We are very sorry, but we have to limit our adoptions to the East Coast of Florida.
Our process requires home visits and follow up visits

Important!
*******I guess it’s time, once again, to explain the lengthy, loving, time consuming process we go through to find the best possible match for each of our dogs. Cold hard fact....IF WE HAVE THE OPTION TO PLACE A DOG IN A HOME WHERE THEY ARE NOT LEFT ALONE MUCH OF THE DAY. THAT IS AN OPTION WE WILL CHOOSE. Believe me, we know many, many people work full time and are loving dog people. But Goldens are social beings. They love people. We love placing them where they have lots of company...a lot of the day. Here’s the good news for the dogs. We have many more people waiting for dogs.....than we have dogs. So, we can truly choose among many, many potential adopters. THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE DOG. For each dog, we get dozens and dozens and dozens of replies....As well as people who have already had their home visits and are approved. There is ONE CONTACT person for each dog posted. That person is a volunteer, with a life outside of Rescue. That person responds to each appropriate inquiry. Then a home visit is set up. In the meantime others are inquiring and home visits are being arranged and done. Among those people inquiring....we are looking for the best match POSSIBLE for the dog. It is not our volunteer job to satisfy each of the people who inquire. It is our job to determine who WE BELIEVE is best for each dog. Some of us having been doing this for 20 years, 10 years, etc. Honestly, we are really, really good at what we do. We understand that each person thinks they are the perfect adopter for the dog they want. Here’s an example. A gentleman, who works full time, wants a young strong high energy dog. You work all day we said. No problem, my elderly parents are there. Does that make any sense? Not to us. Please as volunteers, we work incredibly hard at this. Please trust us.....we do know what we are doing. We may not do it at the speed you’d like. And you may not agree if you’re not chosen. But BELIEVE THIS .....IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT THE DOGS....ALWAYS. And lastly, if you are genuinely a dog loving person who cares about the dogs...please be overjoyed that each dog gets the home we believe he or she will best thrive in.
For the love and care of the dogs.

SHAGGY - Doodle fans, here I am!
I am a 3 year old male doodle. I am very good looking, don’t you think? I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, microchipped, weigh approximately 52 pounds and ready to go. My ideal home would be a place where I am the star - no kids and no other dogs, please. If I sounds perfect for you, please contact Lee Ann at flarunkle@bellsouth.net. Please tell her if you have had your home visit. If not, please tell her everything: where you live, what you home is like, all about your family and your daily schedule.
Remember we can only adopt in our area - Cocoa Beach to Miami, on the east coast.

Golden - no name
This poor guy is a stray at MDAS. Not the best picture. It appears he has some kind of chemical burn on his back. If no one comes for him. We can get him on Saturday. When his stray hold is up. He will need a foster home to go to. We will, of course take care of his medical needs. We just want to be sure we have a place for him to go on Saturday. If this little guy touches your heart, like he’s touched ours. Please contact Denise at: deniselibby@ymail.com.

Wow, am I lucky. It looks like I’m heading to America. It’s not safe for dogs like me....I live in Kuwait.A very special lady is rescuing several of us. GRSF is excited to help. If all goes well, I’ll be arriving in a week or so. As you can see, I’m an absolute doll! I’m about a year old. I am spayed and current on my vaccines. I love kids and dogs. Haven’t met any cats. It’s going to be a long trip. But I know it will be worth it. Please contact Denise at: deniselibby@ymail.com (yes y mail). Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not tell her EVERYTHING you can think about you. Your home, Family, pets, house, yard and most important, your daily schedule. Based on that, if you’re a good fit...Denise will reply. She’s gonna be busy😏😏
Puppies- puppies are all spoken for
Wow, almost 200 emails asking to adopt the puppies. Talk about good news, bad news. The Rescue has to determine where to best send the puppies. We have, they are all spoken for. We will continue to get home visits done. Once done, those people who didn’t get a puppy this time will be on our puppy waitlist. Which, by the way we always go to first, when we know puppies are coming. Fingers crossed more puppies find their way to us.
OMG we are getting puppies Friday from Puerto Rico! Please contact Denise at deniselibby@ymail.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not tell her EVERYTHING! Where you live...what your home is like...all about your Family, pets and MOST IMPORTANT, your daily schedule. You MUST be a stay at home parent.

I made it out! I survived hurricane Dorian on Grand Bahama Island. One picture is me arriving in Ft.Lauderdale. The other is me feeling safe in my foster home here in Florida. It’s amazing! I am happy, housebroken and very energetic. I am around two years old. I am spayed. I’m a great size...35 pounds. A yard with a fence would be great. I love kids and dogs. The Rescue is guessing I’m OK with cats...because at the shelter, we all hung out. I am Heart Worm positive (darn it). But the Rescue will handle the treatment. Once I’m treated, it will never be a problem AGAIN👍🏼. So, if you want to be a part of a “real” Rescue. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not tell her EVERYTHING! Where you live...what your home is like...all about your Family, pets and MOST IMPORTANT, your daily schedule. Lastly, remember we can only adopt in our area...Cocoa Beach to Miami, on the East coast. Hope to see you soon!

Am I not the most adorable little girl EVER?! But, I have to tell the truth, as cute as I am....that’s kind of how timid I am. I’m sweet and really, really nice....but I’m going to need some time to “come out of my shell.”I arrived from Puerto Rico a few days ago. Now that the Rescue knows a bit more about me...I’m ready for my forever home. I’d love to be in a home with another dog...that kind of gives me confidence. A quiet home, preferably without kids, would probably help, as well. I weigh 36 pounds. I’m around 4 years old. I am spayed and current on my vaccines. I promise...I’ll be worth taking time with....can’t you tell just by my sweet face. Please contact Lee Ann at:flarunkle@bellsouth.net

Little Bear- adoption in progress

Well howdy, y’all. Yep, I came all the way from Texas. Not sure why, but I went to The Broward Humane Society. That was back in June. The Rescue got me out. But honestly, I was a mess. Not physically, but mentally, a basket case. I was terrified of every one and everything. The Rescue shudders to think what my life was like. I went to a foster with a huge fenced yard and just one man. He was so patient with me, that I began to trust him. Then I loved him and he started working with me. He taught me lots of things. I got so much better that now I am being fostered in a home by a super nice couple who have a dog named Maggie, who looks just like me. I’m getting friendlier every day. I really, really love being with other dogs. They give me confidence. So now I’m finally ready to find my forever home. I’m still really shy when I first meet people. So, if you come to meet me, you’ll need to be a little patient. Now the details. I am around two years old, neutered, microchipped, HW negative and current on my vaccines. I weigh about 40 lbs. The Rescue doesn’t think young kids would be a good idea.....too scary for me. So, if you’re looking for a true Rescue, a sweet and loving little Guy, who’s life must have been pretty terrible....I’m your guy. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Please tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not, tell her where you live and all about your home, family, pets and most important, your daily schedule. And remember, you must live in our adoption area...the East coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami.
Guido-adoption in progress

Fasten your seat belts, because I’m coming in for a landing. Bye, bye Puerto Rico hello Florida! My name is Guido, (please feel free to change it when you adopt me.) I am between two and three years old. I am neutered and Heartworm negative. I’m an energetic, happy guy. I could use some training...you know, harness my boundless energy. A home with a fenced yard and lots of opportunity to get exercise would be awesome. I’m fine with other dogs. Definitely NOT fine with cats. I love kids, but I may be a bit much for small kids. I’m arriving 9/7. Want more info? Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not, TELL HER EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF ABOUT YOUR HOME, FAMILY, PETS, and your DAILY SCHEDULE. And, please remember you need to live in our adoption area. Cocoa Beach to Miami, on the East Coast of Florida. I can’t wait to get here!
Maui-adoption in progress

heck out my pictures. I am one handsome, big guy. Maybe a little too big...I think I could lose a few pounds. But that will be no problem when I get to my new home and eat good food and get lots of exercise. I’m really, really friendly. I’m great with kids and dogs. I’m around three years old. I’m arriving from Puerto Rico on 9/7. Just look at the “smile” on my face. Who could possibly resist me? Please contact Denise at: deniselibby@ymail.com (yes Y). Tell her if you’ve had a home visit. If not TELL HER EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. WHERE YOU LIVE, WHAT YOUR HOME IS LIKE (fenced yard?) TELL HER ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, PETS AND MOST IMPORTANT, YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE. Remember, you must live in our adoption area. Cocoa Beach to Miami, on the East coast of Florida.
