3 Sneaky Ways To Find A Rescue Golden
If the Golden Retriever rescues are all out of dogs — don’t worry, there’s still hope.
One way to find a Golden that needs your home is to check out your local animal shelters.
Yes, this is a long shot, but you might find a Golden or another dog that steals your heart there.
The next way to find a Golden is to be active in your local Golden Retriever Facebook groups.
I’ve seen several posts where people need to give up their dog, but would rather find a new home themselves than go through a rescue group.
And finally, you can get involved with your local Golden Retriever Club.
This is a long shot, too, but the more Golden Retriever lovers you know, the more likely you are to find one of your own.
And speaking of Golden Retriever Clubs…
New Jersey Golden Retriever Clubs
Not only can your local Golden Retriever club help you find a Golden, but it’ll also be a great resource to help you raise your golden.
Here are some benefits of getting involved in a club:
- You can join their events and sports to socialize your dog
- You can get helpful tips from golden retriever owners
- And you can get referrals for services like a vet, groomer, or doggy daycare.
