3 Bonus Sneaky Ways To Find A Golden Retriever

If none of the rescues in or near Missouri have a Golden, there are still a few other routes you can explore.

The first route is to check your local animal shelters.

Yes, this is a long shot since most Golden Retrievers will get scooped up quickly, but if you check often enough, you may get lucky and find one.

Plus, you might find another dog that steals your heart!

The second way is to get active in your local Golden Retriever Facebook groups.

I’ve seen several people post in a few groups recently saying that they have to give up their dog for some unfortunate reason out of their control.

That’s where you can come in and offer your home!

Again, this takes patience, but it could be worth it.

Just be sure to watch out for scammers!

The final way to find a Golden who needs your home is to get involved in your local Golden Retriever club.

Some of the members there may have some insider information about a Golden who needs a new home and you can find your pup that way.

This is another long shot, but the more Golden Retriever lovers you know, the more likely you are to find a Golden of your own.

And speaking of local Golden Retriever clubs…

Golden Retriever Clubs In Missouri

Not only can a Golden Retriever Club help you potentially find your Golden, but when you do get them, they can help you raise them.

For example, they might help with:

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