golden Re-triever Rescue is a permanent decision.
Golden Re-triever Rescue knows that surrendering your dog is a very difficult decision, but sometimes - it is the only one to make. If you choose to surrender your dog, you'll be asked to complete a surrender contract. Your signature on this contract represents a permanent decision on your part. This legally binding contract gives full ownership of the dog to Golden Re-triever Rescue. This allows us to provide veterinary care and down the road, legally adopt out the dog to a carefully pre-screened 'forever' home. Please note: We consider adoptions through our organization to be closed, meaning that we do not reveal the identities of either the surrendering or adopting parties. This ensures your privacy, as well as the privacy of the adopter, will be protected.
