Sometimes we want a Golden but we just don’t have the time for a puppy. There are many Goldens out there looking for a home for one reason or another. Sometimes they need a little training, or they grew bigger then the owner thought, maybe it was just because and then other times there was a divorce, loss of job or death in the family that has caused the family to give them up but in all cases they all are looking and deserve a loving forever home of their own. If you would like a Golden but don't want to have to deal with 3 time a day feedings, coming home for lunch time walks, housebreaking, or puppy chewing, or would like to know what color, size and temperament your golden will be Please check into As Good as Gold - Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois

Meet Duncan:


Duncan is approximately 4 years old and was found as a stray. His foster family reports he's loving and snuggly, smart and curious, and walks well on a leash. In addition, he understands basic obedience commands. Duncan's forever home will include active adults with no children and no other dogs.

Meet Gabby:

Gabby is a sweet, affectionate 10-year old female whose family relinquished her due to poor health. She likes to go for car rides and walks on a leash, hugs, and being petted. Gabby is slightly arthritic and doesn't do well on stairs so her forever home should be one level and could include another dog.
