Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Norwalk, Connecticut

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Murphy is a handsome 11-year old Golden Retriever who was lovingly cared for his whole life. Sadly, when his owner had to move to senior housing and was unable to bring Murphy along, he remained alone at his home for several weeks. During that time a wonderful community of friends and neighbors took care of Murphy until he became a Sunshine dog. They all grew to know and love Murphy during those weeks and there were many tears as they said farewell and sent him on his journey to his new life. Currently in foster care, we have learned that Murphy is a happy Golden who adores all humans, young and old, big and little. He recently met his foster's grandkids and played nicely with all of them. In classic Golden style, Murphy loves to be petted and has "the Golden lean" perfected, coming in close for pets. This gentle, good boy just loves being close to his people. Murphy enjoys his walks and walks nicely on a leash. In fact, he can be a bit stubborn if he decides he would like to walk farther by stopping until you continue on! He also loves his stuffies and will proudly present them to you. His foster mom shared, "He seemed to want to go out but it was confirmed when he started "talking" then came around the sofa with my gloves and headband in his mouth to bring them to me! What a hoot!" He eats well and, at 110 lbs, Murphy is a large Golden who could stand to lose a few pounds. Murphy can climb a few stairs and may eventually manage a full flight with some weight loss, regular exercise, and perhaps some supplements to aid his mobility. He needs a little boost to get into the car and rides well, although he does not seem to love car rides as some dogs do. We believe that sweet Murphy has lived a rather quiet lifestyle and was the center of his person's world. He does not appear to have much experience with other dogs or cats, and does not seem to need them at all! Thus, we believe he will be happiest as an only dog. His favorite things are his walks, his stuffies, and his human. A home where Murphy can spend the rest of his years being someone's special boy would make him so happy. With all the smiles he will bring you, you'll be happy too! Murphy is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, and heartworm negative. While he does not take any medicine, it may be that joint supplements commonly given to older dogs may help him stay comfortable. This gentle, good boy is being fostered in New England and would love to meet you! If you would like to give Murphy the loving retirement home he deserves and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary to be considered.

The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready. The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers.

Alana came to SGRR when her former owner faced difficult economic times. Alana was left home most of the day with her brother, Ace, and received little mental or physical stimulation. Knowing she deserved better, Alana surrendered to our rescue and is ready to start her new life. This 4-year-old girl was born on 8/30/2021 and truly has a way of lifting your spirits just by resting her head in your lap. Her foster mom shares, "Alana is so much fun. She’s confident and playful. She will just walk up to Ace and take his ball, and they will sometimes play tug of war. She totally ignores his growling, protecting his ball. She loves to play and retrieve, as you can see in her video! They don’t lie next to each other or look for the other when they are gone. She also doesn’t seem overly interested in Maki (our resident dog), but she loves people and is cuddly when we sit on the floor. She loves to go for hikes in the woods, is easy to walk, and is very efficient on eliminations." Alana is about 4 years old and weighs around 45 lbs. This Golden Retriever/Poodle mix would make a faithful, fun, and devoted companion. She has the biggest heart and the sweetest disposition! She is very well behaved and is housebroken. Alana has been spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for heartworm. She is in the northeast and ready to meet her forever family! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered for Alana. If you are not yet approved, please visit our website to fill out an application!

These difficult economic times have caused many pet owners to have to give up their beloved pets. Such was the case with Ace and his sister, Alana. This handsome 6-year-old Golden Retriever is seeking his new forever home where he can play ball and get lots of snuggle time. Foster mom shares, "He is very affectionate and sweet to people. He leans in for pets and likes to cuddle if we sit on the floor. He loves playing ball - retrieves beautifully, drops the ball, and waits for the next. Inside, he wants to carry balls and grumbles at both other dogs if they come close, but Alana just ignores him and takes it anyway, and he doesn’t do anything. Some tough guy!! LOL He barks when someone comes to the door, but is quickly quiet, sits promptly, and eliminates efficiently when we take him out. Mostly Ace loves being with people, is friendly, and rests near where you are after ball-playing together. He also loves snuggle time, family affection, and lying by a warm fireplace. He is a very handsome guy, not high-strung, and happy with regular short walks." There are many reasons why Ace would be a wonderful addition to most homes: Ace is a snuggler, he sits on the foster family's laps and cuddles on the couch. He likes to give very soft kisses with the tip of his tongue. He has a very gentle way about him. When his fosters give him a hard, crunchy cookie and he has to flip it multiple times and let it soften before he will crunch into it. He is very efficient, the fosters take him out and he pees right away. He really loves to play ball. A chuck-it is the best way to keep him happy. He definitely needs a yard where he can retrieve. He knows where everyone is and always sits in the room with his people. He is a classic golden. We ask you to inquire to adopt Ace only if you are prepared to be stopped when you're out and about - people won't be able to help themselves from commenting about how stunning he is! Not only that, but Ace is a sweet, loving, and highly intelligent guy. Take a look at his video with Ace, Alana, and their foster brother. Ace is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and negative for heartworm. He weighs around 65 lbs and is in the northeast, and is waiting for you to grab his leash and take him home! If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Ace. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical.

Hi, my name is Meera! I’m four years old, about 20 pounds, and I’m told I’m a Golden Retriever–Dachshund mix. What that really means is that I’ve got the sweetest heart wrapped up in a small, easy-to-cuddle body. I don’t ask for much—just a soft lap, a gentle hand, and someone who likes having me close by. If you’re sitting down, I’ll happily hop up to keep you company or if you need to run some errands I would love to tag along since I’m also great in the car. I get along well with other dogs, but people are truly my favorite. I love meeting new friends and I’m quick to warm up, wagging my tail and asking for attention. My happiest moments are when I can curl up right beside you and soak in your love. I’ll greet you with joy, stay close when you need comfort, and remind you that life is better when shared. I’m ready to find my forever home, and maybe that home is with you! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
