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

*******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.

Puerto Rico dogs milestone!!
WOW, it’s been three years since we brought our first dog over from Puerto Rico. Her name is Sarah. Over 200 dogs later, they’re still coming! Between air transport, medical bills and training, we have spent close to $150,000.00. But with our sister Rescue Golden Retriever Rescue of PR, no matter what the cost, we will keep rescuing these special dogs, until there are none that need us.

Well, everyone at the Rescue thinks it’s my turn. My turn to find a forever home that suits me. One where I can be who I am. Picture a dog, a pretty one, who is about six years old, who is probably more like a cat than a dog. But that doesn’t mean I’m not affectionate! Just in a cat like way. I’d love to find my safe spot....for the rest of my life. The Rescue is pretty certain my life was pretty crappy before I got here. I arrived from PR almost six months ago. My name was Olympia. I got adopted immediately, with a young and very active puppy. They named me Latke. Eventually that family gave me up. I was too quiet and clearly not happy. Then I went to a foster home with cats and another dog. It was there the Rescue learned I was pretty sick. Which certainly explained who I was at my first Florida home. I’m better now. I’m fine with the cats (I understand them). But this foster Mom wants a dog who will play with her dog. That’s just not me. I’m not mean to her..just not one to “frolick”. So, once again, I’m looking for a home. I can be your buddy...watch TV ...hang out...go for walks (I don’t need long walks...but it’s fun being on a leash)...or I can just hang out in a fenced yard....and then, I’m happy to come in. There must be someone out there looking for me. Because I’m certainly looking for you...if you’re looking for a quiet, laid back “dog/cat.”
Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit, and when. If not tell her everything about you...your home, family, other pets and most important, your daily schedule. If it looks like you could be a fit, Lisa will get back to you. Lastly, remember, you must live in our adoption area...the East Coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami( or in my area)

Luna
My name is Luna. My owners ( I won’t call them Family) brought me to MDAS to euthanize me. The shelter said “no way” and asked the Rescue to help me. They said YES. More about me later when the rescue gets to know me. Looking forward to a forever home of my own! Please contact Lee Ann at: flarunkle@bellsouth.net.
Daisy-adoption in progress

Lots more news about Daisy. As you can see, she’s fine with cats....and for the most part, fine with other dogs. In her home she does resource guard. So, if you have another dog, just be aware of that. She’s with a dog now....and they sleep together. She is only two and probably spent some time on the streets. So some training would be great. Her foster has been working on the leash...and she’s doing great. She’s a gentle soul with people and loves attention. The best description..a beautiful, sweet, gentle, fun two year old....looking for a forever home.
I am 100% Great Pyrenees. I am a two year old, spayed female. I have a microchip and I’m up to date on my vaccines. After being fostered for a while, the Rescue has learned that I would be best as an only dog. I love and adore people....and generally I’m awesome on a leash. But some dogs irk me and I will bark at them. I’d love a fenced yard, because I love running. I’m a cuddler and as most Pyrs are, I’m also a couch potato. I’d be happiest without small children, as well. As you can see, I’m absolutely gorgeous. I’m waiting for the perfect home for me so I can be the perfect dog for you. Please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Please tell her if you’ve had. A home visit and when. Also tell her all about you, your home, exactly where you live and most important, your daily schedule. With all that information Lisa can determine if you’re a possible match....and if so, she will reach out to you. Lastly, you must live in our adoption area. The East Coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami.

Snow White-adoption in progress
I was one of the first dogs out of The Bahamas. I went to what was going to be my forever home...but one of the dogs already there got sick and honestly, she needed quiet and calm. I am absolutely a whirlwind of energy. I’m like a puppy...I want to run and play and be full of the joy I feel being safe. I’m around two years old. I weigh about 30 pounds. I am spayed and current on my vaccines. I’m not sure if I should be around little kids...just because I’m soooo active. I have worked with a trainer to be around other dogs. I’m as sweet as can be....but active, active, active. Want an adorable, loving whirling dervish...please contact Lisa at: rjlph@outlook.com. Tell her if you’ve had your home visit and when. If you haven’t, please tell her where you live and everything you can about you, your home, family, other pets and most important, your daily schedule. Remember, you must live in our adoption area...the east coast of Florida from Cocoa Beach to Miami.
Malibu-adoption in progress

UPDATE: Hi everybody...I’ve been to school. I’ve learned lots. Check out my video. I’m calmer now..but I think I’ll always be a little quirky. I’d be happiest as an only dog...and with someone who’ll love me enough to have some patience with my quirks. The Rescue believes that someone used to kick me...so feet kind of freak me out. But with some time and love...I know I can get past that. I can also be the sweetest, most, loving little girl. Honestly, I just need a break...an Angel who will love me enough to let me become a darling little girl.
Hey-my trainer took some really cute pictures of me....he spelled my name wrong...but how cute am I?
So, when you contact Denise at deniselibby@ymail.com . Be sure to tell her if you’ve had your home visit and when. If you haven’t, tell her EVERYTHING she will need to know to see if you’re a match. ..where exactly do you live. Tell her about your home, family, other pets and most important, your daily schedule. Lastly, remember you must live in our adoption area...the East Coast of Florida, from Cocoa Beach to Miami
