Story
, my dog is 8 years old. She has really bad separation anxiety, so she needs someone who's home all the time. She has a weak bladder, so someone with a yard is also best. She's a sweetheart and she loves to cuddle and loves to give kisses. She will follow you around the house if you allow her to. She is leash trained, but if she sees another dog, she might bark.

Story
Gatsby is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever & Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as golden as his fur. Rescued just in time from a shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia, Gatsby's past is a mystery—but one thing is clear: he was once someone's beloved companion. His intelligence and well-mannered behavior suggest he received training from an early age. Gatsby is calm, gentle, and incredibly polite. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and wait and patiently sits for treats without a fuss. He’s not much of a barker and remains composed even in new environments or around strangers. He adores human affection and will melt into your touch, always ready to soak up love and cuddles. While Gatsby is sweet with people, he's more of a solo explorer when it comes to other dogs. He prefers his own company over rowdy playtime and would thrive as the only dog in a home. If another pup challenges him, he may react, so a peaceful, single-dog household would be best for him. This handsome gentleman walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is ready to settle into home life. He may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, but with patience and love, he will blossom into the loyal, graceful companion he was meant to be. If you understand the loving, devoted nature of Retrievers and are ready to give Gatsby the forever home he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless affection and unwavering loyalty. Gatsby is waiting for a family to love him forever—could it be you?

Story
Barney was a rescue from Triad Golden Retriever Rescue at the approximate age of 8 years old. He was cared for in family of 4 (my ex-wife and two boys) for many years. After divorce, Barney now lives with just me in my town home and it has become difficult for me to spend the time with him that he needs during this later stage of his life. He is about 13 years old and in good health for his age. He is very calm when he has a human companion with him, but the time that I'm away he is anxious. I would like to find him a good home with someone who can spend time with him. He loves to go for walks, he's been eating two cups a day of dry dog food and is house trained. He can't go as long as he used to without a bathroom break which is another reason he needs a new home. Would be great for a retired person that lives alone and needs a companion. He is a super sweat boy with a calm demeanor.

Story
Riptide is a young male retriever mix with a sense of adventure! He is good on the leash, and is curious but respectful of all the animals at the Funny Farm. Riptide is a medium size, at 34 lbs, but will surely get a bit bigger. This boy loves to romp and roll with doggo friends and would do best with an active family who will go and do with him! With a warm tan/brown coat and a sweet set of brown eyes, Riptide is sure to pull you away from the other dogs and make you his new family! **Volunteer Dog Walker feedback: " Riptide is an energetic, happy-go-lucky pup.  He thoroughly enjoyed his hike and kept up a good pace.  He got along well with the other dogs and was particularly interested in the lady dogs, always checking to make sure they were doing okay as they went along on the hike" **Volunteer Dog Walk feedback: " I was shocked to learn he was only 7 months old because he responded to commands and redirection like a more mature dog.  He looked up at me to check in often, and really responded well to being called "good boy" - I think he's heard that before"!  ** " He did a great job on a 3 mile hike and may occasionally explore if a pinecone is worth eating.  He quickly knew it was not a snack, but still carried it down the trail for a minute."

She was great about staying on course and was easily redirected when needed. She dodged puddles on the trail like a pro but enjoyed a dip in the steam to cool off. Samantha was friendly with the other dogs but was happy to walk independently. She wasn’t reactive to cars, dogs, or people. Samantha would make a great adventure buddy"!
