How DO I Adopt?
How Do I Adopt A Golden From Golden Endings?
The adoption fee for a Golden Endings dog varies for the age/needs per dog. This fee helps to pay the expenses incurred for the dog's medical treatment, which in many cases is less than GEGRR pays to bring the dog to an adoptable condition.
Potential
adopters are screened, by written application and by
telephone interview. The application and the interview will
help the adoption coordinator, and the adoption coordinator
determines which dogs are most suitable for each applicant.
If the applicant has had other pets, a veterinarian
reference is requested. In some cases, GEGRR will conduct a
home visit to see where a dog will live, play, and exercise.
Also, adoptive families consent to periodic follow-up calls
during their first year of ownership.
Adoptive
families are required to sign a contract regarding the
treatment of their new pet.
Care of the dog is never to be
transferred to an animal shelter. If the family is unable or
unwilling to keep the dog, it must be returned to Golden
Endings. All GEGRR dogs are spayed or neutered and cannot be
used for breeding purposes. The adoptive families agree to
provide medical treatment when necessary and all annual
booster vaccinations at a veterinary clinic of their choice.
The adoptive family will provide the dog with its monthly
heartworm preventative. The adoptive family agrees to keep
their pet contained and not let it roam the neighborhood.
Golden Endings requires the new owner to provide the dog with a course in basic obedience. Training will help the dog become a valued member of your family. We also recommend that you feed the dog a premium dog food, the benefits of doing this far outweighs the cost involved.
