Arizona Golden Rescue

Dog rescue in Glendale, AZ

Arizona Golden Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to rescue displaced Golden Retrievers and mostly-Golden mixes that may have been abused, abandoned, neglected or unwanted or surrendered by their owners due to previously unforeseen circumstances, and find new, permanent homes for them. Rescued dogs are given a complete veterinary exam and their vaccines are updated; they are also microchipped, spayed or neutered, and tested for valley fever and heartworm. AGR provides emotional and medical rehabilitation and will pay for medications and for necessary surgeries. Through education at public appearances, AGR seeks to educate the public about the Golden Retriever breed and about responsible dog ownership, in order to help reduce the unwanted dog population.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process - Getting Started
The first step in adopting a rescued Golden from AGR is to submit an Online Adoption Application. The application must be completed in full. We ask many questions in order to match a dog to your lifestyle and family routine. Note that there is a $25 adoption application fee required in order to process your application (information regarding payment of this is at the bottom of the online application).

Your application will be reviewed by our Home Evaluation Coordinator, who will then assign a Home Evaluator to conduct a telephone interview and arrange to visit you in your home. Our list of available dogs changes weekly, ensuring that you will soon meet your new Golden companion.

Our adoption fees are based upon the Golden’s age.

Puppies up to 2 years of age are $500
Dogs 2 - 5 years of age are $475
Dogs between 5 and 9 are $450
Dogs over 9 years of age are $400.
If a pair is adopted, the cost will be the full fee for the younger dog and half-fee for the other/older dog.
When AGR takes a Golden into rescue, we incur veterinary costs. Sometimes these costs are minimal, as when only a general physical is done. In other cases we have significant medical expenses. Adoption fees by themselves never cover all our expenses with rescued dogs. The average cost of veterinary services has run between $1,800 and $2,100 per dog.
