Adoption Process

Our focus is to keep our adoptions to the Northeast Florida area (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison, Marion, Nassau, Putnam, St Johns, Suwannee, Union and Volusia counties in Florida). By doing this, we are able to provide transitional support to our new adopting families, and we get to see the GREAT dogs again at our many fundraisers and reunions! Adopting families are selected from approved applications on file. Prior adopting families, fosters, vet referrals and approved applicants on file have first consideration in the order of submission for adoption of a suitable Golden Retriever/Golden mix. To be considered, you must complete an application. Please be sure to review the Terms of Adoption as they outline your responsibilities as the owner of a GREAT Golden Retriever. If the Golden you have in mind has already been adopted, you will be placed on our waiting list for a future rescued dog that fits your needs. Applications will remain active for 6 months, unless otherwise notified by the applicant, if no suitable match has been found. Prior adopting families, fosters, vet referrals and approved applicants on file have first consideration in the order of submission for adoption of a suitable Golden Retriever/Golden mix. Once a dog has been “interviewed” by a family, the family must make a decision, sign the paperwork and pay the adoption fee within 24 hours to be guaranteed the right to adopt the specific dog visited. All new owners will be expected to pay an adoption fee for the preferred Golden Retriever on the day the adoption takes place. There will be no extended credit or late payments accepted. Adoption fees help defray expenses in rescuing this and other Golden Retrievers brought into G.R.E.A.T. Rescue. All G.R.E.A.T. participants are volunteers and are not responsible or liable in any manner, at present or into the future, for any problems or mishaps that may occur following the adoption of a G.R.E.A.T. Golden Retriever. The decision to place a Golden is at the sole discretion of G.R.E.A.T. Rescue and its Board of Directors and that which is deemed to be in the best interest of the Golden Retriever. We reserve the right to refuse any application.
