In developing our Adoption Program Donation Structure we carefully balance our commitment to returning these gentle goldens to good health and providing forever homes with the goal of making adoptions affordable to deserving and qualified families. The not-for-profit context of the Emerald Coast Golden Retreiver Rescue (ECGRR) requires us to collect donations and organize fund raisers to complete our stated mission. All funds collected are used exclusively for these gentle dogs. ECGRR members volunteer their time, transportation and administration services; they receive no compensation.
The following donation structure represents the minimum donation required to complete our mission; however, we greatly appreciate any donation beyond the minimum! We accept cash, money orders or Pay Pal.

1. All adoption contributions include all vaccinations, spay or neuter services. When a dog is adopted prior to being spayed or neutered (due to medical condition or maybe not old enough) there will be an additional $150.00 spay/neuter deposit. The deposit will be refunded when proof that the dog has been spayed/neutered at one of the ECGRR vets (at ECGRR expense) provided the procedure is arranged by ECGRR. NOTE: ECGRR typically does not authorize the pre-surgery blood work unless there is a medical reason to do so. If the adopter chooses to have the dog spayed/neutered by a vet that does not partner with ECGRR, ECGRR will refund the adopter the cost of the spay/neuter up to $100 in addition to refunding the $150 spay/neuter deposit. 2. ECGRR will disclose any known health issues prior to adoption. 3. The 2012 average expense of rescue through ECGRR was $352.00. 4. Medical care (i.e., spay/neutering, heartworm treatment, etc…) accounts for 97 percent of our funds.
Please be generous with your donations. You will be richly rewarded.
