Golden Retriever Puppy Rescue - Is It Worth Adopting There?

Have you aver thought about adopting a pup from a Golden Retriever puppy rescue? Well, it is definitely a better place to adopt a pup than a pet store. And it may even be as good as adopting puppy from a reputable breeder because people at a Golden Retriever puppy rescue really care about finding new loving family for their fosterling.

To tell the truth there are not so many puppies in rescues. Adult dogs are much more common. But pups may end up in a rescue for various reasons. Sometimes officials close puppy a mill or a breeders needs to shut down their operations and find a new home for their puppies very fast. Sometimes puppies are given up by individuals for a number of reasons. Sometimes even a pregnant Golden Retriever female may be brought to the rescue or just found roaming it the streets and the rescue will have to find homes for mother and puppies.

Anyway, here is a pup in a Golden Retriever puppy rescue. What happens next? Fist of all, the pup goes through the medical examination. This will normally include de-worming process, vaccination update, elbow and hip dysplasia examination, heart-worm examination, eyes checking etc. The pup will be given respective medical help if necessary. It will also be bathed. As the part of responsible pet ownership the pup will be spayed or neutered to avoid any undesired offspring. There are already too many homeless dogs, right?

Golden Retriever puppy rescue also provides its fosterling with socialization and basic training. Some pups that end up in a rescue may have suffered abuse from humans so they need to go trough rehabilitation process to be able to adapt to conditions of their new home easier.

As you see Golden Retriever puppy rescue cares about pups almost like a reputable breeder would. The rescue will also provide you with complete results of pup's medical examination and information about puppy's character to make sure you understand medical and mental condition of a pup in care it's not 100% healthy. Remember, they will have to take the pup back in case something goes wrong. It's in their best interest to make sure you adopt a pup responsibly and consciously. So you are not buying a pig in a poke adopting from a rescue. However, the rescue will also require something from you in return.

Fist of all, it is highly plausible that you will not find a pup in your local rescue at once. You may need to be patient and wait for several weeks after submitting your application before the right pup will show up in the rescue. Second, a volunteer or rescue employee will pay you a home visit to find out if your home is appropriate for Golden Retriever puppy and if you are able to take care of it. So you'll have to meet certain criteria.

Finally, in most cases you'll need to pay an adoption fee in some form. Normally, it's not high and adopting a pup from a rescue will cost you less than getting one from a reputable breeder. Recues use this money to pay the veterinary and boarding bills and actually make ends meet and run smoothly. So they'll spend the money they got for rescuing another pup.
