Adopt a Golden Atlanta

Adopt a Golden Atlanta AGA, a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue dedicated to Golden Retrievers, fully foster based & 100% run by volunteers. Based out of Atlanta

We do not reject any golden, no matter their medical or behavioral needs and work tirelessly to find their "furever family". We find warm, loving forever homes for Golden Retrievers to prevent them from being strays or adding to shelter overpopulation. Regardless of medical needs or age, dogs receive vet care, training if required and safe passage to a forever home.

ADOPTED! Some stories are just meant to be. Clifford’s journey began when he was taken in by a kind friend after his original owner was forced to give him up because of a landlord’s restrictions. Hoping to find him the perfect home, his temporary caretaker did everything he could, but after two months, Clifford was still spending 12–15 hours a day alone — often crated or left on the back porch. Knowing Clifford deserved so much more, he reached out to us for help.

When this sweet couple lost their beloved Golden Retriever in March, they weren’t just grieving a dog; they were missing their walking partner, their snuggle buddy, and the faithful foot warmer who had been part of their everyday life. At the same time, Clifford needed someone to give him the life he deserved. Then came the perfect match.

The moment this couple met Clifford, they fell in love. They saw not just a handsome pup, but the chance to open their hearts again. And Clifford found exactly what he’d been waiting for — a family ready for long walks, endless cuddles, and a warm furry friend by their feet once again.

His new dad works from home full-time, so the days of spending long hours alone are behind him. Instead, Clifford will have constant companionship, plenty of attention, opportunities for walks and playtime, and all the cozy naps by his favorite person’s feet. With a love for people and other dogs, we know he’s going to thrive in his new home.

Sometimes the right dog finds the right family at exactly the right time. Happy Adoption, Clifford! Wishing you a lifetime of adventures, naps, belly rubs, and unconditional love.

ADOPTED! Gracie and Goose were surrendered to AGA by their owners because their children were allergic to the dogs and could no longer be around them. The owner was very sad to let go of them, but knew it was in everyone's best interest for the pair to come to AGA.

They went into a foster home with family that has been long-time fosters with AGA. After fostering many dogs for AGA, along the way they decided to put in an application to adopt because they knew eventually they would need to have another golden (or two!) of their own.

They started out fostering for AGA after losing a bonded pair of goldens they loved so deeply. So, once they brought Gracie and Goose into their home, they decided they were the dogs for them.

Now the pair have a new mom and dad who love them. Dad works from home, so they will get lots of attention, have a fenced-in yard to play together in, and will also get walks together. Of course, they have each other, which is so important since they are so closely bonded. 🥰

Thank you to everyone who helped Gracie and Goose find their furever home!

ADOPTED! Dice Doodle came to AGA because his previous owners worked long hours and wanted a better life for him. Many people helped this lucky boy along his way to finding the perfect home. He is a young, active boy who needed some training. AGA gave him a start on his training, and his new family is continuing to work with him on his behavior.

Previous adopters and their AGA doodle named Bob Marley were ready to add a new companion to their family. Dice is keeping his name and is slowly learning how to play with his new brother.

His new mom works from home, and his dad works part-time from home. Dice now has 2.5 acres to explore, sleeps in the bedroom with his family, and has all the toys he could ever want. His parents lovingly refer to him as a "work in progress."

Thanks to everyone who helped this young boy find his wonderful new home.

ADOPTED! Benji has found his FOREVER! Benji came to AGA when a breeder reached out to surrender a one-year-old, stud dog that made it clear he had no interest in that life. Benji was living in a barn with the other males and had been very sheltered from everyday sounds, movements, and life outside the barn.

He was so scared at intake, paralyzed with fear, and wouldn’t walk. Soon after getting into his foster home with three other goldens, he quickly realized he was safe. He bonded with the pack immediately and followed all their moves. Somewhere along the way, his foster family realized they couldn’t imagine life without him and knew he needed them too.

Benji, now named Goose, is the seventh AGA dog adopted by his forever family. Goose has continued to thrive and has started running, playing, chewing on bones, and enjoying wrestling with his brothers. Goose is pure joy, and it’s so great to see him so happy with his pack. Congratulations, Goose - you hit the jackpot! 💛

𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚... 💛 We can’t understand why this sweet boy isn’t getting the attention he deserves. He may not look like a Golden Retriever, but 𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.

Scout has the kind of heart that makes everyone fall in love. His tail is almost always wagging, he loves being by your side, and he’ll happily lean in for pets or give the sweetest kisses.

Scout is wonderful with other dogs (prefers another dog in his forever home), walks beautifully on a leash, and has the sweetest, easygoing personality.

He isn’t getting as much interest as many of our other orphans, so we’re asking for your help. Please share Scout’s story — his forever family may be just one share away. 🐾

ADOPTED! Lilly 2 recently found her forever home! Lilly was surrendered when her owner experienced some health issues. AGA welcomed her with open arms and started learning more about what she wanted from a new family.

First, she wanted to be the Queen of the Household. No other pets, she asked politely. And she preferred a quiet household but did insist that her new home include someone who would play fetch with her, and then play fetch again after a nap.

When her new mom saw Lilly on our website, she knew it was meant to be. After a couple of hard losses of her own, her new mom was looking for a companion to fill the empty spaces in her home and life.

With no kids or other pets, she warmed up her throwing arm for fetch and headed for our Meet & Greet to meet Lilly and convince her that she'd offer the perfect home for this sweet girl. Lilly was on board, and everyone was excited to see this sweet girl find her forever home.

They have settled in nicely together, and Lilly is the happiest girl ever, as is her new mom. There are a lot of walks and playing fetch in her new home, which is exactly what Lilly requested.

Many thanks to her fosters and to the transport team who took on the task of taking Lilly on her journey home, on Father's Day weekend. You all rock!
