Gabe is a 5-6 year old boy who was dumped at Animal Control by his owner. He is in a foster home doing great and has been neutered and vaccinated. As all too many of Grateful Goldens are, he is heartworm positive and will start treatment in a few weeks once he recovers from the neuter. He is in a home with small children and other dogs and is a gentle boy.

Update: Gabe had some complications from his neuter and had to go back to surgery. He is doing much better now and after a few more weeks will start his heartworm treatment. He continues to do awesome in his foster home and is a Velcro dog to his foster Mom. He is smiling now that he is feeling so much better.

Update: Gabe has finished his heartworm treatment and has his bags packed.

Leah is a beautiful, gentle girl who has had a hard life. She has been neglected and not given the love and care she so deserves. All of that is behind her now and even though she looks sad in this picture she is a happy girl with her tail wagging. She came to us flea infested, with mange and with ears that are almost closed shut from infection that was never treated. She has had treatment for the fleas and mange and already feels soooo much better. Her ears will most likely need surgery to try and open up the ear canals. We will know more after the antibiotics and steroid treatment is done.

Update: Leah is doing much better as far as her skin and her fur is growing back with the medication and baths she is getting. Her ears are still bad and she will be seeing a specialist to see if surgery will be needed. Surprisingly she can hear and comes running when you call her name. She loves to play and is a very happy girl.

Holly is a 4 year old girl who came into the shelter because she was heartworm positive and the owner did not want to spend the money to treat her. Fortunately, one of our volunteers pulled her and she will begin treatment soon. She is doing well in her foster home and getting along with her foster brothers. She can be a bit protective of food and toys but this is not surprising as she was adopted from the shelter 2 years ago. Since then she has had several homes and ultimately found herself back at the shelter. Her foster home is working on this protective behavior and she is making progress.

Jack is a 7 year old boy who was surrendered by his owner due to financial difficulties. He is a sweet boy in good health and ready for a home to call his own.

Update: Jack is patiently waiting for a family who will love him. He is happy at his foster Dads but really wants his very own people.

Tyler Pup: is a 9-11 week old baby who was pulled from Animal Control with her sibling. They had pneumonia and mange and sadly her sister did not have the strength to survive. Fortunately, little Tyler, after a few days in the hospital has turned the corner and is doing very well. She is a sweet and very smart girl and hasn't had an accident in the house!! Her skin is improving and soon she will have a beautiful coat.

Update: Tyler is growing into a beautiful girl at 6-7 months old. She has fully recovered from all of her medical issues and has been spay. She is ready for a home to call her own.

Update: Tyler is a sweetheart. Because of her incredibly tough start in life she has come down with Demodex again. She is undergoing treatment and we are confident she will recover,. meanwhile she is looking for her family to love. We are looking for a family who will consider fostering Tyler with the intent to adopt her once her treatment is completed. All expenses related to the treatment will be covered by GGRLC.

Annie: is a another beautiful oldie goldie. The vet thinks she is around 8. She was dumped at the shelter by her family after all these years. She is in a loving foster home and soaking all the love and attention up. She is heartworm positive and we will be speaking with the vet to determine the best course of treatment.

Update: Annie is doing fabulous in her foster home and loves her canine siblings. She would love to find a family who realizes how wonderful older gold is!!

Update; Kendall's foster Mom says this is one of the sweetest boys ever. he just wants to be with his person and will make a wonderful companion. This guy is ready for a family to call his own. Being a senior his adoption fee is adjusted.

Kojack is a 3 month old pup who was rescued out of animal control's truck when he and his Mom were picked up on the side of a busy street. A caring lady stopped when she saw this little guy and his Mom and called AC. One of our volunteers happened by and stopped to help. While we know that Kojack isn't a Golden his future was pretty dim as was his Mom's who is a Golden Mix so we decided to take them in. He is doing great with his socialization and as you can see will tackle a big stick. This is a cute little guy and he is ready for a family to own.

Charity is a young 2 year old gal who was rescued from the shelter. She is in a wonderful foster home and settling right in.

Update: I wanted to let you know what this little squirt did today. She actually got out of our privacy fence and we have no clue how. I let her out and was out there and then I went inside for a minute to put the pasta in the pot to cook and then when I went back out there she as no where to be found. Jim and I went out hunting her and found her at a neighbors house visiting and having a great time. She will no longer be outside for one second without me out there. Other than that she is wonderful. She is very easy to take care of and she loves playing. there is not a single aggressive side to her from what I can tell. She does love to jump in your lap and love all over you. We do find that she has an odd behavior of crawling all over the house using her front paws to pull herself all over the house on the carpet. it is the funniest thing to watch. I wish I could video it and send it to you.

Update: Charity is a 1 year old snuggle bug. She is very playful with children and other dogs and she LOVES to lay in your lap or on you in the bed. She loves children and does not mind cats either. She is a wonderful dog that is completely house trained and does not have any bad habits other than jumping the fence. She is an absolute sweetheart!!

Wilber is a sweet older guy (8 -10) was found as a stray. He was so matted and dirty that the folks who found him had to shave him down. He seems to get along with everyone including all the animals on the farm where he stayed for several days while his family was searched for. He is heartworm positive and will start treatment soon. This is one sweetheart whose tail never stops wagging.

Chester is a 1-2 year old boy who was surrendered by his owner because she

had long days in class and he would get into mischief. He will be neutered soon and then treated for heartworm. He is doing great in his foster home and is one sweet boy.

Update: Chester's foster noticed he was limping on his front leg so we had the Vet check him out. The X-ray showed this boy has an injury at some point that was pinned. Unfortunately it was never removed and is now causing him pain. He will be seeing the orthopod for an evaluation and probable surgery.

Copper is a 2-3 year old handsome and sweet boy. He was rescued from an upstate shelter where he came in as a stray. He is heartworm positive and will be starting his treatment soon. This boy is a lover and gets along with humans of all ages as well as other canines. A better picture will be posted soon.

Gracie is a 2-3 year old girl who was rescued from a busy highway. When she came in she was covered in ticks and fleas and was underweight. She is a wonderful girl who is doing fabulous in her foster home. Her foster parents say she is a turn key girl.

Update: My all time favorite thing to do is PLAY!! I would love a family that had a four-legged brother or sister for me to play with. I love to go for long walks and visit people on the way. I love to squirrel watch I'll sit and watch them for long time. If I can, I'll chase them--it's so much fun. Kids are great, I love hanging out with them too! I love affection and will return it twice over. I love cuddling and belly rubs!! Duh, who wouldn't!!!

Gracie's foster family say she is a turn-key girl!

Harley was moments away from not leaving the shelter when we were notified. Being several hours away from us another rescue helped us save him. He came in with horrible mats around his back end so his coat is a little ragged now. He is learning how to trust people in his foster home. he is heartworm positive and will begin treatment soon.

Lucky is a 1.5 - 2 year old boy who was surrendered when his owner realized he did not have the time to spend with this sweet boy and it wasn't fair to him. He is fully vetted and doing great in his foster home.

Update: Lucky is ready for his family. He would be a great addition to an active family who will include him in their activities. He loves to play. He will do great with a canine playmate but is too curious about cats. He also loves kids.

Abby is a 3 year old girl who was turned into the rescue by her owner. She is a sweet, sweet girl who has settled in at her foster families with no problems. She is a bit timid around men and her foster Dad is spending lots of time with her. She has been spay and is Heartworm negative.

Bower is somewhere around 5 years old. He was picked up as a stray and brought to the shelter. Even though they were able to track his owner, they never came for him. He is a sweet guy who loves to give kisses. He will be neutered soon and once he recovers we will begin his heartworm treatment.

Update: Bower is doing awesome in his foster home and will begin his HW treatment this week. Once our Vet evaluated him he estimated his age between 9-10. His foster Mom is surprised as no one has told this boy who loves to play ball and enjoys life to the fullest.

Bear was rescued from an upstate animal control facility when a wonderful lady found him there. Fortunately she contacted us and we were happy to bring him into the rescue. His coat and skin are in rough shape right now but once he is treated he is going to be even more handsome then he is now. Most importantly he is one of the sweetest boys and just wants to give and get love..

Hope is a 1-2 year old beauty whose owner owner brought her to Animal Control. When they were asked to bring her back the next day as it was closing time they left. Well when the AC Officer went out to his truck to go home who did he find in the back of his truck....yup this sweetie. Fortunately they called us and we were able to bring her into rescue. Unfortunately she broke with Parvo but due to her wonderful foster Mom and great Vet care she is well on the road to recovery.

Tulip is a beautiful girl who was brought to the shelter with Daisy. They were found next to the road and it appears they had been hit. Both girls were moving very slowly and were sore. Fortunately the X-rays showed no broken bones.

They are in a foster home and recovering fine. Both are heartworm negative and are up to date on shots.

They do see to be somewhat dependant on each other and Daisy is a bit shyer than Tulip.

We think they are between 1-2 years old and are on the smaller size.

We will post more soon.

King is a sweet 6 year old boy who was rescued from a very poor living situation. He was chained to a tree and infested with hundreds of fleas when we received a call from the authorities asking if we could take him. Fortunately with the help of a great volunteer we were able to get him the next day.

Here is an update from his foster Dad:

Dr Hewitt's fit us in today and over all King is in pretty good health, but is HW pos and they agree he is around 6 yrs old. He has a growth or cyst on the back of his neck that has burst and will need to

be removed. They gave him an antibiotic for it and recommended that he put some weight on before the neuter, the cyst can be removed at the

same time. He has lost a lot of hair and has skin problems, but both are probably caused by the fleas so we will watch both and see if they

improve. He weighs 50 lbs. They think he should weigh about 75. He has been a champ through this whole day and never even flinched with all of the poking and prodding at the vet. I think he just loved being touched and petted.

Ember: is a very sweet, well-behaved, beautiful red girl. She turned 6 yrs old in Feb, loves to play, easy walking on the leash, and is good riding in the car. She gets along really good with Eli, and did live with cats in her previous home. Owners had to give her up due to busy schedule that did not allow them time to give her all she needed. Emma also lived with 2 young children, and is always excited to meet anyone she sees. Emma is very housebroken, is HW negative, needs to loose a little weight, has been treated for an ear infection, and will be spayed soon. She is very calm for her ear cleaning, brushing, nails(being trimmed in intervals due to length), etc. She loves to give love and be loved--thinks she should be a lap dog.

Bud: is around 2 years old and showed up in a families yard with Rose. When no owners could be found they were turned into the rescue. He is a beautiful boy who is very sweet. He and Rose are quite bonded and ideally it would be great to find them a family who has room for both in their hearts and home. He has been neutered and is heartworm negative.

Rose: is around 2 years old and showed up in a families yard with Bud. When no owners could be found they were turned into the rescue. She is a sweetheart and is quite bonded to Bud. Ideally we would love to find them a home together where they will be loved and a part of a family. Rose has been spayed and is heartworm negative.

Mama Lisa was rescued on her last hours in this world. She was a stray at an overcrowded shelter. Fortunately working with Foothills Golden Rescue we were able to get her out of the shelter and to safety 2 days before she gave birth to 5 little beauties: Livi, Lexie, Lola, Linus and Levi. They are 3 weeks old and doing well.
