Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue & Sanctuary

"We have been very pleased with our experience with adopting a new pet golden retriever through Homeward Bound. Team of volunteers have been very helpful throughout the entire process on the initial intake through the home suitability inspection to helping us plan our visit to their premise near Sacramento, where we found and adopted a wonderful 3-year-old golden retriever. They provided us with all of the necessary essentials from food to a leash, collar, and harness, as well as a sleeping crate and bed pad. I'd highly endorse them for anybody looking for a new golden retriever pet."

"Editing review to add more stars. Thanks to Carolyn for reaching out and making a difference to help find these pups loving homes. (Original 2 star review) While I'm sure this is a wonderful place I'm extremely disappointed by their false hope of "exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis" in terms of having a fenced yard. During the application process they made zero attempt to find additional info about what kind of home a dog would be accepted into. Please remove that from your website if there's no attempt made in getting dogs good homes."

"Very knowledgeable and helpful. We have had the best experience with Homeward Bound and our new addition Zoey. Highly recommend them. I wouldn't go anywhere else to adopt."

"Found my best friend here almost 8 years ago. I remember the staff being very sweet. They also sent over somebody to check out our house to ensure it would be a good environment for a dog, which is very responsible. Twix passed away last year at 13. He had the sweetest temperament I’ve ever seen in a dog. I will always cherish our time together."

"My wife and I recently adopted a golden retriever from Homeward Bound, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to get to know us and our lifestyle, so they could help us find the perfect dog. Once we met our new golden, we were immediately smitten. She is the sweetest, most loving dog we could have ever asked for. The shelter is very clean and well-maintained. The dogs all have spacious kennels and plenty of fresh food and water. It is clear that the staff cares deeply about the animals and is committed to finding them good homes. I am so grateful to Homeward Bound for helping us find our new furry friend."
