Mission

Adopt a Golden Nashville is a 501(c)( 3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, evaluation, and placement of abandoned or unwanted Golden Retrievers. We promote the understanding, appreciation and care of canines among the public through education about responsible pet ownership. We endeavor to raise awareness regarding the extraordinary unwanted pet population and do our part to decrease it.

Background

Adopt A Golden Nashville was founded in 1998. AGN rescues approximately 150 Golden Retrievers and Golden Retriever mixes each year. Since our founding we have rescued and re-homed over 3000 dogs in the Middle Tennessee area.

Impact

Since our founding in 1998, AGN (formerly Middle TN Golden Retriever Rescue) has helped over 3000 dogs in our community find forever loving homes. AGN never says no to a Golden Retriever in need. Regardless of age or medical condition, we have over seventy volunteers at the ready to assist any Golden at any time.

Needs

Raise $40,000 in 2020/2021 to help cover increasing costs of veterinary expenses. Approximately 40 percent of dogs we take into our program are heart worm positive. Heart worm treatment costs can surpass $1200 per dog for complete treatment. Recruit additional fundraising, administrative, and foster volunteers.
