Helping Dogs and People Play Through!

Adopt a Golden Atlanta [AGA] is a volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to finding warm, loving permanent homes for Golden Retrievers [both purebred and high golden mixes] in order to prevent them from becoming strays or adding to the shelter overpopulation.

If a non-golden is best friends with a golden who is surrendered to us, non golden will not be left behind and will accompany the golden into our program and placed with the golden to live together in their new home.

Golden Retrievers, regardless of medical needs or age, will receive comprehensive evaluation, spay/neutering services, veterinary care, behavioral training if required, and safe passage into a permanent loving home.

In addition to providing those services, Adopt a Golden Atlanta is intent on treating dog owners who are faced with surrendering their dogs with the utmost respect, understanding and compassion. It is also our obligation to educate and assist the metropolitan Atlanta general public, and dog owners specifically, regarding issues such as responsible pet ownership, spay/neutering, obedience training, and veterinary/specialists referrals.

Our goal is to reduce the number of Golden Retrievers sent to shelters. AGA will never allow a golden to die in a shelter. AGA relies solely on donations and has a 501(c)(3) classification with the IRS. Your donation is tax deductible. We also meet the requirements for corporate matching, employee giving and volunteer grant programs.

I was found with my sister Sabine as lost strays by the nice shelter people.  Our names are not our own, we have nothing except what other people have given us.  My new doctor says I have heartworms and that scares me because I need to pay the doctor money and you surely have guessed that I (or other dogs) do not have any.  I did my best taking care of Sabine because at about 4 years old, I am a grown up.  Some think Sabine could be my little daughter but I don’t remember.  Even if she isn’t, she is just like my own little girl.  I am glad she didn’t get heartworms, but for now I need a “sponsor” to send money for the medicine I need.  We have each been pretty nervous but try to stay sweet and not make any trouble for anyone.  Please come to meet us.  We are so happy to be on our way to a healthy and new life.  Love you a lot, Satin
