This sweetheart came from a puppy mill, and was used for breeding and not much else. She's learning to socialize in a foster home, and learning house manners. Molly is 3 years old, and is shy, but with TLC, she will eventually come out of her shell to become awesome additions to a family with another dog or two and a completely fenced-in yard.
Is this a cute face or what? This 10-year-old guy was used for breeding and now has house-hunting to look forward to. An easy-going fella, he's good with other dogs and kids. All he needs is a new place to lay his head, lots of love and he'll be good to go. What a great way to start a new year for him!
Sammi has spent the first three years of her life pumping out puppies at a mill. This mill mama is sooo sweet! As is typical of mill dogs, she's a little behind in the social graces and, so, is on the shy side. But that's only temporary. Once she knows the kindness and love of her person(s), she will be a great addition to any home. Because of their background, all the dogs we get from puppy mills must have another dog and a fenced-in yard.
This sweet 7-year old spent the first part of her life being a mom to litter after litter. Finally able to break away from that life, she's has settled into a normal dog life and is doing great. She learned the ropes quickly from her two foster siblings about going in and out to potty, she learned how to do stairs, she was already housebroken so she is not being crated. She is coming out of her shell more and more every day, learning how to pick up toys & balls , learning how to chew on bones and she has fallen in love with a little purple stuffed bear that she LOVES to carry around and show off.
Laney - this cutie patootie is 6 years young. When her previous owners divorced, she was left without a place to lay her head. Laney is a typical Golden--loves people, gets along with other dogs and cats, and is good with kids. What more can you ask for? Do you have somewhere she can lay her head?
This is a bonded pair of males, given up because of health issues of their previous owner. Typical goldens, they're active, eager to please and are 3 & 5 years old. They get along well with everything--other dogs, kids and cats. Harley is heartworm positive and is going through treatment right now. Dakota has epilepsy.They're asking for a new home for the new year. Can you help?
Sam - don't let the name fool you. Sam (maybe short for Samantha?) is just 18 months old and was used to breed. She's one of the fortunate ones who managed to find her way out of that situation. She's now on her way to a much better life. Obviously, she's not had much in the way of training or affection, so she's got some catching up to do. What will help her most, beside a loving family, is another dog. She's on the shy side at first, but once she knows you're her friend, she's all good. A fence is an absolute.
JJ - this guy is a senior, at least 12 years old. His original owner died and there was no suitable place for him, so he became a Golden Treasure. He's a big guy and was extremely overweight, but since being with us, he's gotten most of the weight off. This sweet but stubborn boy, in the twilight of his life, deserves a home where he can live out his life. Because of his age, he has a little trouble walking on uncarpeted floors, so we're looking for a home that has mostly carpeting, or can put down rubber-backed runners to help him along, and limited stairs. He's good with other dogs and with cats. We know he has a stubborn streak, but when you're that old, you're entitled to be stubborn. No children, please. Got any room for him?
Bogie- we found him sitting nervously in his run at the shelter. Staff said he was stressed, so didn't "show well" and they were afraid nobody would like him. When we got there, what we found was a sweet 6-year-old male golden mix (he has some white on his paws), who was only looking for someone to love. He's turning into a velcro dog, but he's still a little fearful, so we're stipulating no kids. He takes a few minutes to warm up to people, but once he does, he's good to go. He also gets along with other dogs..
We've had Logan a while, but haven't found the right home for him yet. He's a nice dog, enjoying his foster home, but we know deep down, he wants a forever home. He's 10 years old and used to live with a doodle dog. He loves rides in the car. Logan is reactive when he meets other dogs but we are currently doing behavior modification to help him overcome this issue. We are looking for a home that is willing to continue working with Logan and we will provide free transitional training to help. Logan is a great dog that deserves a great home!
Seth- Anyone up for a game of fetch? Or maybe a great hike in the MetroPark? Seth is a 9 month old fabulous golden guy who is game for anything fun. He walks like a dream on the leash and is polite when meeting other dogs and humans. He will play fetch as long as you can throw the ball and also loves a game of tug. Anyone looking for an agility dog? He can already go thru the tunnel and up over the aframe (thanks to his foster friends!).
He has excellent crate and xpen skills. Good around children but will need to be supervised because his happy body and wagging tail can be pretty powerful!!
As long as you have the time to play and exercise this fabulous young dog he will be an amazing companion!!
Here's one of our new arrivals from Turkey. It was a long trip for him, but he's so worth it. At about 2 years old, he has some medical issues that we're addressing. Once we get that resolved, he's good to go. He loves people and other dog, but at the top of his list is toys! He hoards them on his bed (probably his first ever bed). His ideal home would have another young dog to play with, to help expend all his energy. Adoption fee for Dodi is $800.
