Story
We got Cooper as a puppy about 8 months ago. We have 5 acres, and the plan was to have him as a guard dog for the property. As time went on we realized that he is a very social dog and needs a lot of attention constantly. We are a family that is constantly on the go and realized he would have a better home with someone that can give him the constant attention he is craving.

Story
Meet Chance, a handsome 7-year-old Golden Retriever (turning 8 in December) weighing approximately 90 lbs. He’s an energetic, playful, and affectionate companion who loves being active and has spent plenty of time at doggy daycare playing with groups of dogs. While he’s friendly and social off leash, he experiences anxiety when meeting new people or unfamiliar dogs and can display leash reactivity. With slow introductions and patience, he settles in and builds strong bonds. He also has recurring skin sensitivities that cause itchiness and can lead to skin and ear infections, requiring ongoing care and regular veterinary attention. He’s looking for a patient, experienced home that understands his anxiety and medical needs and will be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion full of personality and affection.

Sage

Golden Retriever Poodle (Standard)

Female, Adult
Corona, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Sage, an approximately 18-month to 2-year-old, 50 lb Goldendoodle with a heart as beautiful as her looks. But Sage needs more than someone looking for a pretty dog. She needs someone willing to love a dog who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. It's clear Sage spent a long time surviving on her own. Sudden movements and everyday sounds can still frighten her, and while she has made incredible progress, she continues to heal at her own pace. She thrives on routine, predictability, and a calm home. She may never enjoy busy outings or crowded places, and that's okay. We are looking for someone with patience, compassion, and no expectations beyond letting Sage become the dog she is meant to be. Because she is a significant flight risk, Sage will need a very secure home and adopters committed to proper safety protocols. Every milestone she reaches, whether it's a tail wag, a playful zoomie, or choosing to stay close instead of running away, feels incredibly rewarding. The best part? There isn't a mean bone in her body. Sage absolutely loves other dogs and would do best with a confident canine companion who can help her continue building confidence. As she settles in, we're even starting to see her silly side emerge, from harmless kitchen "shopping" to curious little adventures that remind us she's finally learning how to just be a dog. Sage doesn't need someone to fix her. She needs someone who will accept her exactly as she is and celebrate every small victory along the way. If you're looking for a companion whose trust will be earned and whose progress will be deeply meaningful, Sage just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.
