Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon

As of June 1, 2011 Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon will no longer adopt dogs to families with children under 10 years old. Please see Kids and Dogs for specifics.

Please see instructions on the Before You Start page prior to completing the application. Then download the application, complete and add a separate sheet with any information you wish to tell us. It helps us if you print neatly and use ONLY BLACK INK when filling out the application by hand. Or, please type your application and PRINT IN ONLY BLACK INK.

The application is available for download as a PDF file and a Word document:

• Golden Bond Rescue Adoption Application (PDF)
  To view a PDF file, you will need the Acrobat Reader.
• Golden Bond Rescue Adoption Application (MS Word)

Please Note: You must fill out ALL questions completely in order to have your application processed in a timely manner. We are volunteers and when we have to call you to complete your questionnaire, your application is delayed considerably in processing. This especially applies to the FENCING QUESTIONS! We require a fenced enclosure and need to know the details of your fenced area. Please read our page on Fence Requirements for specifics.

Fees and Agreements: Due to the effort required to process adoption applications for a Golden Bond Rescue Golden, a $25.00 non-refundable fee is required with each application. Return Adopters need not send the $25.00 application fee with their application (Please write "Return Adopter" at the top of your application.)  When you have met the Golden you wish to adopt, and all five steps of the adoption process have been completed and approved, the adoption fee is due.

Our adoption fees are:

• Under 1 year of age: $400.00
• 1 to 3 years of age: $300.00
• 4 to 8 years of age: $250.00
• 9 years and older and special needs: $100.00
• Pairs: $100 off the full cost of the two dogs if the total is over $200.00

If you adopt from Golden Bond Rescue, we require that you sign an adoption agreement. The adoption agreement is in two parts. The first part is a liability waiver — we cannot guarantee anything. The second part is our "terms of adoption".

The required postage for mailing an application is approximately $2.00-$2.15. Please be sure you have the correct postage. The post office will return envelopes requiring additional postage, holding up your application. We do not accept applications sent by email or fax.

Mail completed form to:

Golden Bond Rescue, Inc.

Mulino, OR 97042
(503) 892-2897

Our adoption requirements include:

• A fenced yard (Please read the page on Fence Requirements for specifics.).
• Home Ownership: Home ownership is as must. Sorry, we do not adopt to families renting apartments or houses.

• No adoptions to families with kids under 10 years old.
• Dog treated as member of the family.
  Dog must be kept in the house and treated like one of the family. They are not to be isolated in a seperate room, or left out in the yard.
• Adoption fee as stated above (reduced fee for Seniors and Special Needs dogs).
• Signed Adoption Agreement.

If you decide for any reason that you are no longer interested in adopting a Golden from us, please contacts us immediately. We will remove you from our active list.
