Story

Margo is the kind of dog who stops people in their tracks—beautiful, soft, soulful, and radiating that unmistakable Golden Retriever sweetness. She came from a backyard breeder as an 8-week-old puppy, advertised as a Goldendoodle, but as she grew, it became clear that her heart and her heritage lean almost entirely Golden. Born on 2/7/23 and now weighing about 50 pounds, she has matured into a graceful, gentle young girl who wants nothing more than to be loved. Her original family adored her and provided her with a safe, caring home, but unexpected personal challenges arose—difficult ones that prevented them from giving her the consistency, time, and attention she truly deserved. They made the painful, selfless decision to ask for help in finding her a new family, wanting Margo to live her best possible life. And what a gift this girl will be to her new home. Margo is sweetness personified. She is friendly with every dog she meets, respectful and calm around cats, and gentle enough to be trusted with young children. She needs to be in a home of no small dogs - she thinks they are playthings. Her temperament is exactly what people love about Golden Retrievers—steady, affectionate, intuitive, and endlessly kind. She greets new people with a soft smile and happy tail as if welcoming them into her world. Margo is still young and doesn’t have many commands under her belt, but she is a blank slate in the best possible way. She watches her people carefully, eager to understand what’s expected of her, and she responds beautifully to gentle guidance. With patience and routine, she will blossom into a perfectly mannered companion. A fenced yard would be ideal for her—she loves the freedom to run, sniff, and stretch those young, energetic legs. She hasn’t had nearly enough opportunities for outdoor play or structured exercise, so a family who values activity and time outside will help her thrive. After playtime, she’ll settle in beside you with that soft Golden warmth that makes every house feel more like home. Margo is the whole package: beauty, personality, intelligence, and a heart full of love. She is ready for the stability of a forever home where she won’t have to transition again—a place where she can grow up, bond deeply, and be cherished every day. If you’ve been dreaming of a young Golden mix with all the emotional intelligence and gentle spirit the breed is famous for, Margo could truly be your once-in-a-lifetime dog. She is hoping to find her new family just in time for the holiday season. To apply for this beautiful girl, email ccrnewengladn@gmail.com. Margo is ready for her fresh start. &#226&#156&#168PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.

Story

Lincoln is a sweet boy that seems eager to please. He is very strong and is still learning to not pull on the leash. He loves his walks and gets very excited once he sees his collar and leash. He is limited to easy, short walks as he is heartworm positive. Shortly after Lincoln arrived to his foster home, he seemed lethargic and wasn’t eating much. He did go to the ER to rule out anything serious. He spent the night and perked up a bit after IV fluids. He was still not eating well and would vomit almost daily so he saw our local vet. He had additional x-rays and bloodwork and was still a bit of a mystery. He was on a bland diet of only boiled turkey, eating frequent small meals throughout the day as anything else, or larger quantities caused him to vomit. The vet decided to do an endoscopy 12/23 to see if that would provide answers. It did! The scope showed large amounts of Helicobacter (H.pylori) throughout his stomach and biopsies were also done. He is currently on his third week of treatment with Pepcid AC and 2 antibiotics to help treat that. So far, so good! He is finally eating normal sized portions of turkey. The vet feels it may stem from allergies as there are certain proteins he will not even touch (salmon, whitefish) and others that have caused him to vomit (lamb, beef). Currently his foster prepares his meals fresh with ground turkey as we attempt to heal his gut and continue in the right direction. Lincoln is looking for a special home that will continue to help him thrive. He most likely will require to continue eating in this manner (a gently cooked or raw diet) as it is working. He also has a strong prey drive and is still double leashed on walks and in the foster’s yard. He fixates on the squirrels, deer, foxes, and wild turkeys. He does not bark and moves quickly and stealthily when he notices them. He is a great dog and very affectionate. He does not know the concept of personal space. He still needs additional training which the foster can start working on, now that he is finally feeling better. It will help determine what will be the best environment and lifestyle for Lincoln.

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ AGE: Approaching 3 years ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 55 pounds KNOWN WITH DOGS: Snowy needs to be an only dog.

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: he is ok with a crate and is house trained, KNOWN LIKES: Exploring, walking, sniffing, stuffed toys and most of all belly rubs. KNOWN DISLIKES: Not a fan of other dogs with positive reinforcement he is improving SNOWY IS SEEKING A LIFELONG SNUGGLE PARTNER: Occupation: Full-time Cuddle Specialist Interests: Hugs, belly rubs, snacks, showing off his toys Snowy is the kind of dog who believes snuggling should be considered a competitive sport — and he’s going for gold. His signature move is the classic full-body lean, where he melts into you like warm butter on toast. He gives big, honest hugs and expects nothing more in return than a few scratches and maybe a compliment. When Snowy’s happy (which is often), he proudly parades around with a toy in his mouth, his whole backside wiggling like it has its own opinion. It’s nearly impossible not to grin when he does it. His Strengths: * Excellent house manners: house-trained, crate-trained, quiet, polite * Smart, food-motivated, knows a number of commands * Loves kids and is great in the car *Charming and unintentionally hilarious just by being himself His Hobbies: * Cuddling on any available human * Sunbathing * Enjoying enrichment games *Trotting around with toys * Greeting visitors like they’re there specifically to admire him Areas He’s Working On: Snowy is learning to walk past other dogs calmly. With treats and practice, he’s doing well. He prefers being the only pet — easier to keep all the attention that way. Ideal Match: Someone who enjoys a silly, snuggly dog with good manners and a big heart. He’ll do best in a suburban setting where dogs aren’t constantly popping up to say hello. If you want a cheerful, affectionate, goofy companion who gives world-class hugs and makes every day better, Snowy would love to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Snowy is waiting!
