Introducing Jeb! He is a red boy about 9 years old. Jeb has found himself in need of a new forever home as his owner took his own life. Although we don't recommend shaving a Golden, his temporary care giver did this prior to contacting us. He is a big boy and is a very young boy for his age. He was well loved and well cared for. He has good manners and just wants to love someone and be their constant companion. He loves to go on walks and gets along well with other dogs and cats. Because of the situation that brought him to us, he does still have some anxiety but nothing that a loving home won't cure.

My name is Belle and I am about 3 years old. I am a sweet, loving girl with lovely "red" waves. I am also VERY VERY obese. But I am up to date on all shots! My foster family is having a full thyroid screening done just in case my obesity is due to thyroid disease. Prior to placing me in my new forever home, I will be placed on a diet and have any medical needs addressed. I need to have a home who is willing to be strictly committed to a proper diet and exercise until I lose the excess weight and get into shape. I can't do it alone! My forever home will need to be committed to this for my entire life. Right now I weigh about 105lbs. and should weigh no more than 60-65 lbs. I have so much love to give! Won't you be my new family?

A note from Midlands Golden Rescue: Since having our first Golden taken into rescue with diabetes this past year, we are now even more committed to proper weight and exercise. Kiki's (now adopted) diabetes was caused by her obesity and I don't want another Golden to suffer like Kiki has had to suffer with this very preventable disease.

ADOPTED!!!

Bitsy
the new kid on the block!

Female / puppy - 6-9 months

I have good manners and have a pretty good idea of how to behave in the house. I love to snuggle up on the couch and bed with Nana Mary and the other dogs and cats. I love to give everyone kisses. I just can't understand why that old Siamese cat, Cagney doesn't appreciate my kisses and affection...I try very hard to be gentle but he still hisses at me and even sometimes smacks me or bites me on the nose...that hurts! But I am a very forgiving little girl and quickly come back to give him another little kiss.

There are times when I can be a bit demanding. If I am being ignored for too long I do little things to get attention...like steal one of Nana's shoes, flip flops, of slippers...even when she tries to hide them from me. I DON'T chew them up (I have chewed some other things though <grin>). I take her shoe and run like hell...I LOVE to play keep away...she has had to retrieve a few sopping wet slippers in the past few ways as I beat her out of the dog door and dropped them in a puddle of water...you should see Nana trying to run with her bum foot! It is really funny to me... Now she has me tricked because I am just too easy to tempt. Nana plays dirty! She WON'T play "keep away" with me! She goes and gets a treat then just tempts me TOO much! I have to make a trade. Her shoe for the treat. I am such a sucker!! I fall for that EVERY time...sigh..

I am a joyful, loving little girl and bring lots of smiles to Nana's face.. even when I really frustrate her. Hey, what can say I am just a puppy!! If you are REALLY interested in making me your "FOREVER" dog I would love that and all you need to do is call Nana Mary. But you all need to remember that I am a VERY TYPICAL Golden Retriever puppy...which means that I am a perfect and typical Golden, I can be a brat and a little trouble maker. I love to give lots of affection and learn new things. All I want to do is love and please someone special. You will need to take me to obedience class...to me that would be a blast! Again, I am here for the right loving, and committed "FOREVER" home. hugs and sweet, gentle kisses to you all!!! Bitsy.
