For all potential adopters:
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.

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 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.

Dog thieves!
Please be aware that Golden Retrievers are scarce and expensive. People are stealing dogs to sell them. This is apparently rampant in Atlanta.But I’m sure some Floridian will get the idea soon. Please keep your dogs SAFE.
Now...here are our available dogs.....
More dogs will be available soon....

Melo-adoption in progress

UPDATE ON MELO
Well, Mr.Melo is 100% healthy. His skin is cleared up. He had major dental work and he’s “ready to go”....EXCEPT...he’s gotten so fond of his fosters that when someone comes to meet him...he is not friendly. He’s always been guarded at first and once he meets you..he’s an absolute lover. But, it would take a few minutes ..which could seem like an eternity. So, we need to move him so he is willing to love and be loved by someone else. He’s a wonderful size 35 pounds and 8 years old. He’ll need a special Angel who will give him time to decide he loves you. At his foster home, when they had houseguests, he barked and fussed at first. And then ended up sleeping with the guests🏼. So, if you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion please give a Melo a “shot”.
Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit. If so, tell her when. If you haven’t. Please tell her EVERYTHING about you, your Family, your home and your daily schedule. Tell her where you live...your address and phone number. Remember you have to live within our adoption area. That’s the East Coast of Florida. From Cocoa Beach to Miami. Without all that info (and more ) if you want to. Your email will be disregarded. But if it seems like we’re a “match”, you will hear from Lisa.
My name is spelled “funny”. It’s pronounced Mellow. If several of my pictures look like I’m sad. It’s because I am. My Mom, who I’ve lived with since I’m a Pup has to give me up. I know she has no choice. So, I’m hoping the Rescue will find me a new home. So is my Mom. I am 8 years old. I weigh 35 pounds. I am current on my vaccines and neutered. I have perfect indoor “manners”. I think I’d be happiest as an only dog. As you can see fro picture I’m used to living with a toddler...but truth be told...I really love “grown ups”. I’m also a really “cool” watch dog...until I know you. Then, you can pet me and love on me all you want. The more...the better. I’d love to be adopted...but if not, then I’d be OK to be fostered, because my Mom has to move.
