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 adopted.

Sadie
female


Meet Sadie, a 3 year old, 84.5-pound sweetheart searching for her forever home! She’s happiest on the move, soaking in the sights and smells of the world. Playful yet self-aware, she loves her toys (but prefers to keep them to herself!) and brings enthusiasm to every game with her foster sister.

A true treat connoisseur, she adores peanut butter, Charlee bears, and milk bones—just don’t try to sneak her a cucumber!

When it’s time to eat, she loves to settle in and savor each bite.
Sadie warms up quickly to new faces, forming strong bonds with those who give her time. She enjoys company but values her quiet moments too. Affectionate, loyal, and ready for belly rubs, she’s looking for a family that cherishes her gentle, loving nature.

Ruger
male


This handsome boy is "Ruger", he's 2 years old and just completed 2 weeks of Training at Kennelwood.  He comes when called, walks well on a leash, sits, knows down and off and rides well in the car.  He's currently working on "off" as gets excited when people visit and he's making good progress.   

He likes other dogs and is doing well in his foster home with two other dogs. He's housebroken and will get in a crate for a snack, he has a lot of energy and enjoys running in the yard, tennis balls, plush toys, when he is done playing, he likes to snuggle.    He has been known to door dash.

Bheem
male
Bheem is an 11-month-old golden retriever. On the smaller side for a golden, he weighs just under 50 pounds.  He is curious, affectionate, and full of joyful energy!

He has the classic golden temperament: sweet-natured, people-loving, and eager to please. Bheem loves kids, gets along great with other dogs, and makes fast friends with everyone he meets. He’s completely house trained and has had some basic obedience training, though he still has his silly puppy moments like stealing a sock or bouncing with excitement.  With some consistency and structure he will continue to mature into a well-mannered adult dog.

Daisy Rae
female
Daisy Rae came from a breeder because she can climb chain link fences, even 6 ft. tall.  She is currently in a foster home with a 6 ft wooden fence that she got over once when she was not watched.   Now she never goes outside alone and her foster home are always on the ready. She is 3 years old and beautiful girl. 
Initially she was a real challenge and is now doing better, but does not like being confined.  She also hates thunderstorms and with any loud noises she goes into flight mode.  She will need a doggy companion. Currently her BFF is a dog living in her foster home. 
She has so much potential and has come a long way since that first day; but she still has far to go. She needs time and patience.  Also she can never be trusted not to try to escape.
