Adopt Me! Please note: The goal of WAAGR is to match Goldens with their forever families. If you are interested in adopting a Golden through WAAGR, please return to the previous Adopt Me! page. There you will find out more information on adopting, including the adoption application. Below are some of the dogs that are currently in the WAAGR Adoption Program.
Lacey-
#8120 Lacey has made amazing progress in the last 11 months. We have lost the terrified animal who came to us and a whole new dog has come out. Lacey will now very willingly come up to greet new people and ask for attention, even men. She has taught herself to run up and down a flight of stairs and in the last month has been initiating play with the other dogs in her foster home. She still isn't into toys, but she loves her treats and takes them very gently. Lacey's needs are simple: She just wants to hang out with you, have some free time in a fenced yard and loves to ride in the car! She has been out to the farm where her foster mom boards her horse, off leash, and loves to go exploring. She doesn't wander too far and when she gets tired, she jumps back into the car!
Lacey
has been
around
the
horses,
chickens,
cats,
and
nothing
much
phases
her.
She
certainly
isn't
high
prey
drive.
She
doesn't
care
much
about
being
walked
on
leash,
probably
because
she
feels
she may
be
pulled
off
balance.
She will
stay
with you
off
leash,
but will
need to
be in a
safe
area.
Her
foster
mom
wouldn't
do this
in an
area
with
traffic
anywhere
near.
Lacey
has no
medical
issues
and has
no
physical
restrictions.
She has
learned
to
function
extremely
well on
three
legs. It
certainly
doesn't
bother
her, and
she
doesn't
want to
be
smothered
or
coddled. Contact WAAGR to find out more about this gem of a Golden! She would love to find her new home for the holidays.
Clancey - #946 Clancey is an 8 to 9-year-old Golden who came to us as a stray from northern Wisconsin. He is one happy guy! He gets along great with the other dogs in his foster home. He loves to express his feelings by barking. He does pull on a leash, but we are working with him on that! Since Clancey was on his own for a while, he will get the full doggy spa treatment while he's with us. He will also be neutered and get his teeth cleaned. He will be ready for adoption around April 28. Because he is a stray he can't go to a family with kids under 12. If you would like to find out more about Clancey, contact WAAGR today. There are many great reasons to adopt an older golden. Click here to read all about those reasons! Angie - #9114 - Angie is a 8-year-old female Golden mix who is a very nice dog! She is updated on all vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. She is waiting for her forever home and hopes it is with YOU! Here is a note from Angie herself!
I have a very BIG smile and beautiful brown eyes. I love to play catch. Being an only dog in my forever home would be perfect or maybe another older dog would be OK. Active doggies? PLEASE...I am past that stage! If you do daily walks and need a walking buddy, and would like a friend to sleep by your bed at night, I would love to meet you!
Sierra is a 6 year old angel. Funny, smart, and affectionate, this sweet girl is a dream.
Sierra came into WAAGR very overweight with a long list of medical issues. In the last 4 months, she has lost 20 pounds, and we have corrected every problem on the list except for her hips. But with the weight loss, premium diet, joint supplements and exercise, Sierra can now do what was impossible for her just months ago. Sierra can now go up and down stairs, get into the van, go for walks and loves to get up on the futon for some one-on-one cuddle time. Sierra doesn't need to be crate and is very trustworthy home alone. She's housetrained, loves her soft stuffed toys and rolling in the snow. This adorable girl is growing a new beautiful coat to replace the one that was shaved off before she came to us and she's getting prettier every day.
She's a perfect companion for an older home, and a real friend for life! Contact WAAGR to find out more about Sierra.
Banjo - #9161 Well I’ll go ahead & state the obvious: I’m not a golden, but thankfully, my golden locks saved me from a one-way trip across the “Rainbow Bridge!" Like any youngster, A LOT of patience, training in basic manners & plenty of exercise will earn me that “Dog of the Year” trophy. I am a one year old guy!
For those looking for a puppy & all of the joys that go with it, from potty training to crate training and leash training, you can go ahead & stop your search! I promise not to disappoint! Since he has been in foster care he has learned to sit and is working on the “off” command. He is updated on vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. Contact WAAGR to find out more about Banjo! Ashleigh - #1010 WAAGR was contacted to help Ashleigh, an 8-year-old puppy Besides being a bit hand shy, you wouldn't be able to tell this girl came from a puppy mill. She plays awesome with the other dogs in her foster home and is having fun being a dog! Her foster mom said that a forever home with at least one another dog would be great. She's also working hard to learn her name. A forever home with a fenced yard also would be ideal for her, as would a home with someone that has patience to help Ashleigh become comfortable and learn more about being a dog! A few more things to know about Ashleigh: She doesn't need to be kenneled and is not possessive. She enjoys initiating play with the other dogs in her foster home. She's a little nervous around kids, but given her background, it will just take some time to get comfortable. She's spayed, updated on shots and microchipped. Contact WAAGR to find out more about this great girl! Dewey - #1019 Dewey knows his name and knows how to sit. He is VERY willing to learn and easy to teach. He gets along with dogs, but hasn't been tested with cats. Dewey would do well in any type of home and kids of any age would be fine for Dewey. His foster mom would love to see him go to obedience class, as she thinks he's ready to learn and would finish at the top of his class! Dewey is very curious about everything, and would love to have an active family in his forever home. Dewey is updated on shots, neutered and microchipped. Contact WAAGR to find out more! |
