Story
Check me out! I'm Megan* and even though I'm 10 years old, my foster says I have the energy of a three-year-old! I run and play with the best of them! I'm on the smallish side for a Golden Mix, just 50 pounds. I had heartworms when I got to TGRR so I've been with a foster family for many weeks while I've been treated to get rid of those horrible, dangerous things. During that time, I got along with most dogs, but sometimes I'm finicky about which canines I want to be friends with, so TGRR thinks it's best if I'm the only dog in your home. That's fine with me 'cause it means I'll get ALL the attention! I've not been around cats or kids so I don't know about them. I've got a couple of naughty traits, I must admit. If you leave me unsupervised, I get a little anxious and will look for things to chew up (socks, gloves, etc.), so it's best that your house remains puppy-proofed. The good news is that I crate well. I even go in my crate throughout the day and nap in there with the door open. And at bedtime, I curl up in my crate and don't make a peep so everyone in the house can get their beauty sleep. My other naughty trait is that I learned how to climb up the chain link fence and escape at my first foster home. So I need to go to a home that has a privacy fence. When I first walk on the leash, I pull a bit but I'm easily corrected and will walk beside you for the most part. If we walk to places I'm familiar with, you can count on me to walk with a loose leash. It's just new adventures that get me over-excited. But hey, that's how it goes with almost every dog, isn't it? I know how to sit on command for a treat (love me some treats) and will come when called. Foster Mom says I'm a fast learner, I'm smart, and that I'm eager to please. I'm always up for playing or going for a walk, but my favorite thing is a good cuddle. I hope you don't let my age deter you - I've got lots of life left in me and I'm hoping I can spend it with you! We are pleased to announce that Megan’s veterinary coverage is partially sponsored by Vintage Fur Senior Dogs Inc! Megan will receive $600 every year in veterinary coverage for the rest of her life. This money may be used to treat conditions and treatments including prescription medication, bloodwork, imaging and more. To learn more about the sponsorship, please visit https://www.vintagefur.org

Story
Loudon is an 8-year-old male purebred show Golden Retriever with a medium energy level and a big personality. He enjoys leisurely walks, cozy couch time, and playing fetch with his impressive toy collection—especially his favorites: squirrel, lamby, and sloth (yes, he knows them by name!). He also takes his role as “yard supervisor” seriously and has a natural talent for digging and keeping an eye on the local squirrel population. When Loudon first came into rescue, he had several medical needs, including being significantly overweight, joint discomfort, a chronic ear infection, and allergies. With the support of his foster family and NRGRR, he has made wonderful progress—losing over 20 pounds and continuing toward a healthy goal weight. He is also doing much better with the help of medications to manage his joint health, ear condition, and anxiety. Loudon is a loving and engaging companion who forms strong bonds with his people. He enjoys affection, but like many dogs, he appreciates having his boundaries respected. He prefers to initiate contact and will let you know he’s ready for attention by nudging or gently pawing you, or by sweetly tucking his nose between your legs. Being mindful of his comfort, especially around more sensitive areas like his lower back, feet, and belly, helps him feel safe and secure. Loudon can be protective of high-value treats and the people he is closest to, particularly his primary caregiver. He communicates this through body language such as positioning himself nearby, growling, or giving clear signals that he needs space. With an understanding owner who can read and respect these cues, Loudon thrives and feels more at ease. While Loudon previously lived with another dog, he is currently most comfortable as the only pet in the home. He would do best in a calm, adult-only household where he can relax without the stress of sharing his space with other animals or young children. Loudon’s ideal home is one that offers a balance of gentle activity and quiet downtime, along with access to a yard or outdoor space where he can explore and enjoy himself. Most importantly, he needs a patient and committed adopter who understands his needs and is willing to continue supporting his progress. In return, Loudon offers loyalty, companionship, and a wonderful sense of humor. He is a special dog who, with the right person or family, will continue to blossom and share the love he has to give.

Story
Meet our sweet Miss Honey! Our little charmer is around 4 months old and 16 pounds of cuddles. She was found on along side a mountain road in Puerto Rico—no home, no food, no water, just her and her siblings trying to survive. It’s hard to imagine how such a small, gentle soul ended up there, with no one to protect her. But somehow, she held on. 💛 Rescued just in time, she’s now safe in a loving foster home—and her true personality is shining through. She’s incredibly friendly, full of playful energy, and always ready to share affection. She’ll happily follow you around, eager for attention, or curl up beside you like she’s always belonged there. Despite everything she’s been through, her heart is wide open. She trusts. She loves. She hopes. She’s healthy, smart, and learning quickly—just waiting for someone to give her the forever home she deserves. A place where she’ll never feel abandoned again. A place where she’ll be part of a family. If you’ve been thinking about adding a loyal, loving companion to your life, this sweet girl might be the one. She’s ready to give you all the love she has—she just needs someone to give her a chance. 🐾 She is currently in Puerto Rico and can be sent anywhere for her forever home! We are hoping to find her the home she’s been waiting for. 💕
