My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

8 year old Orion's owners split up and divorced - - - - - and he was left homeless. After spending considerable time alone in a house with just other animals and a caretaker coming in to feed and water, Orion was taken to a high kill shelter where thankfully, the personnel there saw what a fine older gentleman he really is. (Several of the other dogs/cats from this home weren't so lucky.) Orion enjoys the company of other dogs, and is very mild mannered. Orion's ears were impacted with debris to the point that he was almost completely deaf. It took hours to clear away enough of the impacted material for us to even find his ear canals. The neglect of his ears led to chronic ear infections - - - which he still battles. And, this poor old boy does have some bowel issues now, too - - - and would need to be housed where cleanup is easy as spontaneous bowel movements can (and do) occur. Orion would be best served living in a home where he had immediate access to outside (dog door?) - and where (on nice days) he could spend a good deal of time lounging outside. Orion needs a special home - - - and a special owner. If you would like to offer Orion a special forever home, please submit an application which you can find on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org). Emailing your application to us will get the fastest response.
