Hi, I’m Available!
| We
often get questions and comments regarding our fence policy. We require
a secure physical fence for the dogs we adopt. Many of our dogs are
Goldens that have been retired from breeding facilities. While these
dogs have been given basic care, they have not been treated as pets and
are not socialized. Their Instinct is to run and hide until they have
learned to trust and have bonded with their new family, and they have
not yet learned to relieve themselves while on leash. Others can be shy
due to their treatment before coming to rescue. Some of our dogs are
very active and love to run and play and chase balls, and they need a
safely fenced yard. We acknowledge that there are very good dog owners
that do not have fences, but we cannot pick and choose. We must have a
standard policy for the safety of the dogs. We do not like to
disappoint or upset people, but bottom line our dogs come first and we
will always err on the side of caution. That being said, there are
countless wonderful dogs that need homes, and there are many rescues
that do not have the same fence requirements. |
Love A
Golden is a rescue organization based in St. Louis, Missouri. We strive
to find the best available home for each individual Golden in our
program ~ our goal is finding the Golden’s “forever home.”
If you
are interested in adopting one of our Goldens, we ask that you read
more about our adoption procedures by clicking HERE and fill out an
adoption application.
We try to keep our listing up-to-date, but
some recently available dogs
may not be listed yet and some listed dogs may already be

Meg is 7 years old, a
beautiful girl. She is from a breeder and is looking for a home that is
familiar with dogs from this environment. She has some quirks, but has
come a long way in the last couple of months. She would do best in a
home with another Golden to show her how to be a dog. She rarely plays
but follows the other dogs in her foster home. She loves toys but
unfortunately chews them up she will bring a tennis ball from the yard
and is very proud we let her have for a short time. She has just
started to go on walks and this is going ok as long as nothing noisy
comes by. Click on Meg's

Harper
is enjoying her new life as a retired mommy. She is 6 in June 2021 She
is a happy girl and is enjoying learning new things. She is a little
shy meeting new people and going new places but with the help of her
4-legged foster brother she learned to enjoy car rides, chasing birds
and squirrels, playing with toys, going for walks, and running around
acting silly and crazy. (In a fun way) She happiest when she around
another dog and is more confident. She needs a home with another golden
or doodle to show her the ropes and a home that has a lot of patience. She
walks well on a leash, comes when called, does not get on the
furniture, and hasn’t chewed anything up. She is working on “sit” and
letting her foster mom know she’s got to go potty, currently she gets
restless when she needs to go outside.

IMMEDIATELY BELOW ARE
LOVE A GOLDEN RESCUE
EMERGENCY MEDICAL DOGS |
| Due to the COVID-19 virus ALL of
Love a Golden's 2020 fund-raisers,
which usually fully fund all our rescues in need of medical care, have
been cancelled. The dogs below have surgeries or other medical
needs that are very expensive. Since we cannot fund-raise in our
usual way, they DESPARATELY need FOSTER
BUDDIES to help with the expense. It will be quite some
time before they are ready for adoption. |

Gretchen
female
|
Gretchen is a very sweet girl, small at 50 lbs. She
was 15 months when she came to rescue from a breeder in July 2020 and
had recently had a litter of puppies. Gretchen was released from
the breeder when it was discovered she had bad hips. Her first
surgery following her rescue will be at the beginning of September; the
second surgery 10 to 12 weeks later.
Gretchen is not at all familiar with city noises, cars etc.. however
she has become comfortable in her foster home and yard but has far to
go in the big world. Each day she is excited to go on a
walk but once outside she is very wary. Her foster home counts her
success by how many houses she can walk by each day. At first it
was a matter of only feet, but as of this writing she did four
houses. This will be a very important part of her rehab so the
goal before surgery is to get her comfortable and be able to walk
around the cul de sac.
It will be a very long time
before she is ready for adoption. She will need to recover from
both the surgeries, become
comfortable with the world and trained to not be a flight risk.
