Our Mission

Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon, Inc.
A 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation
Federal ID No. 93-1112566

Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon, Inc. is a volunteer run, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Golden Retrievers. Our mission is to find caring, adoptive homes for Goldens in need and to educate the public to prevent the homeless Goldens of the future. Goldens in need of new homes come from a variety of circumstances. Some come to us due to compelling family situations such as death, divorce, family illness, relocation or economic hardship. Other Goldens are released to rescue because of behavior problems due to lack of exercise and poor understanding of the needs of the breed. Since our beginnings in 1990, we have successfully placed over 1000 Goldens with new loving families.

We would like to remind anyone interested in adopting a Golden Retriever that there is no source (including breeders, kennels, humane societies, rescue organizations) for a guaranteed perfect or pre-trained dog (even if they are Goldens!).

Like many rescue organizations, we offer the benefits of being able to provide dogs who are already spayed or neutered, who have had a sound fundamental health examination, and whose temperament is fairly well known (since they have all lived with our foster families).

Some of our dogs have not had a loving family in the past — but many have. Some may have behavioral problems — but many do not. And some need special medical care — just as most any dog will eventually. Many of our dogs need some level of training. All of our dogs need significant amounts of time, attention, patience, and love to adjust to their forever homes. Golden Bond Rescue is a resource for people who would like to give Golden Retrievers (or dogs that are mostly Golden) a second chance in life.

A heartfelt "Thank You" to all who have contributed to Golden Bond in the past. Please remember that the need is ongoing and donations are tax deductible. Learn more about how to make a donation.
