Retriever, Golden

Mae

Female, 6 years, 65 lbs. In foster care.

Available
$500
Adoption fee

Mae is slowly but surely coming out of her shell and discovering the joys of life outside of a breeder’s care. Every day she learns something new about what it means to be part of a family, and it’s been beautiful to watch her blossom.

She’s figured out that being indoors is pretty great — she can come in and out as she pleases, meals arrive twice a day (and she loves that), dog beds are cozy, chew toys are fun, and other dogs make excellent company. Walking on a leash is still a little scary, but she’s already braver than she was when she first arrived.

Mae has a gentle heart and so much love to give. She’s sweet, soft‑natured, and ready to continue her journey with a family who will guide her kindly and celebrate each step she takes.

If you’re looking for a tender, blossoming girl who’s learning how wonderful life can be, Mae would love a family to call her own.

Apply to adopt MaeRead requirements before you applyAdoption FAQApplying for Mae does not guarantee placement. We match on fit.

Interested? Here is what happens next.

  1. Submit an ApplicationComplete our adoption application after reviewing the Adoption Requirements and FAQs. Please answer every question completely, as incomplete applications cannot be processed. You're welcome to indicate interest in a specific dog, but because our commitment is to the right match, requesting a particular dog does not guarantee placement.
  2. Phone Interview & Home VisitAfter your application is reviewed, a GRFR volunteer will contact you if you meet our adoption requirements. A phone interview to learn more about your family, home, lifestyle, and expectations, then a home visit to ensure your home is a safe environment for a dog. ALL household members and resident dogs/pets MUST be present during the home visit.
  3. Meet Your MatchWhen one of our foster volunteers believes a dog may be a good fit for your family, they'll contact you to arrange a meet-and-greet. If you receive a voicemail or text message from a foster, you must respond within 24 hours. If you do not respond the foster home will move on to the next approved applicant.
