Patrick

Patrick is a people-loving, dog-loving, cat-loving little red boy.  He makes friends wherever he goes. He bounces with happiness when invited for car trips, walks, and snuggles. Patrick is certainly ready to bounce into his new home, and he will be a welcome new best friend for some lucky somebody.

Patrick is approximately 6 months old. He was picked up as a stray by animal control and his family never came back to claim him.  So the shelter called Mary and Lil to help.   Patrick has adapted well to his foster home and its resident dogs and other foster dogs.  He is completely house trained, loves his crate and loves to play ball (will bring it back every time). 

If u are interested in Patrick please contact Mary today!

 

         

 

Justice

Hi All Justice here.. I am the new boy on the block here at Midlands Golden Rescue and my foster mom says I am the sweetest boy in the whole world! I was turned into this place they call a shelter and those folks called Mary and Lil and asked them to save me... I am at this great place called a foster home and loving it.  My foster mom is home most of the day so I get lots of love and attention.  She reports I am an awesome boy. I am housebroken, crate trained and I love other dogs and even the cat!  At my old home it was reported that I have a fear of thunderstorms.  Marlys my foster, mom says that I pant a lot and pace when I hear thunder and I don't like being outside when its thundering but you don't either right?   
 

The best home for Justice would be a family that has someone home most of the time.  If you cant be there he will need to be crated for his own safety. 
 
Right now we are looking for a foster home that's puts Justice a little bit closer to Columbia SC than he currently is.  Just to make sure he has easier access to potential adopters and the rescues vet.  If you are interested in fostering Justice please fill out our foster application and get it in to Mary today!!!  Or even better if you are interested in adopting justice please let Mary know..!!

Sultan

Sultan is just a big sweet teddy bear.  He is about 1 1/2 years old and weighs 65 pounds.  Right now he is going through heartworm treatment but will be ready in the next few weeks for his forever home.

 
He wants to play so much with the other Goldens at his foster Mom's house, but right now we have to keep him quite during his treatment.  He walks well on a leash and is eager to please.  He is crate trained and loves his Kong filled with peanut butter.  He always has a sweet smile on his face and listens very well.  When you talk to him he tilts his head and it is so cute.  Someone is going to be very lucky to get him his foster Mom says as he really is a sweetheart.

Hunter

This is Hunter and let me just say that he is the most adorable little Golden fluff ball. He is about 1 year old and weighs about 54 pounds. I do not think he has been inside much but this smart little boy has never had an accident inside which makes his foster Mom so proud of him.

He loves to give kisses to all the resident Goldens at his foster home and loves to play with them too. He will do a little dance for you when it is time for his dinner and loves his treats. He is heartworm negative, we are happy to say, and up to date on all his shots. He was neutered recently so he is now ready for his new forever home.

We are teaching him to walk on leash and being such a smart boy we are sure he will pick it up in no time. He does sleep in a crate while his foster Mom is at work, and once in it, with a little push, does wonderfully. His foster Mom says that anyone that gets this gentle little boy will be so lucky as he truly is a joy. He is like a big, soft, live teddy bear.

Hello "Dolly"
Dolly is an 8-9 yr old Happy, Loving, well-behaved, calm girl.   She has a great disposition, plays nicely with everybody and lovesssss puppies and cats... She loves to sleep on the "dog" couch or on the dog beds in my bedroom. Like most Goldens she really likes to be right with her people including sleeping right by the bed, or if you sweet talk her <g> she will get up on the bed and she will stay in the same spot all night. Dolly is completely housetrained, rides ok in a car  and loves to just go outside and roll around in the grass and play with her foster siblings. She is very a very quiet girl except around feeding time... she will woooowooowooo at u until she gets fed...lol. don't worry if u forget its feeding time Dolly will remind u.., She loves to be petted but is content to just lay on the couch and watch everybody. 

She likes to play fetch with tennis ball.. she looooooves to romp in the yard, and normally will come when called unless she's rolling around in the grass and getting a good scratch...  Loves to chew on woobies and has been known to destuff one or two... but she is such a sweet girl how can u be mad?  Also loves nylabones and any and all treats..

Dolly would do great in home with kids, cats and other dogs.  She's not a bossy girl but the other dogs in the house know she's the boss and that's that <grin>...  U would never know that Dolly is 8-9 yrs old with the way she romps in the yard with the foster puppies and plays with the cats... Normally the procedure with fosters is to crate them when u leave the house but with Dolly I can trust her loose during the day with my dogs and she does great.. probably sleeps all day on her spot on the couch if truth be told...  that girl loves her dog beds <grin>

I haven't been able to really take a "good" picture of Dolly since she's been with me but her hair is growing back and she's just an overall beautiful girl.  and so sweet.  its her eyes that get me...  she doesn't wag her tail a whole lot but when she does she just makes u smile... 

You owe it to yourself to meet this wonderful dog. I guarantee you that she will bring joy and delight into your life like she has mine.     Lil A. Bridgeman

Bunker 

Bunker is about 2-3 yrs old and is a total sweetheart. He is a Golden/lab mix who will be around 90-95lbs once he loses a few more pounds..  He's so easy going and just loves everybody.   He is totally housebroken and crate trained.  He gets a long great with my 3 dogs and  2 cats.  He listens very well.  Knows sit & down .   If you want a dog that loves to ride in the car, go for walks, play ball or just lay on the couch with you Bunker is your man.

I do let Bunker sleep loose at night and if there isn't room on the bed that's ok he will go sleep on the couch with the cat..  He is a destroyer of woobies (stuffed animal toys) and loves to chew bones but hasn't touched any of my stuff and believe the opportunities are there.   Like I said he is such a big sweetheart.

Bunk is up to date on all shots, is neutered and HW negative.  All he wants now is a furever family of his own... can you help?   Contact Mary today!!

UPDATE

Bunker is a large and rather rambunctious boy. Because of this we would recommend that his forever home not have small children. The best "forever" home for him should be with an active family with older children...middle school or older children. Also they should be willing to take him to formal obedience classes offered by a recommended training club.  He is not hyperactive...just a normally active boy with intelligence and a strong will not stubborn by any means but a dog that will test authority. He is a fun dog to be around but needs to reminded every once in a while that "you are the boss and you know best!!"  <g>
