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
He might be a dog, but Barkson is looking to bring his handsome, his energy and his fun and playful bark to a family where he can take up the role of a fur-son! Hence, his perfect fitting name. Barkson is a retriever mix who has a stunning golden coat. He weighs about 29 lbs now but he has room to grow! This young man is all energy all the time and is both super active as well as super curious and yet still a little shy and unsure of lots of things he has never yet seen. Barkson does wonderfully with other dogs and would love a playmate for sure! He is smart and loves good so would be a great training candidate to learn everything you want him to know about living in a home and being the invaluable family member he cannot help but become. This ball of energy wrapped in a golden coloring cannot wait to meet you!

Biscuits is an adult 94‑pound tan and brown shepherd mix with a heart as warm as his coloring. He has a gentle, grounded presence that instantly puts people at ease. His soft eyes tell a story—one of resilience, hope, and a dog who has finally learned that kindness is real. Even though life hasn’t been the easiest, Biscuits never lost his sweetness and has opened up with quiet bravery and is ready to enjoy his second chance at life. With patience, safety, and love, Biscuits has blossomed into a dog who trusts again, leans in for affection, and shows his true, gentle spirit. An adult, Biscuits has reached that perfect stage of life—past the puppy chaos but still full of curiosity, joy, and a playful spark. He loves being close to his people, soaking up attention, and offering his steady companionship. Biscuits walks beautifully by your side, checks in often, and makes even simple moments feel meaningful. Biscuits would thrive with someone who appreciates a devoted shadow, a steady walking buddy, and a dog who gives his whole heart without hesitation. He's ready to be someone’s best friend, couch companion, and everyday joy. If you’re looking for a big, beautiful retriever mix with an even bigger heart—and a story that makes his love feel even more special—Biscuits is ready to meet you and begin his next chapter.
