Additional adoption info

Thank you for taking the time to learn how to adopt a Golden Retriever. Please note that we cannot accept applications from outside our chartered area of northern California and the Reno/Lake Tahoe area. For questions, send an email to info@ngrr.org

NGRR screens all applicants thoroughly. We have a lengthy application which we will review with you both on the phone and in person before we will consider placing a Golden in your household.

We will try to contact you within 30 days, but please be aware we are all volunteers who donate our time and that our response to you may be delayed due to other commitments.

To submit an application, see our Online Adoption Application or our Printable Adoption Application. Note that we identify your Area Adoption Coordinator for applications and questions based on the city and county you enter.

If you want to find out more about a particular dog, the best way is to submit the Online Adoption application and inquire about the dog in the comments section. This way we can evaluate your needs and see if the dog of interest to you will be the best match.

To adopt a Golden, NGRR requests an adoption donation at the time of placement. The adoption donation varies based on the age of the Golden but the range is $400-$650. Your money helps us support our veterinary costs per dog which remains greater than the requested adoption donation. Adoption donations for senior dogs (i.e. over 10 yrs. old) and special needs Golden may be adjusted.

NGRR finds safe, loving homes for our dogs where we want them to become household pets and part of your family. Before you adopt, we want to assure your house and yard are suitable for the dog, and that the dog will be well cared for as a family member. This is why we have such a long adoption application and then insist on a home visit before you are approved to adopt a dog from us. The dogs surrendered to us have been through tough times and deserve a loving home for the best possible chance for success. For a better discussion of our adoption guidelines, please see our Frequently Asked Questions. While each of our Adoption Coordinators has some leeway in placing dogs, applicants with exceptions to the guidelines will likely have lower priority for an adoption.
