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.

Click on the photos below to get a full size image of the dog as well as additional information and/or photos if available.




Puppy Fred
Unknown Mix
Adorable puppy looking for a new home.

This is Fred and he also has two brothers, Felix and Frankie equally cute.

We have no idea of breed; could be golden/lab.  

If interested please e-mail adoption@loveagolden.com for more information.



Major
Lab Mix
Major is a wonderful, 5 year old large lab mix (maybe mixed with Mastiff) He is a great gentle dog who is very easy going and gets along famously with other dogs.  Major loves to cuddle and knows several commands.  He loves to play fetch, lay in the sun and go for walks.  He is a quiet fellow who barks seldomly.  He has a good appetite and does not beg for food.  Before coming to rescue he was left behind when his owner was evicted.

Toby
Golden Doodle

Toby is a beautiful red golden doodle. He just celebrated his 2nd birthday.  He is tall and lean, weighing about 55 lbs. Toby is a sweet, affectionate dog. He loves attention, belly rubs, and pets. He is good with children. He also gets along well with other dogs. Toby has a lot of energy and loves to play! Sometimes he needs help to disengage from play because he is having so much fun he does not want to stop.  Toby would love an active family who will take him on walks and adventures probably with another easy going dog. He is a great walking companion! When he is not playing or asking for pets, he is napping very near his humans. He knows a few commands and has been trained to stay off the furniture. He learns quickly as he is eager to please. Toby was surrendered by his previous owners through no fault of his own. He will need patience and time to adjust before he is able to fully relax in his new home.  He is a big teddy bear and will make his new family so happy!

LOVE A GOLDEN RESCUE
EMERGENCY MEDICAL DOGS
Due to the COVID-19 virus ALL of Love a Golden's 2020 in-person 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.
