An Update from Adopt a Golden Atlanta 💛 Our AGA family continues to make it possible for us to say “yes!” to Goldens and High-Golden mixes who need us.

And as the number of orphans entering our program and the costs of their care continue to grow, we’re making a few updates to better reflect the reality of what it takes to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome each dog in our care. Beginning Tuesday, September 15, 2026, AGA will be implementing an updated application fee, adoption fee structure, and adoption application criteria. We’ve also updated our minimum age for adoption and fostering to 24 years old. For those already in the adoption process: applicants who have been approved, are in the process of being approved, or have submitted an application that has been accepted for consideration by 11:59 PM on September 14, 2026, will remain under the previous fee structure. And there’s some exciting news, too! 🐾 We’re introducing Volunteers in Training — a new opportunity for those ages 18–23 who want to get involved with AGA and help prepare our orphans for their forever homes. 💛 As we head into a new season, we’re incredibly grateful for the continued support of our AGA family. Every volunteer hour, donation, share, application, and helping hand allows us to keep showing up for the dogs who need us most. Thank you for being part of the AGA family and for helping us continue this journey — one Golden at a time. 🐶💛
