Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue of Colorado

Surrender A Golden

Giving up a dog can be a difficult decision and we're glad that you've come to us. All of our dogs stay in foster care and are treated as a member of the family. We screen our applicants very carefully and would only place your dog in a home where we would leave one of our dogs.

The surrender form must be filled out completely. This information helps us learn about your dog and to find the best possible foster home for him/her. We will need the vet's name and phone number, as we will call to get the records before contacting you. We will also need a digital picture of your dog. To speed up the process, you can send one after you've filled out the online form. You can email it to staff@goldenretrieverfreedom.com with the name of your dog as the subject.

All incoming dogs are assessed prior to acceptance into our foster program. Your dog must get along well with other dogs, as most foster homes have their own dogs. Your dog must also get along well with people, as that is the main trait our applicants are looking for in a golden. If you do have a golden that has aggression problems, we will be unable to take your dog. We would be more than happy to provide alternatives or recommendations for trainers or behavior specialists.

The surrender process can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. The more information that is provided from the beginning can reduce waiting time. The surrender forms are checked several times daily and you will be contacted either by email or phone.

Please understand that you completely relinquish ownership and all rights to your golden when to surrender it to Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue, Inc.
