Adoption Process

Once your application has been completed and submitted you will receive a confirmation email to let you know your application has been received. There is no need to send in multiple applications while your application is still active (typically 4 months). Applications are reviewed and considered for Goldens who are currently in our care, or held until a Golden who comes into our care might be a potential match for you. A volunteer may contact you by phone or email after the submission of your application. Please understand that we receive many applications for the Goldens in our care and we strive to find the best possible match for the Golden and the potential adopter. Our goal is to find a perfect forever home for each Golden. Please don’t get discouraged if you are not contacted right away as we often receive multiple applications for the same dog you may be interested in. Most of the Goldens who come into our care do not get posted on our website because they are matched with a preapproved applicant who we think will be the best family for that Golden. If the Golden you indicated interest in on your application is adopted by another applicant, your application will remain active for four months and we will continue to try to match you with a Golden who may come into our program during that time. With 70% of our dogs coming from owner surrender we never know when Goldens will come into our care until we are notified. The more flexible you are with age, medical, training, etc., the easier it will be for us to find the right Golden for you. Whether or not a phone interview has been completed, your application will be kept in our active file until we identify a Golden that could be a great match for you/or for four months. When we identify a potential Golden, a member of our adoption team will contact you to set up a time for you to meet the Golden(s). At this meeting all family members, including any current dogs, will be required to attend. It is important that this be a good match for everyone. A home visit may be scheduled at that time. Adoption donations are paid at the time of adoption: $600 (includes chip registration) for Goldens under six months ($100 spay/neuter deposit for unaltered puppies refunded upon proof of spay/neuter); $400 (includes chip registration) for Goldens 6 months to 7 years and $250 (includes chip registration) for Goldens 8 years and older. Istanbul Turkey dogs are $800 under 1 year old, $600 over 1 year old.
