Are you ready to adopt a Golden Retriever? Read more about our adoption process and application.
Please be aware that the demand is much higher than the supply of dogs and the wait is very long to get a dog.
As Good as Gold has rescued over 2,800 golden retrievers since May, 2003. At any given time, we have 35-40 dogs, ages six months to 14+ years of age, being cared for in the private homes of foster volunteers.
All of the dogs in our care do not appear on our website. 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.

These dogs are not yet ready for adoption but are anxious to introduce themselves to AGaG’s website visitors! All of the dogs are currently in foster homes while their needs are being addressed by their loving foster parents and the expert help of our veterinarians.
Some dogs have medical conditions ranging from ear infections to being heartworm positive; some are fearful due to their prior living conditions; all are seeking a stable place to adjust to their new situations. Stay tuned as these dogs complete their journeys through foster care and become ready for their forever homes.
If you would be interested in adopting a heartworm positive dog and guiding it through its heartworm treatment, please contact us at adoptions@asgoodasgold. In order to be eligible, one must complete AGaG’s adoption process which includes an application and a home visit interview. To learn more about heartworm and its treatment, contact us.
Sometimes, goldens come to us with issues that may keep them from being adoptable. Some are quite old and have very slim chances of adoption, and some have medical issues that may interfere with their adoption possibilities. Some have medical issues that are terminal.
As Good as Gold believes that every dog should have the chance to be comfortable and happy and should get the medical care they deserve, even if that means they stay as part of the AGaG family for the rest of their days. We developed the Long Term Care program so that these dogs could have all of those things. While dogs are in Long Term Care, As Good as Gold covers all medical expenses.
Below are our current Long Term Care dogs. These dogs are not available for adoption, however please click on their picture to learn more about them and consider making a donation towards As Good as Gold’s veterinary expenses.

VIRTUAL SILENT AUCTION A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
While COVID-19 appeared to be on the verge of abruptly shutting down As Good as Gold’s largest annual fundraiser, the Golden Gala, our group’s leadership team sprang into action. How could AGaG raise much needed funds for our dogs without violating CDC guidelines and endangering our guests?
Plans for a virtual silent auction developed despite the short amount of time available to organize, the team gathered 78 valuable prizes that could be mailed to winners, and May 9- 16 was designated virtual silent auction week!
Totals of the event raised $69,273, which includes the Miller Charitable Trust matching grant.
A special THANK YOU goes out to The Miller Charitable Trust for applying their $20,000 matching grant to the virtual silent auction. As always, we thank the Miller family for their generosity and support.
And, a big THANK YOU goes out to Sponsors who previously pledged money to support the Golden Gala all agreed to transfer their pledges as donations to the virtual silent auction! We are extremely grateful for that generosity.
We are thrilled that we were able to work together “virtually” for this fundraiser. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our generous members and friends who helped to make our virtual silent auction a tremendous success. Your contributions will be crucial in covering general and medical expenses for the goldens and golden mixes entrusted to our care. The dogs thank you as well!
SAVE THE DATE: We look forward to celebrating an “in person” evening with you at next year’s Golden Gala. Please mark your calendars for May 22 2021.
