How do I adopt a rescue dog?
The first step is to fill out the adoption application on the GRR website or call the Hotline at (512) 659-GOLD.
Prospective owners are carefully screened before they are allowed to adopt
a dog. GRR has a three-step interview process, which consists of
two phone interviews and a home visit. We want to make sure that
a Golden Retriever is for you – they’re not for everyone! We encourage
you to read about the golden breed prior to making a decision to adopt
a golden. Many books are available and we recommend The Golden
Retriever by Jeffery Pepper and Second Hand Dog by Carol Lea
Benjamin.

Adoptions are followed up by calls and visits by a GRR
volunteer. Assistance and advice is offered to help the adoptive
family and rescue dog adjust to each other. We work very hard to
ensure every GRR dog tale will have a happy ending.
