Special Note to Applicants
With Children Under the Age of Ten

Because of our emphasis on safety, we are very careful about the Goldens we will place into families with young children. Generally, we will not place the following types of Rescue Goldens into families with young children:
  • Goldens who have had no exposure to children
  • Goldens who were given up because of characteristics that are incompatible with children
  • Goldens who have no documented history (stray Goldens)

The demand for Rescue Goldens with "child experience" is high, so the wait to adopt for a family with young children may be longer. We do not want to discourage you from considering the adoption of one of our wonderful Rescue Goldens, but we do want you to have a realistic understanding of the possible delay.

If you are willing to consider one of our senior Goldens whose easy-going, gentle natures are well suited to children, your wait may be shorter.
