Adopt a Golden Retriever in New York

Golden Retrievers are intelligent, friendly, and devoted dogs that are natural people-pleasers. While they're popular as family pets, they do appear in rescue — often from situations where owners couldn't meet their exercise and grooming needs.

New York has a dedicated rescue dog community, with major organizations in New York City and throughout the state. Many NYC-area rescues transport dogs from overcrowded Southern shelters, giving adopters access to a wide variety of breeds.
