Obtaining an Adult Golden
Not all households can handle raising a puppy—it can be a LOT of work! If you feel an adult Golden Retriever would be a better choice for your family, consider contacting As Good As Gold (Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois) at http://www.asgoodasgold.org/to talk with a knowledgeable person about adopting an adult Golden.
Reputable breeders may also seek homes for older puppies and adult Golden Retrievers. You may want to visit the links provided under the “Breeder Referrals” section below.
