Rescue FAQs

Heartland Golden Retriever Rescue is located in Knoxville TN ....helping homeless and displaced Goldens from Tennessee, SW Virginia, SE Kentucky, NE Alabama relocate to permanent loving homes all over the country.

With so many Goldens needing our help in Tennessee and surrounding states. We are willing to help transport dogs from Tennessee and Virginia to other areas of the United States. Due to the high cost of gasoline effective 10th April 2007 we reluctantly have to increase the transportation fee for any overland transport of 6 hours or more that we arrange to $100 (this does bring us in line with the cost a commercial carrier charges). This transport fee applies for any dog adopted that has been fostered in another area and the dog gets adopted in that area. Flight transportation costs (if it involves a dog going Air Cargo) are the responsibility of the applicant. Please note commencing mid- May no dogs can be transported by air due to an embargo imposed by the airlines. This embargo remains in effect until the end of the Summer.

Additional adoption info

To ensure that prospective owners are serious about their adoption, a $25.00 (non-refundable)adoption application fee is charged. Once an application is submitted, the fee should be sent to Heartland within three days. This fee will be applied against the adoption fee.

The adoption fee is $175.00 for dogs from puppies to 6yo and $150 for dogs aged 7-8; this fee helps cover the cost of medical treatment (examinations, spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm check, and micro-chipping) given before the Golden is adopted.

Dogs that we consider Golden mixes may be adopted for $125

A donation is requested for HGRR's senior Goldens (age 9 and older) and for HGRR's Goldens with special medical needs. Click here to visit our special page for Seniors and Special Needs Goldens.

There is a 14-day trial period for all adoptions. If the Golden is returned within this time, the adoption fee (less the application fee) will be refunded.

HGRR attempts to place their Goldens in the best possible home environment, and to that end several interviews will be held between the prospective owners and HGRR volunteers.

Effective 21st April 2005 Heartland will no longer be placing dogs with applicants with children under 8 years of age

PLEASE NOTE: A submitted application does not guarantee adoption of a Golden from HGRR; nor that the dog an applicant would like to adopt from HGRR, is the one that is best suited to meet their needs, and HGRR reserves the right to offer one they feel is better suited to match the application.
