𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 🩷 Lainey was a breeder dog in Oklahoma who retired and came to AGA. She is 7 years old and 65 pounds. Unfortunately, Lainey has been diagnosed with an inoperable cancer and is looking for a permanent foster who is local to the Atlanta area (she is in no pain currently). AGA will cover all of her medical care, and all you will need to provide is a loving home for this next chapter of her life. Lainey is extremely sweet. She is fully house-trained, loves to give hugs, and is good with kids (even small ones) and other dogs. She does not have a prey drive, so she may also get along with cats. 🩷 She loves affection and attention. She knows how to sit and shake, walks wonderfully on the leash, and loves a good bone. 🦴 So, if you’ve ever thought about making a difference for a dog that needs it… 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙎 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙈𝙊𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏. 🐾 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗙𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘆.

ADOPTED! Benji has found his FOREVER! Benji came to AGA when a breeder reached out to surrender a one-year-old, stud dog that made it clear he had no interest in that life. Benji was living in a barn with the other males and had been very sheltered from everyday sounds, movements, and life outside the barn. He was so scared at intake, paralyzed with fear, and wouldn’t walk. Soon after getting into his foster home with three other goldens, he quickly realized he was safe. He bonded with the pack immediately and followed all their moves. Somewhere along the way, his foster family realized they couldn’t imagine life without him and knew he needed them too. Benji, now named Goose, is the seventh AGA dog adopted by his forever family. Goose has continued to thrive and has started running, playing, chewing on bones, and enjoying wrestling with his brothers. Goose is pure joy, and it’s so great to see him so happy with his pack. Congratulations, Goose - you hit the jackpot! 💛 #Adopted #GoldenLove #HappilyEverAfter #rescue #rescuedog #goldens #goldenretriever #goldenoftheday #golden #adoptdontshop #makeadogsday #love #truth #dog #dogs #adopt #adopted #happy #puppy #happydog #happiness #dogfamily #family #life #goldenretrieversofinstagram #dailygolden #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenretrieverlove #goldens #pets

*Thank you for all the interest and love for Ozzie! If you’re interested in him, please review our adoption process on our website and if you meet the criteria- you can apply. Please note we do not operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. Our goal is to find the perfect match for the dog and the adoptive family. Approved or in-process applicants please reach out to your Application Coordinator* 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗭𝗭𝗜𝗘! 💙 Ozzie is a 3-year-old golden boy weighing about 75 pounds. He was found as a stray by a kind good samaritan who brought him to a local shelter. When no one claimed this handsome fellow, AGA welcomed him with open arms. For almost two months now, Ozzie has been living his best life in foster care — and he has settled in so nicely! This loving, sweet, active boy is ready to find the family he can call his own. 🐾 Ozzie LOVES having doggy friends! His foster has two AGA Goldens, and Ozzie has become the best of buds with both of them. 🥰🐶 He also absolutely LOVES to run and play, so a fenced yard is a must for him. Ozzie is a happy, enthusiastic boy who can get a little jumpy when he’s excited; he loves to give kisses, and he even gives THE BEST hugs. Because of his enthusiasm and goofy personality, he would do best with older kids who can match his play style! This affectionate, fun-loving boy has so much love to give, and we know he is going to make a fantastic family dog! ❤️ He is house-trained, and would love someone who is home most of the day (stay-at-home or work-from-home), as his favorite place to be is by your side.

ADOPTED! Bean had a difficult start in life. For much of her early years, she lived outdoors in a runner and later found herself being rehomed through Facebook Marketplace. Unfortunately, her new situation wasn't what she deserved, as she spent long periods confined to a crate. Wanting a better future for her, her owner made the loving decision to reach out to AGA so Bean could have the chance to find the life she had always deserved. Despite the challenges she faced, Bean never lost her sweet spirit. She remained a loving, affectionate girl who greeted everyone she met with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart. Bean's new mom was already familiar with the joy of adoption as a previous AGA adopter. She was looking for a companion for her 9-year-old Golden Retriever, Hannah. After a successful introduction between the two dogs, it was clear that Bean had found her match. As a retiree with plenty of time and love to give, her new mom knew she could provide the caring home Bean had been waiting for. Now affectionately known as Beanie, she has embraced her new life with enthusiasm. She has charmed the entire family, including children and grandchildren, and loves being at the center of every gathering. According to her mom, Beanie adores toys, especially her beloved stuffies, has never met a meal she didn't enjoy, and happily curls up next to her every night. Beanie and Hannah have become wonderful companions. Together they spend their days exploring the fenced backyard, playing, and enjoying the simple pleasures of being dogs. After years of uncertainty, Beanie is finally experiencing what every dog deserves: a loving family, a warm bed, plenty of toys, and a best friend by her side. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that it's never too late for a second chance, and Beanie's future is filled with all the love, happiness, and adventures she has always deserved. #Adopted #GoldenLove #HappilyEverAfter #rescue #rescuedog #goldens #goldenretriever #goldenoftheday #golden #adoptdontshop #makeadogsday #love

ADOPTED! Some stories are just meant to be. Clifford’s journey began when he was taken in by a kind friend after his original owner was forced to give him up because of a landlord’s restrictions. Hoping to find him the perfect home, his temporary caretaker did everything he could, but after two months, Clifford was still spending 12–15 hours a day alone — often crated or left on the back porch. Knowing Clifford deserved so much more, he reached out to us for help. When this sweet couple lost their beloved Golden Retriever in March, they weren’t just grieving a dog; they were missing their walking partner, their snuggle buddy, and the faithful foot warmer who had been part of their everyday life. At the same time, Clifford needed someone to give him the life he deserved. Then came the perfect match. The moment this couple met Clifford, they fell in love. They saw not just a handsome pup, but the chance to open their hearts again. And Clifford found exactly what he’d been waiting for — a family ready for long walks, endless cuddles, and a warm furry friend by their feet once again. His new dad works from home full-time, so the days of spending long hours alone are behind him. Instead, Clifford will have constant companionship, plenty of attention, opportunities for walks and playtime, and all the cozy naps by his favorite person’s feet. With a love for people and other dogs, we know he’s going to thrive in his new home. Sometimes the right dog finds the right family at exactly the right time. Happy Adoption, Clifford! Wishing you a lifetime of adventures, naps, belly rubs, and unconditional love. #Adopted #GoldenLove #HappilyEverAfter #rescue #rescuedog #goldens #goldenretriever #goldenoftheday #golden #adoptdontshop #makeadogsday #love #truth #dog #dogs #adopt #adopted #happy #puppy #happydog #happiness #dogfamily #family #life #goldenretrieversofinstagram #dailygolden #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenretrieverlove #goldens #pets

ADOPTED! At 6.5 years old, sweet Shimmer has been through more than most - which makes sharing that she has found her forever home even more special! Shimmer (now Lolly) came to AGA alongside her lifelong companions, Dalton and Finny, after their beloved owner passed away. Shortly after, the trio arrived at AGA ready to leave that chapter behind and find what she had been missing most - a family to love and to belong again. And that’s exactly what she found! Lolly’s amazing new mom and dad lost their own beloved fur baby last year and came to AGA hoping to open their hearts and home to a sweet dog in need. Lolly was just their perfect match! With her new dad working from home, this affectionate girl will have plenty of companionship and attention she has been waiting so patiently for. No more barn life for this sweet girl - Lolly’s days are now filled with soft beds, games of fetch, plenty of belly rubs, and most importantly, knowing she is loved and home for good. 💕 Happy tails, Lolly! We are so happy for this new chapter for you. #Adopted #GoldenLove #HappilyEverAfter #rescue #rescuedog #goldens #goldenretriever #goldenoftheday #golden #adoptdontshop #makeadogsday #love #truth #dog #dogs #adopt #adopted #happy #puppy #happydog #happiness #dogfamily #family #life #goldenretrieversofinstagram #dailygolden #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenretrieverlove #goldens #pets

ADOPTED! Dorothy was found as a stray, roaming the streets with Rose. These two had built a friendship out of survival; however, they were happy to find separate loving families. Well, success - she is HOME!! Dorothy (aka Dory-Maple-Hazel-Tillie-Turtle) is now going through a new naming contest as well as a Halloween costume contest! She and her new 4-legged sister, Phoebe, strutted their stuff dressed as their favorite characters. It's obvious this Halloween and many more holidays to come over the years, will be filled with treats instead of tricks for this sweet girl! In addition to her costumed partner, Dorothy now has a mom who is home most of the time, a dad who loves her, human brothers and sister, a fenced yard to play in and a bonus; a lake for swimming! We know Dorothy will thrive in her new home surrounded with love and fun! Thank you to all that helped Dorothy find her way home.
