Hi, My name is Josie and I’m patiently waiting to meet my new forever family. I’m a small golden girl and my foster Mom says I’m very sweet. She also says that I’m pretty smart and know all my commands – the usual stuff, like sit, stay, down, and come. I’ve also learned to “wait” when it’s time to eat and I know a couple tricks too. I’m learning more about “leave it” and I quickly figured out what it means when foster Mom says “release”. I love hanging out with my foster family, and enjoy taking naps throughout the day. I’m okay with other dogs as long as they are nice to me. And as far as we know I’m okay with cats too. I spent a few hours at the groomers one day and there was a cat hanging around and I didn’t try to eat it or chase it, or anything like that, so that’s probably a good thing, right?
I don’t need a lot of exercise, cause I’m more of a senior girl. But I don’t want to sign up for AARP yet either. I’m fine with a walk or just throwing the ball in the back yard is good too. And if you have a pool, I’m in. Thunder and lightening are not a problem, but I’m a little shy around blow dryers. I’ll let you know if the door bell rings or if I hear a noise outside, but I’ll settle right down as long as you tell me that everything is fine. I’m pretty independent and I usually don’t get into too much trouble, unless you leave a paper towel on the counter. I don’t know why, but I really like the way they taste.
I’m a little funny when it comes to car rides. Probably haven’t had a lot of experience in the past, but I’ve had a little more recently. I usually holler shotgun and sometimes I get to ride up front.
I’m looking for a family that will take care of me, love me and let me love them too.

If you are interested in adopting one of our rescued Golden Retrievers, we ask that you first fill out an application. If and when you are approved, then you can let us know what kind of Golden you are interested in adopting, (age, sex, color, activity level,) and our adoption committee will pair you with one of our current rescued Goldens, or alert you as soon as the dog of your dreams enters our system. Or, you are more than welcome to browse through our list of available goldens and tell us what dogs you'd like to meet based on their descriptions and pictures. If you have any questions or comments, please email applications@azgrc.org.
Phoenix metro area, Maricopa County and most of Arizona. We are not able to adopt out to anyone outside of Arizona at this time.
