Story
Hello there, everyone! The name's Daisy, just like the fabulous Daisy Duck - and let me tell you, I'm every bit as charming and lovely as my namesake. I might be a Labrador Retriever mix with a beautiful tan coat, but I've got that same elegance and grace that Daisy Duck brings to the screen. I'm a lady who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to show it. Just like Daisy Duck's signature style, I've got my own flair and a personality that's larger than life. Sure, I might not wear a bow, but my sweet and gentle demeanor is my way of stealing hearts. Leash walking? Well, I've got that covered, no need to worry about any tangles here. And when it comes to making friends, I've got the same warmth as Daisy Duck's smile. Whether you've got other dogs, cats, or human pals, I'm all about forming connections and spreading the love. I might not quack, but my presence is music to your ears. I'm here to shower you with affection, bring a touch of elegance to your life, and create wonderful memories together. So, if you're searching for a companion who's as sweet and endearing as Daisy Duck herself, look no further - I'm Daisy, and I'm ready to be your best friend! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Hey there, folks! The name's Donald, just like the famous duck himself - Donald Duck! I might not have feathers, but I've got the same vibrant personality and enthusiasm. I'm a proud Labrador Retriever mix with a voice that can rival ol' Donald Duck's loud quacks. You'll always know when I'm around, that's for sure! You see, I'm not just your ordinary pup. I've got a zest for life that matches the energy of my namesake. Whether I'm greeting you with an exuberant bark or wagging my tail so hard it feels like I'm about to take off, I'm all about living life to the fullest. I'm still learning the ropes, just like Donald Duck often finds himself in amusing situations. Leash walking is a bit of a challenge - sometimes I get tangled up, but I'm working on it! And when it comes to making friends, well, let's just say I'm eager to jump into the action. Other dogs, cats, humans - I'm up for it all. Sure, I can be loud, but I promise I've got a heart as big as my namesake's. I'm ready for adventures, cuddles, and plenty of quacks along the way. So, if you're looking for a lovable, boisterous companion who will keep you on your toes and bring a smile to your face, I'm your dog - er, duck! Just call me Donald.

Story
Requirements: Another medium, confident dog required Kids over the age of 8 Cats unknown Fence required - at least 4' Update 7/29/23: Lady is scheduled to be spay on 8/10/23. We are starting her on anxiety medication to keep her comfortable and progressing to being the best dog she deserves to be. Update 6/28/23: A small update on Lady: she’s making progress and showing she is learning to trust us. She even took a treat from our hand! We love watching her blossom and grow! Update 6/3/23: Lady had her vet check and the vet said her heart and lungs sound great, negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases. She is being treated for nasty ear infections. The vet was pretty impressed with her health considering her unknown background. Lady is making progress on learning how to trust humans but she is still a shy girl, we would LOVE to see her in a home so she can decompress even more. When Lady is brave enough to come up for pets, she freezes but eventually leans in to like them. She also does follow us around staying a bit of a distance but while it may seem minor, it is huge progress for our girl! Lady has been in playgroups with dogs of all sizes and she’s great, she seems to stay off to the side but there has been no signs of aggression. Lady truly is trying to come out of her shell and hopefully in time, she’ll realize this Golden life is GReat! Lady is a 5-year-old purebred Golden Retriever. Lady came in a week ago from a commercial breeding facility. The breeder had decided to retire her as he’s focusing on raising small breeds, so he reached out for us to take her in. We wish dogs could talk so she could tell us how she got all the scars on her nose, so whatever her past is, it’s clear she had some trauma. Lady is a bit on the shy side but is making huge strides, if you allow her to come to you, she will come up for pets and is learning how to enjoy them. She does keep her kennel clean and does love laying outside. Lady has spent the last week decompressing and is ready for the next step of her journey, to move into a home. She does walk somewhat well on a leash, but she does spook so a fenced yard would be preferred unless there is a strong plan in place to keep her safe. Kids should be at least 8 or older, she still is figuring out that people can be good so too active of a home may be too much for her. She definitely follows the other dogs in her home so another dog is required. It’s been great watching her come out of her shell over the last week and with the right home, we know she’ll continue to grow. She is eligible for a foster to forever program. https://grroiowa.org/pet/lady-23-007/
