Georgia is a gem! 7 year old Golden Retriever/Lab mix, confident, she loves walks and running around the yard exploring. No other dogs for Georgia as she doesn't like to share her food and treats. We are looking for a cozy home with a fenced in yard for Georgia who will show her understanding and kindness. We are helping Georgia with some medical needs that include the start of a weight loss journey, continued treatment for skin allergies, ear infections, renal disease which is maintained by diet, and some other issues that can be addressed after some weight loss and chill time. Despite everything, Georgia is a love.

And honestly? She’s the whole package. Her foster says Zoey is smart, eager to please, friendly, and just an all-around wonderful dog. She walks beautifully on leash, is crate-trained, and has the kind of easygoing, loving personality that makes you wonder why she’s still looking.

Zoey isn’t asking for much—just someone to love her the way she loves. Could that be you?

Zoey is spayed, microchipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccines. Her adoption donation is $600.

Compared with her more outgoing brother, Sabrina is a little more docile and submissive. She may take a moment to settle in, but once she feels comfortable, her playful puppy side shines through. She has those gorgeous long legs and is expected to grow into a tall, large girl, so she will need a home ready to welcome a big dog with an even bigger heart.

Sabrina is already making wonderful progress:

• She is nearly fully kennel-trained and having fewer accidents every day

• She is highly motivated by treats and food, making her a wonderful student

• She is smart, eager to learn, and catching on quickly to home life

• She loves the chance to move, explore, and stretch those long legs

• She is learning how to play more gently with smaller adult dogs

Like many young dogs, Sabrina can get a little bouncy when she is excited. The smaller dogs in her foster home are helping her understand that not everyone appreciates enthusiastic puppy energy—but she is being gently corrected and is learning to be more polite every day.

Sabrina would thrive with a patient family who can continue her training, give her structure and encouragement, and provide room for her to gallop, sniff, explore, and simply enjoy being a dog. She has come so far already, and we know her best days are still ahead.

Could Sabrina be the sweet, silly, smart girl your family has been waiting for?

Sabrina is fixed, micro-chipped, and up to date on her puppy vaccines. Her adoption donation is $6
