My name is Riley!

As a rescue organization, we help Goldens who need a new beginning. There are many factors that we must consider before matching a dog with a family. Each story is different, some are mistreated or neglected, abandoned, or surrendered, some rescued from dire and horrific conditions. In all situations they have been let down by humans therefore we must prioritize finding the dog the best homes vs. finding the perfect pet for you. The first step in the adoption process is to complete the ADOPTION APPLICATION. Please keep in mind that by the time you submit an application and are going through the approval process, some of dogs available may already be in the process of being adopted by other approved families. Our approval process takes approximately 1-3 weeks. If you are interested in adopting, please do not wait. Please start the application process now so that you can be on a waiting list for when your special golden is available.



Please know we do not operate on a first-come first-served basis and reserve the right to deny any application without the disclosure of the reason for denial. We have an extremely high volume of applications, therefore we are not always able to reply personally to each one.
