Goldens Available for Adoption

Not every dog that is available for adoption will be featured on our website. Sometimes, we can match dogs to approved adopters very quickly, so those dogs will not be featured.

Learn About As Good As Gold

As Good as Gold is a membership-based, 100% volunteer-run non-profit rescue organization, dedicated to the rescue, care, and adoption of golden retrievers and golden mixes in need.
