Owner Surrenders

Unfortunately, some families are unable to keep their Goldens for a variety of reasons. When that happens, we try to be there to help make the separation a little easier for all concerned. We realize that this is a very difficult and personal decision to make, and we do not judge you for it.

Once your Golden is in our program, he or she will be placed in a foster home with a loving family. Golden Beginnings will provide any training that may be necessary, as well as treatment for any medical issues that should arise. All Goldens in our program are treated with love, affection, gentleness, and encouragement. In addition, you can be assured that Golden Beginnings has always maintained a lifetime commitment to all of our dogs.

All of our adopters are carefully screened to make sure that they have taken excellent care of any current and past pets. We realize that every dog is unique and we take great care to find the perfect match between your dog’s personality and the lifestyle of the adopting family.

Dog Surrender Policy

  1. Surrender Agreement: You must complete and sign our surrender agreement form, providing detailed and honest information about the dog’s health, behavior, and history.
  2. Dog Bite Policy: If the dog has a history of biting or aggressive behavior, you must disclose this information at the time of surrender. Failure to disclose known bite history may result in legal consequences.
  3. Transfer of Ownership: By surrendering your dog to GBGRR, you relinquish all ownership rights. The dog will become the property of our organization, and you will no longer have any claim to the dog.
  4. Finality of Surrender: The decision to surrender a dog to GBGRR is final. Once surrendered, GBGRR has full authority to make decisions in the best interest of the dog, including medical care, training, and rehoming.
