Many people have asked why the IEGRR has mostly older dogs on our web site. The answer is simple. We handle dogs of all ages, but younger dogs go very quickly. They are adopted by persons who have already submitted adoption applications and are waiting. If you are considering adopting a rescued golden retriever please don't be discouraged that you don't see young dogs on the web site. We encourage you to fill out and mail in an adoption application. The IEGRR does have a waiting list but it is relatively short compared to other golden rescues.
