Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please note that we can not guarantee the age, expected weight or breed of any animal. What we provide is our best estimates based on our experience and the information provided by the our medical partners. If breed and eventual size are of great importance we suggest looking into a breed specific rescue or adopting a full grown animal. Unless otherwise noted, ALL animals are fostered and available for adoption on Long Island, NY. Behavioral Assessment for Scout (Golden Retriever) Name: Scout Breed: Golden Retriever Age: 2 years old Behavioral Concerns: Reactivity towards small animals, possessiveness over toys/food Overview: Scout is a golden retriever with a generally friendly demeanor but has shown a few behavior issues that need attention, primarily related to interactions with small animals and his possessiveness of toys & food. Specific Observations: 1. Reactivity Toward Small Animals: • Behavior: Scout shows signs of discomfort or agitation around small animals, such as cats or small dogs. This could manifest as attacking, growling, or attempting to chase them. • Potential Causes: This behavior may stem from a high prey drive, lack of early socialization with smaller animals, or previous negative experiences. • Recommendation: Introduce Scout to smaller animals gradually in a controlled environment, focusing on positive reinforcement when he remains calm. Consider working with a trainer for safe exposure exercises to reduce reactivity. 2. Possessiveness with Toys: • Behavior: Scout displays possessive tendencies when it comes to toys, especially during interactions with other dogs. He may guard his toys, growl, or refuse to share. • Potential Causes: Possessiveness can arise from competition for resources in a multi-pet household or a learned behavior where Scout associates toys with comfort or reward. • Recommendation: Implement “trade-up” training, where Scout is taught that giving up a toy results in a more desirable reward. Avoid taking toys away suddenly, as this could increase his possessive tendencies. Structured playtimes where Scout is not overwhelmed by other dogs could also help reduce anxiety around sharing. Temperament: Golden Retrievers are generally known for their friendly and easygoing nature. While Scout’s behavior deviates slightly from this breed standard, with proper training and patience, he has the potential to improve his interactions with small animals and his willingness to share. He may benefit from an environment that provides consistent training, clear boundaries, and positive socialization. Next Steps: Consult a Trainer: Seek out a professional dog trainer or behaviorist who can provide personalized training strategies to address Scout’s specific issues. 2. Establish Consistency: Set clear and consistent rules for Scout regarding his behavior around toys and small animals, ensuring all family members and caregivers follow the same protocols. 3. Focus on Positive Reinforcement: Reward Scout’s calm behavior when around small animals or when he willingly gives up a toy. This helps him build positive associations with these situations. Conclusion: With the right approach, Scout’s reactivity towards small animals and possessiveness over toys can be managed effectively. Patience and structured training are key to helping him become more comfortable and cooperative in these scenarios.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 3, 2025, 12:27 pm

Story

Meet Honey, a 5.5-year-old retriever mix who’s basically a living, breathing marshmallow: soft, sweet, and just a little bit squishy when it comes to confidence. At first glance, Honey might look like she’s auditioning for the role of “shy woodland creature #3” ,she’ll avoid eye contact at first, but give her a little time, and you’ll discover a quietly charming, low-key girl who’s just figuring out how to trust the world again. Honey knows how to sit and walks nicely on leash, which makes her the perfect companion for quiet strolls with plenty of sniff breaks. With other dogs, Honey is social but prefers the gentle, polite types. Pushy pups need not apply—she’s not afraid to set boundaries with a side-eye and a graceful retreat. Because she’s still gaining confidence, Honey would do best in a calm home with kids aged 12+ and maybe a respectful canine roommate who understands the beauty of quiet companionship. If you’ve got a cozy spot on your couch and the patience to let a tender soul bloom in her own time, Honey just might be your perfect match.

Story

Rylo came in with another dog as an owner surrender. Unfortunately they could no longer care for them so he is currently at the shelter. Rylo is a 2.5 year old and is a retriever mix. He walks well on leash, and already knows the `sit` cue. Rylo may take some time to warm up to people, but so far he is doing quite well with making new friends slowly! Rylo is a playful pup and would do best in an active home, where his new family can take him on some outdoor adventures!

Story

Who loves goldens!?! Baxter had a rough first 6 months of his life but he's ready for the rest of his life to be AMAZING. He is big, goofy, adorable, loving, playful, and all around fun. He does have some separation anxiety due to how he was treated in his first months of life but he may be able to get past that with a stable, loving, and attentive family. He may be 60lbs but he is all puppy. He needs a home where he isn't left alone for many hours each day (ie: work from home or someone that is home more than not). He also needs someone willing to work with him on general obedience and manners. He is a typical, precious golden boy who just needs the right family to love him as much as he loves them! Baxter is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and anyone interested must be able to come to Huntsville to meet him. If you are interested, please fill out an application at forrescue.net.
