1.-2. SERPICO & LUCKY GIRL

SERPICO (aka Dusty) is an affectionate and gentle 8 year-old neutered male with a rich, rusty color. He is a people's dog and loves any attention afforded to him. Serpico gets along well with other dogs, people, children and cats. He is HW negative, has good hips, clean ears and is housebroken. He does have a minor skin allergy - yet with regular bathing, a healthy diet and daily brushing, this condition is improving greatly. Serpico is a big boy weighing in at 92 lbs. Yet, his hefty frame does not slow him down - with regular exercise and healthy dog food, it should not take him long to get back into shape! Serpico loves walks, trips to the dog park and car rides... He responds to the name Dusty and walks well on a leash, especially with the assistance of a gentle leader. Serpico's only vice is squirrels - he loves these furry little creatures and will chase them if allowed. Due to some financial hardships, Serpico and his life-long partner, Lucky Girl, were surrendered by their owners. This dynamic duo reminds me of the dogs in Homeward Bound. Like the movie, Serpico and Lucky Girl are constant companions who are just trying to find their way to their forever home. They are a perfect fit for a family who does not have dogs and will engage them in regular walks or has a fenced in yard where they can play on their own. They are very adaptable and as long as they receive lots of exercise, can be happy anywhere! Please consider helping Serpico and Lucky Girl in their journey to finding their forever home!

LUCKY GIRL is a 5-year-old golden/husky mix. Despite her small size, she makes sure her presence is known! Lucky Girl is a sweet, loving female who loves to be loved. She loves to cuddle and when allowed, will join you on the couch to watch TV. Weighing only 35 pounds, she has a healthy coat, strong hips, is HW negative and is completely housebroken. She has a minor ear infection that is being treated with medicine. Lucky Girl loves adventure and takes the front passenger seat on all car rides (if permitted)! She loves walks and gets extremely excited at the first sign of a leash. She does pull, but this can easily be corrected with the proper harness, etc. Like her life-long partner Serpico, she loves squirrels and will try her best to chase them. Lucky Girl will make a great pet for any household. She loves people, kids, other dogs and gets along well with cats. She is very vocal and will bark at other dogs if she feels like she is being threatened. However, this is a rare occurance and will improve as she feels more secure in her environment. Please consider adding this dynamic duo of Serpico and Lucky Girl to your home. You will not be disappointed!

3. LOUISE

LOUISE is a 3 year old, 55 lb purebred Golden Girl.  Louise needs a home without cats or small animals as she has a very strong prey drive.  She would also not do well with another female her age or younger.  Louise gets along great with male dogs and seniors of either gender but she can be a bossy little mama sometimes and likes to make sure that all her foster brother and sister dogs have clean hears before they go to bed every night.  Not every dog likes that kind of constant attention so she will need to be matched with just the right dog siblings.  Louise is fantastic with humans, very respectful and obedient but will take charge if you don't establish yourself as a leader.  If you are interested in a young, lovely, smart and energetic Golden girl, Louise is ready to find her forever home.

*4. TYNER

TYNER is a gorgeous rusty red 2.5 year-old neutered male who loves to play with toys, chew on bones and be with his person.  Tyner was found as a stray and turned in at a local shelter.  Although there is not much known about his upbringing, Tyner has great house manners and does not get on furniture or bedding.  He is housebroken and does well with other dogs, children and people.  Tyner is curious about cats and seems to get along with them - however, he does enjoy a good chase!  He walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides and loves to play at the dog park.  Tyner weighs 50 lbs and needs to gain some weight.  He has a medical condition called Mega esophagus, which means he has a little sack in his esophagus where food and water sometimes get stuck.  As such, he has a tendency to vomit after eating and drinking, which makes gaining weight a little difficult.  With the right care and attention, this condition might improve with time.  Tyner is a wonderful dog that would make a terrific pet and a great addition to that special family.  Please consider giving Tyner the loving home that he deserves! 

*5. BARKELY

BARKLEY is a 9 wk male born to a purebred Golden. He is almost solid black and resembles a Golden puppy in size and head shape.  Barkley loves his toys, especially the ball.  He is very alert and responsive and will sit for treats and dinner.  Barkley sleeps in a crate and is working on potty training.  In spite of being a “big bruiser” he loves to be cuddled and give lots of puppy kisses.  Barkley has been diagnosed with a Class 2 heart murmur but he should be able to lead a generally normal life as long as he does not over exert, especially in hot weather.

*6. JUBALATION

JUBALATION is a 9 wk old male born to a purebred Golden.  Jubal, like his brother resembles a Golden puppy in size and head shape though his coloring is black with white chest and one white foot.  Jubal is the first to investigate new surroundings but is also a mellow boy who is perfectly happy to sit back and watch before jumping in.  He has been best buddies with his siblings and will also sit for treats and dinner.  Jubal also sleeps in a crate and is working on potty training.  He loves to be cuddled and has no problem passing out the puppy kisses.  Jubal has been diagnosed with a Class 3 heart murmur but he should be able to lead a generally normal life as long as he does not over exert, especially in hot weather.  His condition has the potential to improve as he matures.

Special needs dogs in the GRREAT program GRREAT is the golden rescue in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. areas. These special needs dogs need certain types of homes because of behavior or health issues.
BONO Bono: Such a bundle of "happy" ! This boy is eager to please and looking for his very own family to LOVE. Rescued from the local shelter, Bono needs someone to play with-human or canine. At about 6 months old he has some growing to do and some manners to learn. But an investment now will pay big rewards later. Bono requires a fenced yard and to live in the house with his people. What could be better in the winter than a cuddly, snuggly puppy to keep your feet warm? Bono is now neutered and fully vetted.

Teddy is a mellow golden retriever / great pyrenees mix. He is a 2 -3 year old neutered male, about 66 pounds, heart worm negative, current on all vaccinations and microchipped. He's gentle with young children but he's afraid of cats. That just shows his gentle heart. Ready to be adopted after August 14, Teddy is sure to become a loving member of your family.
