The first way is to check out your local animal shelters for a Golden.
Here’s a list with some of the local animal shelters in Maine.
The second way is to become active in your local Golden Retriever Facebook groups.
You’ll often see people that have to give up their pup and want to find a new loving home for them themselves.
That’s where you can step in and offer your loving home!

And speaking of Golden Retriever clubs, when you do get your Golden Retriever, they can be an excellent resource for you.
