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
and since we are all located on the East Coast,
adoption on the West Coast is just not a possibility.
Please check the West Coast Golden Retriever Rescues listed below...

*******When inquiring about a dog, please keep in mind that at least 40-50 other people are also. If your emails do not include where you live and if you have/have not had a home visit - we WILL NOT respond.
Responding and then receiving one word answers takes too much time...so we will not do that any more. Sorry, but we are all volunteers and work many, many hours to help our dogs. Humans making our job harder...is tough.

SOS—Help Needed!!
YIKES! We need help! We need foster homes and we need transport help. And mostly in Broward County, sometimes in Dade. A big need is getting dogs saved and "pulled" from MDAS. When we are told we can "have" them...we often have to go pretty quickly. We have a great foster home in Palm Beach Gardens...but they need "a ride" there. If you can help with these dogs or can help, in general, please contact Denise at: deniselibby@ymail.com
Thanks and paws crossed some people will be able to help.

Well, another awful before picture. This was Bubba on the streets. No one knows how long he was out there. We’re not even sure of his age...maybe two, probably less. He weighs 25 lbs. He’s been bathed and had to be shaved because he was such a mess. One wonders how a Golden Doodle can end up on the streets. He needs a home..a foster or an adopter. He is timid and knows almost nothing. He’s sweet and affectionate. Interested? Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If you haven’t...tell her EVERYTHING about you. Where you live, what your home is like (yard, fenced?). Tell her about your Family and other pets. Honestly, if all that isn’t in the email....you will not get a response. I will get dozens of inquiries...Lisa will need to know if you are a potential match. Lastly, you need to live in the Rescue adoption area. East coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami. WE CANNOT ADOPT OUTSIDE OF THAT AREA.

After rescue!
|
Wow, take a look at me. The first two pictures are of me, wandering in the streets. The rest, are me now, two weeks later, in my new foster home. What a change! My name is Kendall (because that’s where I was found👍🏼). I am around five months old. The Rescue cannot even guess how I ended up on the streets at my age. But, that’s not important.....because here I am safe and sound and eating like there’s no tomorrow! I am learning how to be house trained and I’m trying to learn how to trust. I’m still a real scaredy-cat .....but getting better. I am starting to play with toys. I’m loving being around other dogs. They give me confidence. So, here’s what the Rescue wants for me. Hopefully a home with friendly dogs....and someone who’s home a lot. If you think you can welcome a sweet, young pretty little Golden girl into your home. Please contact Lee Ann at: flarunkle@bellsouth.net. Remember to tell her if you’ve had a home visit. If not tell her where you live. In order to adopt from us you must live on the East coast of Florida, between Cocoa Beach and Miami. And please tell her ALL ABOUT YOU, YOUR HOME, FAMILY, OTHER PETS AND YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE.
Apollo

Update on Apollo- July 20- Apollo is still having trouble keeping food “down”. Lots of tests...no answers yet. But he is the happiest, sweetest little guy.
Apollo, this heartbreaking, one year old male IS NOW SAFE. His owner was “persuaded” to surrender him. It’s all good from here. ....but he’ll be needing a pretty fair amount of medical care. If anyone wants to help us with that we sure would welcome the help. Not sure when he’ll be available for adoption...but he will be. And we’ll be looking for a special home for him, so he’ll never suffer or struggle again! He will be posted when he’s ready.
If you would like to help Apollo, please go to our “How to Help “ page and donate through PayPal
This is what his foster mom says about him: Hi all, Here are some pics of precious Apollo, I had sent some but Lisa did not get them so I am resending them a different way. Apollo loves Dudleys TV bed and carries it all around the house. He's also fascinated by that other dog he sees in the mirror. He dropped a toy in front of the mirror and every time he went to get it he would jump back because that "other dog" was grabbing for it too - so funny to watch. He loves the toys and it bothers him to see any left in the toy box, he has to have them all out on the floor throughout the house. He carries them everywhere with him even out to potty. He is truly a velcro dog that is by my side every minute and likes to sit on my lap when I watch the news - that is for as long as his puppy energy will let him. I hope all works out well for him at the vet today with the xray, he seems to do better with the regurgitating if I add some broth to the canned food when he eats. Needless to say I love having this sweet boy here with me and want to help him get better so he can become a part of a very loving forever family.

Bear

Hi! My name is Bear. I’m a fabulous combo of Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever. I’m a happy, playful and yet laid back guy. I love the beach! I’m around seven years old. A super age. Young enough to have energy and old enough to know how to be a super family dog. I need a new home....soon! The Rescue will take me to the vet and get me all “checked out”. I’d love to find my new forever home. Want to meet me? Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Be sure to tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not..tell her where you live and all about you. Especially your daily schedule.
Here is what his foster mom says about him....
“He really is a great guy. So full of energy. When he plays it’s full on.
Perfect housemate- only plays with his stuff , never has claimed anything of mine. Never has made a potty mistake in the house. Very little grooming maintenance. Really adapts to every situation easily. It’s raining and we’re chilling out today ....it’s fine but we’ll be ready for make up time tomorrow. Awesome car traveler.
He wants to be with me wherever I am. Very comforting fur pal. Very protective until he’s told they’re a friend and it’s ok.
He does sound furious but he just has a loud deep voice and growling is part of his talk.”

Oso- adoption in progress
|
|
Well, my name is PERFECT. It’s Oso and that means Bear in Spanish. But I am “fluent” in English. I know lots of commands. Honestly, I should be called Teddy Bear...because, that’s what I am. A big, lovable, friendly happy guy...who just got very lucky. Yup, lucky because my Family brought me to MDAS to be put to sleep.....and NO ONE would let that happen. So lucky, because now I will get all the care I need...and find a new home, where I know I’ll be loved, appreciated and safe. I’m neutered, chipped, and current on my vaccines. Thursday I’m getting a lump removed....benign...and my teeth cleaned. I’ll be dazzling in a few days! I am great with dogs and cats...kids and grown ups of all ages. I am seven years old, but have the good energy of a younger dog....but no puppy crazies! I can’t wait to start over again. It would be cool if I had a yard to romp in. Want to meet me? Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Don’t message her....she won’t get it. Tell her if you’ve had a home visit. If not tell her EVERYTHING about you, your Family, your home, yard, other pets and most important your daily schedule. Lastly, you must live in the Rescue’s adoption area. The east coast of Florida.....from around Cocoa Beach to Miami.
