3 Bonus Ways To Find A Rescue Golden
Most Golden Retriever rescues have a waitlist, and some have even stopped accepting new potential owners because their waitlist is too long!
If that’s the case with the rescues near you, don’t worry — there are three other ways to get your new pup.
The first way is to check out your local animal shelters.
This may be a long shot, as any Golden they get will go fast, but it could be worth it.
You might also fall in love with another dog there!
The second way is to get involved with your local Golden Retriever Facebook group.
There are often Golden owners in there who need to give up their dog for some unfortunate reason, and would rather find a new home themselves than go through a rescue group.
This is your opportunity to offer your loving home!
The third way is another long shot, but it’s to get involved with your local Golden Retriever club.
They might have an inside scoop on who’s rehoming Goldens, plus the more Golden lovers you know, the more likely you are to find one of your own.
And speaking of Golden Retriever Clubs…
Golden Retriever Clubs In Minnesota

- Getting referrals for services like vets, groomers, and doggy daycares
