Story

Maggie is about 5 yrs old. She was rescued, but confirmed to be a full blooded golden retriever. She is living with another dog and a cat. She harasses the cat, but is not aggressive toward her. She would do best in a more active home where she doesn't have to compete for attention (NO OTHER PETS). She is obedience trained, very sweet, housebroken and always eager to learn, but needs someone who is experienced handling high energy dogs. So, why are we rehoming her? We are older and she gets very excited; in a friendly way (she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body) when she sees other dogs and sometimes people. When this happens, it creates a perfect storm, and makes it unsafe for either of us to walk the two dogs together. My 6’3” partner has fallen several times when she lunged toward another dog or person, making it nearly impossible for him to manage both dogs. As we are older, the risk of falls/fracture is too scary.

Story

Meet DJ! A spirited three-year-old Golden Retriever currently in Central Connecticut whose essence is a golden swirl of boundless energy and heartfelt expressions. With his sun-kissed coat and 67 pounds of joyful motion, DJ is the kind of pup who seems to wear his heart on his paw. Whether he's chasing his beloved ball, galloping after bird shadows, or leaping after falling leaves, DJ turns every moment outside into a celebration of life! DJ is the definition of expressive, he’ll greet you with whimpers of joy when you walk in the door and flop dramatically with a groan when he’s feeling overlooked. He even has a bedtime routine that involves resting his chin on the coffee table and locking eyes until someone gets the message: time to wind down! His playful side shines when he's outdoors or hanging out with other dogs, and he’s a favorite at doggy daycare for his friendly and social nature. He knows a great list of commands (sit, stay, come, down, paw, high five) and is both crate- and house-trained. DJ also does well when left alone for short periods and usually just naps until you return. Now, let’s talk about something important: DJ’s resource guarding. This behavior likely stems from growing up in a large litter where he had to compete for meals. While he’s made impressive progress through hand-feeding, training, and structure, he can still feel uneasy in situations where food or new toys are involved. If he senses that something valuable might be taken from him, he may communicate discomfort with a low growl or by showing his teeth. These moments are infrequent and haven’t led to harm, but they are important cues that DJ uses to express stress. His new family should be comfortable reading those signals and giving him space when needed. With consistency, patience, and continued use of positive reinforcement, DJ is learning that he’s safe and supported. DJ’s anxiety is currently well-managed with medication, and he thrives in a calm, child-free home where routines are predictable and caregivers are experienced. With the right guidance, he’ll continue blossoming into a loyal, goofy, and deeply affectionate companion! Could DJ be the golden-hearted sidekick your home has been missing?

Story

Buster is a gorgeous Golden Retriever mix who is a young adult (about 2 years old). He lives with dogs of all sizes and gets along with everyone but he is dominant over food so I feed him separately. He also lives with cats and kittens and has never tried to chase them and doesn't really pay attention to them. He is low-to-medium energy in general but has the stamina to go on long hikes, etc. He is not a barker and not a jumper and not a bolter. He likes to be petted. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tacoma, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) - Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative). Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95

Story

Peyton is a high-energy, bouncy boy who is full of enthusiasm and personality. He’s still learning his manners and will need a committed adopter who can provide consistent training, structure, and guidance. Peyton would thrive in an active home where daily exercise and positive reinforcement are part of the routine.Because of his jumpy behavior and training needs, Peyton is best suited for an adult-only home. In his previous home, he did not do well with children, so a kid-free environment is required to help him succeed. With patience and consistency, Peyton has the potential to become a wonderful companion for the right person.
