Story

Sadie is a great pup. We took her in from someone who had recently lost her husband and "Sadie was his dog." We've had her for two years. We have two young kids who aren't the quietest.. and we've noticed Sadie has bad anxiety where she can't tolerate loud noises. We also aren't home enough to help with her anxiety.. Basically what we're looking for is someone who can be home with her and tend to her needs, take her on walks and just love her as much as we love her. We hate to have her go, but it just isn't the right home for her.

Story

Sadie is a great doggy! She's I believe 8 years old now. We took her in 2 years ago from a friend of the original owner who had passed away. We have two kids, and at first, she was great with the kiddos! Played fetch with them, cuddled, and everything! Then, we started noticing she has really bad anxiety.. didn't do too well being home by herself. She didn't make any messes or tear up the house other than destroying the blinds. We aren't home much to tend to her with our busy schedules, and it isn't fair to her. Basically we ask that someone take her in and love her wholeheartedly.

Huxley

Golden Retriever Bernese Mountain Dog

Story

We got Huxley from friends who had an accidental litter of pups. His mother is a golden mountain dog and his father is a golden doodle. We were not prepared for such a large dog as we thought he would be only near 45-50 pounds. He is near 100. We also thought he would be hypoallergenic because of the poodle and he is not. He is a sweet and gentle dog, and LOVES KIDS, but has LOTS of energy that he needs to work off psychologically as well as physically. We both work full time and we have come to realize that we are probably not the best home for him in order for him to be his happiest. We recently moved and our new place is even less comfortable for him to thrive. He needs at least 2 walks a day if he does not have a very large yard and needs lots of attention. We don’t think he is getting what he needs in our home. We are not in a huge hurry, we are willing to wait till just the right family comes along.

Story

We adopted Bambi on May 16, 2024 when he was about 5 months old (his birthday is mid December of 2023). He escaped his previous owner’s yard twice. The first time the previous owner paid the retrieval fee but the second time they let him go up for adoption. He is very high energy, he loves water, he enjoys begin outside, and very social and friendly with other dogs. He was house trained when we got him, and warmed up to us immediately. My work schedule has been become demanding and with him being so high energy, I do not have the ability to take him on long walks and to the dog park as much as he needs. I am looking for a good home, hopefully one where at one person can work from home a couple times during the week. He gets squirrelly when left alone and I cannot support that need anymore. I have doggy beds, a crate, a ton of toys and everything he needs but looking for someone that can physically be there for him more. The adoption fee is to cover the site’s listing fee.

Story

EMERGENCY FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED – DENNY Central Point, Oregon (near Medford, OR) Denny is a young Golden Retriever who arrived from Korea just a few days ago and is in urgent need of a new foster or adopter due to a home mismatch (not a behavioral issue). 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. ##2601080##
