Rescue

From time to time, we are asked to help find new homes for Golden Retrievers. This can happen for many reasons — changes in family circumstances, bereavement, the arrival of a new baby, or simply because the dog has become too much for the owner to manage. Dogs needing rehoming may be anything from young puppies to seniors enjoying their twilight years, but all share the same need: a loving and secure forever home.

We understand how distressing it can be for someone to part with their dog. Our aim is to make the process as smooth and compassionate as possible, carefully matching each surrendered Golden Retriever with the right new owner. Whenever we can, we arrange for dogs to go directly to their new homes, avoiding the stress of kennels. If you find yourself in a position where you have no other option, but to consider a surrender, please select the ‘Surrender a Golden Retriever’ button above to access the online surrender questionnaire.

Before rehoming, we try to ensure that dogs are assessed for temperament and health. However, please note that we cannot take dogs with certain behavioural challenges, such as resource guarding or with a bite history. In such cases, we will do our best to guide owners towards specialist rescue organisations that may be able to help.

To comply with GDPR and protect your personal data, we only keep questionnaires for two years. If you do not hear from us in that time but would still like to be considered, you will need to reapply.

If you are interested in welcoming a rescue Golden Retriever into your family, please select the ‘Adopt a Golden Retriever’ button above to access the online adoption questionnaire.

It’s important to remember that rehoming is about giving a dog a second chance in life. We do not run kennels or hold a waiting list of dogs ready to view. Instead, we rehome Goldens as and when they are surrendered to us. For this reason, we cannot respond to specific requests such as “I’d like a female, under 4 years old, dark in colour, and good with children.” Rescue dogs don’t come to order; patience and flexibility are essential.
