Story

Marley is an almost 8-year-old neutered male Golden Retriever with a big heart, a goofy personality, and lots of love to give. He’s a sweet, expressive boy who has made great progress settling into his home and continues to show how adaptable and resilient he is. Marley has a history of resource guarding around food and clearly communicates when he feels unsure. With patience, consistency, and thoughtful management, he can be redirected and supported through moments of hyperarousal. Building trust around food will take time, but Marley is responsive and trying hard. He gets along well with other dogs as long as food is not involved and could potentially live with another dog in a patient, attentive home with clear boundaries around feeding and high-value items. Marley loves winter adventures—running in the snow, hanging out during backyard sauna sessions, cuddling by the fire, and enthusiastically participating in sledding (sometimes as an obstacle). He’s a skilled communicator who makes lots of endearing little noises and shows affection by proudly carrying toys or socks as “gifts.” He has most of his basic training down and would thrive in a home with space to roam, ideally somewhere he can run and explore. Marley is a goofy, loving companion who will deeply bond with the right person.

Story

Meet Mia (pronounced Mya)! Mia is a sweet, smart 10-month-old spayed female Golden Retriever/herding mix with a bright, curious spirit. She has classic Golden charm paired with the intelligence and drive of herding breeds. Mia does well with other dogs and loves romping and playing with the resident dog in her foster home. She can be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and bonds fast. Because she has shown some herding instincts, she would do best in a home with children 12 years and older. No cats, please. She is doing well with crate training and is still working on house training, so she’ll need supervision and consistency as she continues to learn. Like many young dogs, Mia must be watched closely so she doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t. Mia is medium to high energy and thrives when she stays busy and engaged. She loves going on walks, enjoys sniffing and exploring her neighborhood, and would be an excellent candidate for agility or dog sports. She’s very smart and eager to learn—she picked up sit, down, and stay in just a few days! As Mia continues to settle into foster care, her personality shines more each day. She’s proving to be a fun, intelligent, and athletic young dog with tons of potential, ready for an active home that can provide structure, exercise, and mental stimulation.

Story

FOSTER HOME NEEDED IN WISCONSIN ONLY: I’m super friendly, snuggly, and I LOVE getting pets and cuddles—but I’m also full of energy and love to play! Walks, fetch, snow adventures—you name it, I’m in. I do have a mischievous side… I’m a certified counter surfer and a bit of a toy and clothing thief. I love collecting my treasures and taking them to my bed, so I’m looking for a home with children over 12 who can help me learn boundaries and keep my “treasure hunting” in check. I’m great with other dogs and love saying hi and playing whenever I get the chance. I haven’t lived with a dog full-time yet, but I get along with everyone I meet and would love a furry friend to run and play with. I’m looking for a family that can keep up with my energy, enjoy fun adventures, and still have plenty of time for snuggles and quiet moments. I promise, I’ll give you all my love in return!

Story

Buster is a gorgeous Golden Retriever mix who is a young adult (about 2 years old). He lives with dogs of all sizes and gets along with everyone but he is dominant over food so I feed him separately. He also lives with cats and kittens and has never tried to chase them and doesn't really pay attention to them. He is low-to-medium energy in general but has the stamina to go on long hikes, etc. He is not a barker and not a jumper and not a bolter. He likes to be petted. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tacoma, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) - Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative). Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95
