Golden Retriever Rescue of New Mexico is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We have been in business for over 25 years and have successfully placed more than 900 Goldens. We are here to help dogs find loving homes and to help you find a perfect match.We work hard to make sure that you have a dog that suits your family and your lifestyle. We are well thought of in the Albuquerque and New Mexico community.
You may have noticed that our website is not flashy with lots of “new” enhancements. It’s kind of like the country store that sells flour in sacks, root beer candies and hinges that you can get no where else.But browse through the ‘dogs’ section and you will see the heart of it.
Here is the process for getting a dog:
- Fill out our adoption application here
- AFTER you have filled out an application, you can call us to talk.
- Join our email list to hear about our dogs
Signing up for our email list means you will hear about any new dogs right away and you will be in on the ongoing discussion about the Golden Retriever scene in New Mexico.
See our currently available dogs by clicking on the dogs tab. You may see a number listed as *available* that is different from the pictures of dogs. Each post is considered an *available* post.
We do have a waiting list. The size of the wait list is not what is important. We place dogs by “match” rather than your place in line. The more information you provide in your application, the better we can match you to a dog. What we care most about is your ability to provide a loving home suited for and individual potential dog. Be honest and share as much as you can about the particularities of your household. If you really want a couch potato, tell us. If you love seniors or dogs with special needs, tell us. If you run 5 miles a day and want a triathlete to run with you, tell us that too.
We always have more people wanting dogs than we have dogs available. And sometimes we get or accept dogs who are not Golden Retrievers. They are assessed and treated with love, compassion and guidance. All the dogs are processed though our home base in the North Valley of Albuquerque This means we have a limited number of slots.
The information you put in your application is what we use to consider you for a given dog. More info is better.
