As Good As Gold:

Golden Retriever Rescue of Illinois


Golden Retriever

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.
