Story

Meet Denny — The Sweetest Golden Retriever Looking for His Forever Family! Name: Denny Age: 4 years Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Gold Weight: 31 kg Height: 66 cm (shoulder height) Rescue Story Denny was rescued in February 2025 after being placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter. He stayed at a private shelter for several months and moved to his foster home in June. Since then, he has blossomed into the most affectionate, people-loving Golden boy. ‍‍‍ Socialization with People Denny is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves everyone — familiar people and strangers alike. • He leans in for pets, rubs against people, and loves belly rubs. • He is excellent with children under 13 and is comfortable being lifted or handled gently. • Even with new people, he often rolls over to show his belly. • He enjoys being near people during downtime, though he prefers sleeping alone. • He can be very enthusiastic — sometimes running in for hugs or kisses, which can surprise those not used to big friendly dogs! • No issues with baths, paw cleaning, or handling. He tolerates teeth brushing but isn’t a fan. Socialization with Dogs Denny is friendly and polite with other dogs. • He approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and play. • He matches well with medium to large dogs and enjoys playful interactions. With Cats • He watches cats with curiosity outdoors, but when guided by his handler, he follows direction well and continues walking. (He may be suitable for a cat home with proper introductions.) Energy Level • At first glance he seems high-energy, but his stamina is moderate. • After 3–4 hours of outdoor activity, he often falls asleep as soon as he gets in the car. • During play with dog friends, he starts energetic but will bark to set boundaries when he becomes tired or overstimulated. ‍ Walks & Outdoor Behavior Denny is a joy to walk. • He has plenty of leash experience and doesn’t pull. • He loves sniffing and will naturally slow down or stop to explore scents. • He becomes excited when he sees the leash — may jump or mouth the leash — so calming him before leaving the house is important. • He loves balls and toys; he can even find hidden balls in grass and often brings home any he discovers during walks! Other Behaviors • No resource guarding toward people or dogs. • Rarely barks. • Calm in a crate and knows how to get in/out of the car by himself. • Sometimes refuses to get in the car after walks because he wants to stay outside longer. • Mostly potty-trained outdoors. • If he has stomach discomfort early in the morning, he will wake his person up to go outside — letting him out promptly helps prevent indoor accidents. • Occasionally gets soft stool after eating too many treats. Denny Is Looking For… A family who loves Golden Retrievers’ affectionate, goofy, people-loving personality. Someone who enjoys outdoor activities, understands his excitement around walks, and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love. If you think Denny could be the perfect match for you, please submit an adoption application! Apply to foster or adopt: www.adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook or Instagram.

Story

Buddy is a 6-year-old, 57-lb neutered male Lab mix with a big heart and a gentle, affectionate personality. He was saved from the euthanasia list in San Antonio, TEXAS and is currently being fostered there, but he is available for out-of-state transport arranged by the rescue once matched with an approved adopter. Endearingly called “Air Bud” by his foster, Buddy loves people and forms bonds easily. He’s playful, social, and enjoys toys, pets, and any moment spent with his humans. He’s dog-friendly, but he doesn’t require another dog in the home—as long as he’s given love, attention, and companionship, he thrives. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows “sit.” He does great in the car, making him an easy travel buddy. Buddy enjoys walks and hikes, and because he gets excited to explore, he’s currently working on his leash manners. He may pull slightly, but he settles into a comfortable rhythm and loves being outside. His playful side comes out when he’s engaging with toys or adventuring, but indoors he settles well and loves relaxing near his people. We don’t have history with cats or young children, so we recommend a home with kids 13+ who understand dog body language and how to interact respectfully. Buddy is loving, loyal, and ready for his forever home. He’s looking for a calm, patient family who can help him learn to trust and continue to become his best self. He’s the perfect mix of playful and easygoing and would make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give him the love he’s always deserved. Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. ___ Breed and Age Notice: The listed breed and age are our best estimates. In most cases, we do not know a dog’s exact age or full breed mix, as information is often limited. Ready to apply? Complete an adoption application using the link below!
