**************************************

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...

Mid- Florida area www.grrmf.org
Naples area and Sarasota County www.grininc.org
Southwest Florida (Lee and Collier counties) www.grrswf.org
Joshua's House simplesite.com/joshuashouseforgoldenrescue
Sarasota, Collier, Charlotte,and Lee counties


**********************************
Important!!
*******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.

Help Needed!!

YIKES! We need help! Mostly, 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.

Gabo

A curly coat! We’re so cool and we shed less! My name is Gabo.(you can change it if you’d like). I’m around four. I have not had the easiest life here in PR. I learned to pretty well take care of myself. But in true Golden Retriever fashion...it hasn’t affected my Golden nature. I’m playful and energetic. I love exercising...love running. I also love people of all ages. I’m fine around other dogs and MOST IMPORTANT, I’m arriving from PR on Saturday. I’m oh so ready to live a proper Golden life...in a house, with a Family. Could someone reading this be ready for me?
If so, please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Please be sure to say where you live and if you have had a home visit and something about your family and schedule.

Wendy

Life is funny. I struggle and give birth to four adorable puppies...they all come to the States and find fabulous forever homes (through GRSF) and I get stuck staying behind. But it had to be because I had a tick borne disease and it took a while for me to get better. I’m OK now and OH SO ready to find my forever home. I’m going to need lots of TLC...it’s been a rough life, so far. But I’m sweet and gentle and I’m fine with kids. I’m coming in on Saturday. Im hoping there will be a forever home for me. Just check out my pictures. I know someone will open their heart and their home to me.
Please contact Lee Ann at: flarunkle@bellsouth.net  Be sure to say where you live and if you have had a home visit, and something about your family/schedule.

Cooper-adoption in progress

​Woo, HOO! Look at me...a 31lb. Golden  Retriever/ Cocker Spaniel mix.
I am THE CUTEST, 31 lb little guy around. I’m a neutered, current on my vaccines, two and one half year old who needs a home with no kids and no dogs. I’m fine meeting dogs outside, but not  in the house. That’s because I think someone as special and adorable as me should have my “people’s “ undivided attention. 🏼. I’m a funny guy who does cool tricks. I love to swim...I’m a cuddler and a buddy. I guess it should say on my resume...”adults only”.
​Please contact Lisa at:rjlph@outlook.com. Remember to tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If not tell her ALL ABOUT you. And don’t forget, you have to live in our adoption area. The East Coast of Florida, from Melbourne to Miami. Please hurry, like everyone else...I’d love to be “home for Christmas”

Shadow

Shadow is out of the hospital and feeling better

Wow! I’m almost ready to go to my new home! It’s been quite a trip from suffering alone at MDAS to the hospital where my leg was relocated and I was treated for pneumonia to being here at my foster home. Life is good...and so am I. I am as precious on the inside as I am outside. I’m sweet and loving. I’m a TOTAL VELCRO dog. Wherever you go, I want to be. BUT my true passion...I LOVE BEING ON THE COUCH! I’m up there every time my foster Mom turns her back 😀👍🏼 I’m great with my fur foster sisters and I know I’ll adore kids of all ages. I’m sure cats will be OK as well. So, I’m about a year old. I weigh around 35 pounds. I’m as big as I’m going to be. When you contact Lisa she can tell you what’s next with my leg. You can reach her at: rjlph@outlook.com. You know the drill. You have to live on the East Coast of Florida...from around Melbourne to Miami. If you’ve had your home visit. Please tell her. If not tell her EVERYTHING about you so she’ll know if we’re a match.

Update- Dec 10--Shadow left “the building” today. Yup, he’s out of the hospital. He’s gone to our “nursing/rehab” foster Ruth and her Family. 🏼
He loved meeting her two dogs...cheered him right up. In a few days, we’ll have lots more info about him....and we can plan for his future.

Update on Shadow: Shadow is a very sick boy. He has pneumonia. The good news is, he’s in the “right place” getting 24/7 care. It’s a day by day thing right now. Another update tomorrow. Paws crossed for this sweet little guy.

This is a story of bad news and good news. Meet Shadow. This sweet, loving little Flat Coat mix has been in MDAS for two weeks....WITH A BROKEN LEG. We cannot imagine what he’s been feeling . So, that is the bad news. The good news, HE’S OUT. Denise and Lee Ann picked him up and drove him to Jupiter. He is getting around the clock care. Dr. Latimer (our orthopedic surgeon) saw him today. He was stunned and horrified that at least two weeks have gone by (maybe longer). He will need surgery. He was covered with ticks, as well. Our hearts are broken for this one year old boy. He will need to recover. We are absolutely asking for any donations any one wants to make. That can be done on Pay Pal on our website or our Face Book page. Or checks can be mailed to:GRSF
PO Box 17084
Plantation, Florida 33318
BTW, we have two other dogs for surgery. Max had bilateral FHO surgery on Tuesday. And Maverick will have a bone graft procedure....and the bills keep coming...and the money keeps going 👎😪. It’s all good, we are a rescue...but financial help would sure be welcome. So, if you need to donate money before the end of the year...or if you JUST WANT TO......we can use all the help we can get. Paws crossed for a speedy recovery for these three wonderful dogs.

Sunny

Meet sweet Sunny. She’s around eight years old. She was a loved Family member for years....AND THEN SHE WASNT. She was
shippedoff,where she lived outside for EIGHT MONTHS! When the Rescue got her, she was a mess! Fleas, no vaccines, depressed and lonely. Now she’s in a foster home and remembering what it’s like to be a loved and loving Golden. She’s all caught up, no more fleas! As you can see from her pictures she’s a gentle, laid back, lovely Golden ....she’s looking for her forever (really) home. She’s fine with people , dogs and most likely cats. Maybe someone will be HER Christmas present. Please contact Lee Ann at: flarunkle@bellsouth.net
Remember to tell her where you live, if you have had a home visit and a bit about your family. Remember also you must live in our adoption area of southeast Florida from Miami to Melbourne.

Yolo

Yup -my name is Yolo...in Spanish it’s “Jolo”. But you can call me whatever you want, especially if you’re going to call me yours! I’m an eight year old neutered male. I am current on my vaccines and HW negative. I was found at an abandoned construction site. I guess I was abandoned, as well. I am blind in one eye...but as you can see I love attention. I am fine with other dogs. But, not young children. I’m arriving on Saturday. So, step right up ....another wonderful, grateful, loving SAVED Golden to be rescued and loved. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. You know the drill....tell her if you’ve had a home visit. If not tell her EVERYTHING about you, your Family, pets, home and daily schedule.And remember, East Coast Floridians only

Vincent, now Mojo, now Maverick

Update on Maverick:  Below, Maverick sits patiently while he is measured for bone graft surgery.

​Well, I may look familiar to you...I was posted before. But a lot has happened so, the Rescue wants to let me “start over”.  First, my foster didn’t like the name Vincent, so she’s calling me Mojo. Kind of cool. I came from PR a few weeks ago. I went to a forever home with two very active boys. It was cool at first..but then I kind of got stressed out by them.  Everyone agrees, no small kids for me. So, the Rescue took me to a quiet, friendly foster. I was really scared for the first few days. But now, I’m coming out of my “shell”. I am a quiet, gentle, almost cat like kind of guy. I am as Velcro as can be. Wherever you are...I want to be. Bed, couch, it’s all good! I’m fine with other dogs that I meet on the street. But, being the one and only “object of your affection” would be cool. I’m about a year old. I weigh under 30 pounds.  I’m neutered and current on my vaccines.  I’m really ready for my forever home so I can finally relax and enjoy life. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com 
Remember, if you’ve had your home visit, let Lisa know. If not tell her where you live and all about you so she can tell if we’d be a good match.
