WHO WE ARE
Wisconsin Adopt a Golden Retriever is an all volunteer, foster-based Golden Retriever rescue organization serving the state of Wisconsin and parts of Illinois since 2005.
Our mission is to provide bright new beginnings to displaced Golden Retrievers.
ADOPTION APPLICATION STATUS: CLOSED
As of 6/22/2020, we are not accepting general adoption applications due to a large amount of pre-approved adopters on our wait list. Typically, applications stay closed for a month or so in order to process all existing applications and to be fair to our current applicants.
Make sure to watch our various social media channels
and to check back once we are able to reopen!

LIVES SAVED
For 15 years, WAAGR has been working every day to ensure no golden feels unwanted. We reach places as far away as Puerto Rico, Lebanon, and China. Our love and compassion for these animals shows through our small team of volunteers that tirelessly strive towards our goal of having every golden end the day in a warm bed surrounded by a loving family.
did you
know?
In 2019, WAAGR spent an average of $688 per dog. These costs come from medical bills, transfer costs, behavioral training, etc. Our adoption fee is only $450 per dog, so this is why donations and fundraising are so critical to keep our rescue going.
