Golden Retriever Rescues
These are the rescues goldens in the DC Goldens pack were adopted from, and the rescues around the region placing goldens of every age right now. Each page shows the pack's own dogs who came from there. DC Goldens doesn't vet or endorse anyone; the dogs and their families speak for themselves.

Where can I adopt a golden retriever near Washington, DC?
Golden retriever rescues serving DC, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania place goldens of every age who need homes, and DC Goldens lists them on its Rescues page along with the goldens in the community who were adopted from each one. An adopted golden is every bit as much a part of DC Goldens as one from a breeder.
Does DC Goldens vet or endorse rescues?
No. DC Goldens lists the rescues its families adopted from and the goldens who came from each, nothing more. It does not inspect, vet or endorse anyone, so check a rescue's own website for how they work and what they ask of adopters.
How do I add the rescue my golden came from?
Open your golden's page on DC Goldens with the link we texted you when you registered, go to Update Info, and answer "Was your golden adopted from a rescue?". Pick the rescue from the list, or add it by name with its website and area. Your golden then shows on the rescue's page, and the rescue on your golden's.
