Adopt a Golden Gem

Golden Oldies, goldens in their senior years, can be some of the most loving companions you can have.

Before you adopt, consider a golden gem.

Adopt a Golden Gem

Golden gems, senior dogs age 8 and over, can be a perfect companion. Of all the ages of goldens, seniors seem to be the best companions. They have the wisdom to not sweat the small stuff as “they’ve been there, done that and are more than happy to show you how it’s done.” All a senior golden wants is to be near you; to be by your side through the good and bad, smiling that golden smile.

Golden gem ownership is filled with rewards and daily joys young dogs can’t provide until they reach maturity. Older goldens are much more low maintenance, self-assured, and better behaved than young energetic dogs. No chewing on the baseboards or your favorite heels. No frustrating potty training. No jumping up on you or your guests. Golden gems are much more gentle and are truly at that stage that we all look forward to: when these dogs become our life companions. Can you adopt a golden gem?

A forum for Golden Retriever fanciers to meet.

GRR members assist each other with advice and information about training, health problems, and local dog activities. Occasional social activities include the dogs and give GRR members and friends a chance to meet and enjoy the company of Golden Retrievers.
