Story
Hi, I'm Bella Grey, a 5-month-old purebred silver retriever pup looking for my forever family! I have a pedigree and everything! 🐕 I'm a big, beautiful girl with an even bigger personality! I'm incredibly loving and affectionate, and although I'm getting bigger by the day, nobody has had the heart to tell me that I'm not actually a lapdog. If there's an available lap, I'll happily try to fit myself into it! I'm a smart girl, too! I'm very food-and treat-motivated, which makes training fun for both of us. I already know sit, down, place/bed, and I can even heel on a leash when you've got some tasty motivation handy. I'm also crate-trained and housebroken. I've only had a couple of accidents in the house, and I'm very good about letting you know when I need to go outside. One of my FAVORITE things in the world is fetch! Throw a toy for me and I'll chase it down-and yes, I actually bring it back! I love toys of every description. If it's a toy, I'm interested. When I'm ready for a little downtime, I have another favorite pastime: watching TV! Apparently I'm a girl with varied interests. I'm still a puppy, so I have LOTS of energy and enthusiasm for life. I can be exuberant and I will need a family committed to continuing my training and giving me plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. But underneath all that puppy energy is an exceptionally loving girl who wants to be close to her people. I'm looking for a family who wants more than just a dog. I'm ready to be your cuddle buddy, fetch partner, TV-watching companion, and adventure sidekick. Could I be your girl?

These babies are about 3 1/2 months old. They are wonderful, smart, sweet natured boys! Their mom is a Golden Retriever and dad is a black lab. Gary has a slightly longer coat, while Carl has a more smooth coat and a white patch on his chest. Both are equally gorgeous and such good natured babies. Dont miss out on these guys!

Story
Captain — 11-Month-Old Golden Retriever Looking for His Forever Home We are looking to rehome our sweet boy, Captain. He is a healthy, full Golden Retriever who was purchased from a breeder and was born on 10/23/2025. Captain is crate trained, fully potty trained, and knows basic commands. He is a loving, playful, energetic dog who has so much potential and is a genuinely good boy. After a lot of thought, we’ve realized that our current lifestyle just isn’t the right fit for the amount of exercise, attention, and training that Captain needs at this stage of his life. This is not because he is a bad dog—we truly want to find him a home where he can thrive and get everything he deserves. Captain would do best with someone who has a large, securely fenced-in yard, an active lifestyle, and the time and patience to continue working with him on training, exercise, and structure. He is still young and has a lot of puppy energy, so an experienced Golden Retriever owner or someone familiar

Story
Bear is a healthy soon to be 5 years old (November 1 ). We are a recently retired couple relocating and downsizing. Our new home does not have outdoor space for Bear. We have had Bear since he was 12 weeks old , he loves when our grandchildren visit and gets very sad when they leave. He would thrive in a family that has children. He is vocal when visitors come, needing to make sure he gets petted before anything else can be done. He is up to date with all shots and is licensed. We walk Bear easily on a leash ,he prefers to run loose in the back yard. We have had him in dog parks and have not had any issues though he prefers to follow the other dog owners and get petted by them rather then play with the other dogs. We want to place him with a family that will return the love to Bear that he will surely give to them. As said before he is great with kids and would thrive from the attention they give him.
