Available Goldens

Last Updated: 29 June 2009

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
Due to the overwhelming number of Goldens we now have waiting to come into rescue, we find ourselves unable to take them in because we lack proper foster home placement. Anyone wishing to help, please contact treasurer@goldheart.org.

The Golden Retrievers posted here are all new arrivals and current available Goldens. The dogs with a bio beside their picture also have contact information for their foster home listed. Please, only contact the foster home if you are already approved to adopt by GoldHeart. We encourage you to fill out an application so we can start qualifying you and your family so that you are ready to adopt when the right dog for you comes along.

Crissy (GH-559)

Crissy is 12.5 years young. She is a special golden oldie with a great personality. She recently underwent surgery to have 3 large fatty tumors removed and a small tumor on her eyelid and she came through the surgery with flying colors and is recovering nicely. She has become alot more active since the surgery. Crissy is the perfect house guest with wonderful manners. Crissy can do limited steps and is completely reliable in the house. She gets along well with the other dogs and is good with the cats in her foster home. She is on medication 2x a day for seizures but has not had one for over a year. The medication is very inexpensive.

Crissy just needs someone to love her and give her a nice spot beside your bed and she will return that love 100 times over. If you have a GoldHeart approved application and home visit you can contact Crissy's foster mom at babischaef@comcast.net. Don't miss a Golden opportunity to give this wonderful girl a good home.

Crissy - GH-559


Dusty (GH-558)

Dusty found himself homeless when his owners lost their home. He is 12 years young and has gotten a clean bill of health, he does have a fatty tumor on his forehead that won't be removed because of his age, he is reliably housebroken. He gets along fine with other dogs but would prefer a quiet home and would do best as an only dog. He is good with the cats. He's also been around children from ages 2-15. He will just go lay down if they bug him too much. Shadow would have been a great name for him because he follows you everywhere. If you want someone who will swim with you and go for walks (not a marathon) Dusty is your boy. If you have an approved application and home visit you can contact Dusty's foster mom at carol_ruell@yahoo.com.

Murphy - GH-568

Murphy (GH-568)

Murphy is new to the rescue and is currently under evaluation. Please check back for his bio.


Rocky (GH-560)

Rocky came into the rescue with his brother, Tucker. Rocky is a beautiful, active, 80 pound 2 yr old. He is housebroken and does okay in a crate, but sometimes barks for awhile when first put in it. Rocky has had no training, pulls hard on a leash, but listens to direction. He rides well in the car. He will also countersurf and get into the trash if given the chance. Rocky is a very friendly guy, but, he jumps up & gets excited when meeting people. He loves children; will jump on them too. He gets along with his 2 foster brothers. He has not been tested with cats in his foster home. He really hates thunderstorms. He barks (loud) when excited or when afraid.

Rocky - GH-560


Rocky is a needy Golden; he does not like to be alone. He loves being close to his humans. With a little time, training and patience Rocky will be a wonderful addition to an adoptive home. He would do best in a home where someone is home much of the day and with another dog. (He would love it if his brother, Tucker were the other dog).

If you are interested in Rocky, have had a home visit and been approved to adopt. Contact foster mom at FinkFL@ptd.net.


Rose - GH-563

Rose (GH-563)

Rose is a beautiful reddish Golden with a big heart. She has done very well in her foster home and is now ready to find her forever home. Rose is obedient when called and will sit and lie down on command. When she visited the vet recently for a booster shot she sat quietly at my feet watching the other pets in the waiting room. She has a lot of energy and loves to run having made friends with our border collie who is also 1 1/2 years old. She is on the small side weighing 55 pounds at present although she needs to gain weight which she is happily doing. She rides well in a car and likes the crate we have for her. I think Rose will do best in a home where someone is home most of the time especially while she is still young and learning what is expected of her. If you would like more information about Rose and have an approved application and home visit you can contact her foster mom at LMAZZAW@aol.com.


Tucker (GH-561)

Tucker came into the rescue with his brother, Rocky. He is a beautiful, 75 pound, active 2 year old. Tucker is housebroken and tolerates being in a crate, but will fuss & scratch for awhile before settling down. Tucker has had no training, pulls hard on a leash. He will also countersurf and get into the trash if given the chance. He rides well in the car. He does not like thunderstorms. Tucker loves people but he jumps up & gets very excited when meeting someone. He loves children, and will jump on them too. He gets along with his 2 foster brothers. He has not been tested with cats in his foster home. With a little time, training and patience Tucker will be a wonderful addition to an adoptive home. Tucker would do best in a home with another dog (his brother, Rocky, would love it if HE was that other dog!!) If you are interested in Tucker, have had a home visit and been approved to adopt. Contact foster mom at FinkFL@ptd.net.
