Interested in skipping the puppy stage?
Adopting a Vorderosa Retired Dog can be just as rewarding as bringing home a puppy—sometimes even more so. Our retired dogs are affectionate companions who love to cuddle, enjoy calm companionship, and are past the high-energy demands of puppyhood. They are well-socialized, trained, and eager to become loyal members of a new family. At Vorderosa Retrievers, we occasionally have retired dogs available for adoption and are looking for loving, relaxed homes where they can thrive. If you’re interested in giving one of our dogs a furever home, please fill out the Application Form to get started.
