Adoption Payments

GRRA adoption fees are as follows:

​​

• Purebred Golden Retriever and Purebred Lab puppies under 1 year old: $1100

• All other dogs under 1 year old:  $850

• 1 through 4 years old: $800

• 5 through 7 years old: $650

• 8 years old and older: $350

• Senior dog (8 years old and older) to senior applicant (70 years old and older): No charge

​

* The average cost to GRRA for vetting dogs and the medical care given to each dog to prepare them for adoption is significantly more than the adoption fees. The difference is subsidized by donations and grants. Over 95% of all monies received directly benefit the dogs, mostly for medical procedures and behavioral training. The remainder covers necessary business expenses such as licenses, permits and volunteer insurance. Any and all additional contributions are very much appreciated!

If there are exceptions to this fee schedule for a specific dog, that information will be posted on the dog's profile page.
