We have to limit our adoptions to the East Coast of Florida.
Our process requires home visits and follow up visits

*******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 Realize that 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.

Cristy-adoption in progress
|
|
Go figure....I’m your loyal loving dog for close to 12 years. You adopted me from MDAS as a puppy. And now you dump me back here. Well thank goodness The Rescue says NO WAY! That’s not how this story ends. I am sweet and good with other dogs. I could definitely use some joint supplements....but then, who couldn’t? There’s a video of me trotting along beautifully on a leash. I love my walks. I can get out of here as soon as I have a place to go. Can I come live with you? The Rescue wants me to tell you that rescuing a loving Senior like me is the hardest AND THE BEST. And so very worth it.
Please reach out to Kristine at: Kminerva313@hotmail.com. You need to live in SE Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami. Please hurry. I really don’t want to be here. I really deserve better than this😢😢

Shuttle-adoption in progress
|
|
Yes, Shuttle is my name. I am one handsome and big boy. I’m 3 years old. I am neutered and current on my vaccines. I know lots of commands. I’m super great with kids. I’ve lived with other dogs...but I think I’d be happiest getting all your attention, so I must be an only dog. I’ve got lots of energy, so a fenced yard would be really important to me. On the other hand. I have great house manners. I am not at all destructive. Of course I’m totally housebroken. As you can see, I love men. The picture was the first time I met my foster Dad. I hugged him and showered him with kisses. I am being fostered in Sebastian. So if there’s a family near there who thinks I’d be the perfect dog for them, that would be great.
So if you’re interested in meeting me. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Here’s the drill. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit and when. If you haven’t TELL HER EVERYTHING about you. Your address, tell her about your home, yard, family and daily schedule. Emails without all that info will be disregarded. If it seems you could be a great fit for me. You will hear from Lisa. Also, you MUST live on the East coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami. But again, further North would be great...but not mandatory.

Buster-adoption in progress

So, here I am, kind of a Golden, smaller and somehow my ears got “put on upside down”.
I’m a nice quiet, around two year old guy. I probably weigh, maybe, 40 lbs. I’m at the Broward Shelter. As you can see, I’m looking pretty “rough”..But awfully cute. A bath will feel ever so good. No one knows how long I’ve been on the streets. There were lots of dogs around me...
But I wasn’t interested....so hopefully, I’m good with other dogs. I can get out of this place on Saturday. But the Rescue needs a place for me to go....maybe without other dogs until they have a better idea of my personality. It can be a foster....that would be fine. If you would like to help me get out of here and feel safe and loved....please contact Kristine at: Kminerva313@hotmail.com. Here’s the drill. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If so,when. If not tell her EVERYTHING about you, your home, family, yard, address, really, EVERYTHING so she can see if we’re a match. And remember you need to live on the East Coast of Florida, from Cocoa Beach to Miami.

Nalah-adoption in progress
|
|
My name is Nalah. I am a six year old Flatcoat Retriever. I am spayed and current on my vaccines. My story is sad...and not pretty. I have been severely abused by a young man. He actually went to jail. But he’s coming back now...so my “family” is moving me....so it never happens again. But, as a result, (as you can well imagine) I am afraid and therefore not friendly with men. So, I’m looking for a woman to help me. I tolerate other dogs...but certainly don’t need them. I tolerate cats as well. Because of my fears...I would be better off not being around children. I just want a calm, loving quiet place to heal. I’m loving and affectionate....but “damaged”. Can you help?
If so, please contact Denise at: deniselibby@ymail.com. Tell her if you’ve had a home visit and if so, when. If not TELL HER EVERYTHING about you, your address, information about your home and yard, family and most important your daily schedule. Also, remember you must live in SE Florida....Cocoa Beach to Miami. If your email doesn’t contain all that information. It will be disregarded. If Denis thinks you could be a match for Nalah, she will be in touch.
