| Golden
Retrievers are placed within the Ohio area, and in rare instances,
in adjoining states, i.e., PA or MI. If applying from out of state,
you must be willing to drive all the way to us to meet a new dog
and all the way back with the dog, should the adoption not work
out.
The adoption fee for our dogs:
- $300 for dogs up to 2
- $250 for dogs 2-7
- $125 for dogs 8-10
- $75 for dogs 11 +
The fee for special needs dogs is considered individually.
Being all volunteers, everyone involved in
our rescue donates their time and efforts to help these wonderful
dogs. We do not have a paid staff, office or kennel. Every effort
is made to process your application in a timely manner.
The adoption process is outlined below and can take anywhere
from 1 week to 3 or more weeks, depending on the available dogs,
the number of approved applications and your personal circumstances
and flexibility.
- Interested parties must begin by submitting
a completed adoption application.
You can fill one out on line or download a printable version.
Submission of an application does not guarantee an adoption.
We do not adopt on a first-come-first-served basis. All
dogs are placed in the home environment that best suits them.
- Your application is received and reviewed
as quickly as possible. Please let your veterinarian
know that we will be contacting them. Once the vet
check is completed and approved, we will contact you for a personal
interview. If all goes well, we will set up a home visit where
everyone in your family will learn about adopting a rescued
golden.
- If the home visit is satisfactory, an
adoption coordinator will work with you to determine which dog(s)
might be a good match for you, your family and your lifestyle.
We will then arrange for you to meet one of our dogs.
- All adopters are required to
sign an Adoption Agreement, outlining housing, care,
control and ownership responsibilities that all adopters are
expected to adhere to.
- You should also know that before any
golden is placed into an adoptive home, the golden has already
been seen by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, updated on all
shots, heartworm tested and any other medical issues have been
addressed. You will be informed of any medical conditions prior
to adoption.
