As Good as Gold

As Good as Gold was found in 2003 in a Wheaton living room by 13 caring individuals.

As Good as Gold – Golden Retriever Rescue of Illinois is dedicated to the rescue, care and adoption of Golden Retrievers and golden mixes who are in need. In addition, As Good as Gold educates Golden Retriever guardians and the general public about the importance of spaying/neutering, positive training methods, diet and exercise, appropriate medical treatment and humane care.

As Good as Gold takes in goldens and golden mixes in need. They come from previous owners, shelters as well as Turkey and Puerto Rico. They are all fostered in the homes of our members, we do not own a boarding facility. While in our care, we take care of any medical needs and also assess their personality. This is used in matching them to their forever home so that the dog and the family are the best possible match.
