Golden Retriever

Helen1976

Hi all. I'm new here! I'm looking to rescue a Golden Retriever from a shelter or similar. I check most of them daily on Facebook but no joy so far.

If anyone hears of a Golden Retriever that needs a loving new home, please get in touch.

Thank you!

What part of the country are you in?

Helen1976

I'm in Munster but I will travel anywhere in the country!

Check out Pauline's Rescue. They have some lovely dogs there

There is actually a retriever specific rescue, a lady called Sandie Bissett in Dublin runs it - http://www.irishretrieverrescue.com/index.html they mainly send the dogs over to the UK for rehoming, but if you contact them, they may have a suitable dog.

Or contact the breed club through the IKC, they may have their own welfare system in place.

Helen1976

I contacted Irish Retriever Rescue but they are not re-homing any Irish dogs here at present. They're all going to the UK.

I also contacted the breed club but they don't have any dogs for re-homing at present.

Thanks for the replies!

check out Madra.ie, based in galway, great rescue charity

OP, are you going to the dogexpo this weekend in Galway? There are going to be a few rescue groups there, might be worth having a chat with them.

This is a handy wee site for looking at rescue dogs by breed and region http://www.irishanimals.ie/homes.html There are a few golden retrievers and retriever x's under labradors.

I wonder if you got in touch with the irish guide dogs association they may have a few older pups that didn't make the grade, think they use mostly golden retrievers and their x's.

Another site here that a lot of rescues and pound dogs are listed on http://www.petsireland.invisionzone.com/

Ah that's a pity, if he was neutered would this not help?

Helen1976

Seemingly not because he was neutered a few months ago.

Limerick Animal Welfare have a male Golden Retriever for rehoming. A young dog who was wandering as a stray. Will be neutered before rehoming and you need to have a fully secure garden.

Helen1976

Thanks everyone!

My search is on hold for the moment as there's a possibility that a family member might be leaving the country and will want me to take her Retriever

Watch this space...

Just to update...

We are adopting a 16 week old Golden Retriever puppy on Friday...he's a beauty, being re-homed through no fault of his own.

I got lots of helpful advice on here and I'm very thankful.

And special thanks to Suziwalsh

I'm still searching for a Golden Retriever to rehome!

Found a gorgeous one on a cork rescue website but they have somebody coming to view him at the weekend

I'll have to keep on searching!

RubyGirl

There is a young golden retriever on the rehoming thread here, did you have a look at him.

marley123

Did you find a Retreiver in the end?

Anybody know of a golden retriever in need of a family as we are thinking about getting one? Youngish but not a puppy. If you see any will you post on here please?
thanks

anniehoo

juneg as this is a 3 year old thread and the OP is sorted, it's best to start a new thread on your request.

Best of luck
