Trying to Re-home Our Golden Retriever (Like NOW!)

Please don't just dump her on someone. If you don't REALLY want to be horrible dog owners, contact a Golden Retriever Rescue and they will take her. Seriously, just giving her away or sending her to the pound is like letting her loose in the road. I understand that things happen in life and we can't always know what we will need to do- but in this case, you have a clear choice to do something responsible or to really be bad irresponsible dog owners. There is a rescue group for pretty much every breed in every state- do the right thing and move with a clear conscience!

Try a Golden Retriever rescue group:

This the site for one based on Texas, but there are many, all over the country. Good luck, I hope she finds a good home.

Rescue organization for sure.
Just call and explain your situation. They will help you. When I went through a rescue organization to adopt my two puppies, they said that a lot of people want older dogs, especially people with children. People want to know the dog's temperament and if it will do well with children. Puppies take so much work that many people don't want to deal with it, but an adult dog that is healthy, sweet, and well behaved will get a home quickly.

Again--Golden Retreiver Rescue. There are groups all over the country, can easily find on Google or contact info from a previous responder. Such wonderful dogs--please contact rescue group.

PS--Golden Retreiver Rescue of North Texas, Dallas, ###-###-####. They have info on their website about surrendering a Golden.

Find a Golden Retriever rescue group in your area. She will be placed with a "foster family" until they can find a loving home for her.

Contact an animal rescue or put an ad in the paper. Since it's an older dog, don't take her to a shelter. They'll have a hard time getting her adopted and they'll probably put her down.
Start knocking on doors. Ask if your neighbors know of anyone that would want her.
Put an ad on Craigslist.

Golden Retriever Rescue, DVMMOM supplied the links. Are you moving intown or somewhere else? Can you find someone to take her temporarily while you look for a home for her? The sooner you start looking and the longer you have, the better her chances of finding the right family.

I am totally on board with a retriever rescue.....PLEASE dont willy, nilly give this dog away!!!! I watch WAY too much Animal Cops on Animal Planet!!! You explain your situation to a rescue group, you are gaurenteed placement!!! These people dont judge..they are thankfull that you even stepped up and did the right thing for an animal that you love.

Good Luck :)

I vote with the others. Contact the rescue organization. Its your - and her - best bet.

Call the Golden rescue link.
