Tiki - Golden Retriever Dog For Adoption

View more

r was originally twelve puppies, and when they reached eight weeks old, the breeder surrendered the remaining four to us that were not sold. We are sometimes asked to take in puppies who are eight weeks old or older from breeders who take deposits at birth. Most families reserve their puppies early, but occasionally a few remain unreserved by the time they reach eight weeks. When that happens, the breeder transfers those puppies to us to make room for their upcoming litters. These girls have the classic Golden Retriever temperament everyone loves — soft, submissive, and eager to please. They’re happiest when they’re close to their people, soaking up affection and following you around with their gentle, wiggly enthusiasm. We did not see the parents, but based on their current size, they are not going to be large goldens. Possibly 50-60lbs. We are not a shelter, which means that the puppies are cared for in foster homes. Adoption Requirements A fencedin backyard is required (no invisible fences). If you live in a condo and do not have a fence due to HOA rules, we may approve leashwalking on a casebycase basis. An adult must be home more during the day to devote time to a puppy. Children in the household must be 8 years or older. Families with no dogs or one dog will be considered (no multiple-dog households). You agree to use a puppy pen, not a crate. Approved applicants will receive information on approved pens. Applicants must live in Indiana or neighboring states. We do not transport or ship puppies.

They are receiving regular deworming, age-appropriate vaccinations, flea and heartworm prevention, and will be microchipped before adoption. Puppies will not be spayed/neutered before adoption. Early spaying/neutering of Golden Retrievers can increase the risk of joint and hip issues.
