The goal of our Adoption program is to ensure that each AGaG golden
retriever is adopted into a home best suited for the golden’s personality,
activity level, and particular needs. Our Adoption Coordinator makes every
attempt to match available golden retrievers with the gender, age range,
and temperament requested by adoption applicants. Dog adoption is a
careful process, working collaboratively with our Adoption program team,
foster homes who have learned the dog’s temperaments, and adoption
applicant families.
This includes working closely with the Foster program to best determine
the specific dog’s unique set of requirements, as well as conducting home
visits for all potential adoption homes. Our team of home visit volunteers
reviews every adoption application and makes an in-person home visit,
working diligently to understand the conditions and chemistry within each
home under consideration for placement of a golden—reviewing thoroughly
each home visit report, repeatedly scouring the list of families to select
a household that most approximates the ideal environment for the dog.
