Who We Are
Adopt a Golden Atlanta is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to finding warm, loving homes for golden retrievers to keep them from becoming strays or adding to the shelter population. To date we have rescued over 5,000 dogs at a cost of over $2,200 per dog. We do not reject any golden, no matter their medical or behavioral needs and work tirelessly to find that perfect fit with a "furever family".
Goldens are FURever Gala
Join us on Friday, May 1, 2026, at the beautiful Atlanta History Center for Adopt a Golden Atlanta’s signature event, the Golden Gala: “Goldens Are FURever.” Starting at 6:30 PM, guests will enjoy an elegant evening of delectable bites, signature cocktails, special entertainment, and a fabulous silent auction, all in celebration of the Golden Retrievers who inspire our mission. Guests may choose from a variety of sponsorship levels. Every dollar raised supports our lifesaving work.
