Athena's Story

Meet Athena! Athena is a stunning 1‑year‑old Husky with a bright spirit and a heart full of adventure. She arrived in our care alongside her partner, Loki the Golden Retriever (who has already been adopted), and their puppies. Now that her little puppies are older, Athena is ready for a joyful new chapter of her own. Still very much a puppy herself, Athena loves to play, romp with other dogs, and stretch her legs with plenty of running and exploring. She thrives on activity and would be happiest in a home that enjoys an energetic lifestyle—think hikes, long walks, or a big yard where she can zoom to her heart’s content. With her playful nature and youthful enthusiasm, Athena will make a wonderful companion for someone who’s excited to help her grow, learn, and enjoy all the fun the world has to offer. Please note we DO NOT adopt outside the state of Colorado and we DO REQUIRE a 6 foot fence. For safety reason we also DO NOT adopt to families with children under the age of 8. If you are interested in Athena please visit our website and READ our adoption guidelines and process and if you meet the qualifications, please fill out the application. https://www.goldenrescue.com/adoption-process/

Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies's Adoption Policy

ADOPTION PROCESS - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Please read prior to completing an adoption application There is a higher demand for younger to middle aged Golden Retrievers. We do not place on a first come, first served basis. We do not place Golden Retrievers outside of Colorado We rarely adopt dogs to apartments, condo’s or other housing with no yard. Potential adopters (entire family, including dogs) are required to come to the meet and greet at our location in Arvada, Colorado. This will be set up by an adoption coordinator with you. Many of the Golden Retrievers who come into our care are strays and we have no history on them such as: Are they good with children; do they get along with other dogs; how do they behave around cats and small pets; do they jump fences; are they house trained, etc. We do our best to get to know them while they are in our care, but there will always be good and bad surprises as an adoptive family gets to know the new Golden in their life. We rarely place dogs with families with children under 8 years old. This policy is for your safety as we do not have the background with most dogs as to know how they are with small children. GRRR is primarily operated by volunteers and unfortunately with only two staff we are unable to return phone calls and emails regarding application status. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. We cannot guarantee a Golden for every applicant. We look to find the best match for the needs of the Golden and the applicant Applicants must be at least 21 years old. We seldom have Golden Retrievers in our care who would be appropriate for placement in a home without a fenced yard or in an apartment.
