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
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 #9118
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.
Baloo #9147 - adoption pending
Check out the face on this handsome guy! This tall, dark Golden named Baloo is a bit of a mystery to WAAGR's volunteers. Baloo came into WAA
 GR as a stray, and our best guess is he is 7 years old. We think that he had a hard life as an outdoor dog, along with some nasty skin issues. It's amazing what a trip to the vet, along with good nutrition, grooming and love will do!This 88 pound guy is now housetrained and loves the indoor life! We are working on his leash manners. He loves to ride in the car, tug toys and chewing on raw bones. Baloo is no stranger to tennis balls, and if you are busy, he will stand at your side to bounce and catch, bounce and catch until you can stop and play with him for a while! Baloo would do well as a single dog, or with a family familiar with multiple dog issues. Please no families with small dogs, cats, birds or kids under 12. Contact WAAGR to find out more about Baloo! Salty - #9151  Salty is a 9-year-old Golden Retriever looking for his forever home. Maybe it's with you? He is housebroken and his foster home said this is one well behaved Golden! He is approximately 55 pounds.
He is a bit shy, but very likeable. He wags his tail often and loves belly rubs! He is still a little wary of people when he is by himself. He really comes around playfully when in the company of an another dog. An item on Salty's wish list for his forever home would be another dog to play with. Salty likes to be outside and enjoys walks. A forever home with a fenced yard would be great, so he can run off some stream! Salty is updated on vaccinations and microchipped. Contact us to find out more about this great Golden! Andy - #9165 - adoption pendingAndy is a 2-3 year old male whose owner never showed up to claim him. Andy is a very happy guy who will do a tap dance for you whenever he gets excited! He has no issues with grown dogs, but will growl if puppies bother him too much. 
Apparently Andy must have been an outside dog, as he has no concept of hard floors. He is trying very hard to learn how to navigate them. He does a lot of slipping and sliding while he gets to the next rug, but it will come in time!
Andy likes to be with you, just sitting and hanging out, or going for a walk. These are things that make him happy. Tipper - #9143  Tipper is a 10-year-old male who came to WAAGR from the Columbia County Humane Society. The folks at the humane society said he was a very good boy and we have found out that he is!
In his foster home he has been a good boy who doesn't mind cats. His foster mom said he would probably would do best in a forever home where there was only 1 or 2 dogs. Tipper doesn't need to be crated and loves to be outside. If you don't mind, he also likes to sleep on furniture! Tipper is neutered, updated on shots and microchipped. Contact WAAGR to find out more about this great Golden!
Barney - #9159
 Barney is a 6-year-old male Golden mix who is around 54 pounds. Barney loves to play with toys and can entertain himself. He also settles down easily to cozy up next to you!Barney needs a person with loving patience to do some additional training with socialization with other dogs (they're scary sometimes)! He rides well in the car and enjoys spending time in his kennel; however, the kennel is really not needed. He is a sweet, people-focused guy who really likes attention. It is not known if he would do well with cats. His focus on people makes him very loyal and a big sweetie. All he needs is a quiet home that will make him feel secure. A fenced yard will allow him to run around safely. Barney walks nicely on a leash. For his forever home wish list: a place where he is the only dog and no young children. He would prefer a quiet place! Barney is updated on shots, neutered and microchipped. Contact WAAGR to find out more! 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! Boo - #901 Boo is a 2-year-old male who is being returned to WAAGR  because his family now has two little ones and can't give Boo the time he deserves. Boo loves people and would prefer to be a lap dog, but it seems all the large breed dogs think they are lap dogs!
Boo loves to swim, play, walk and run. Kids of any age can crawl all over him, since he loves to cuddle. Boo is looking for a home that has lots of time to devote to him, and of course lots of cuddling time! Boo is updated on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. A weight loss plan should also be considered for this loveable guy! Contact WAAGR to find out more! Ernie - #9154 I used to be afraid of things, but now I just take them in stride. I am afraid to be crated since I lived in a kennel all day and night, so crating isn't a good option for me. I never destroy anything if I am just left alone. I am very trustworthy. I am a mellow loving dog who needs a forever home. I will make a lucky family a great dog. I am micro chipped, have all of my vaccinations and am ready to go to my forever home. Contact WAAGR to find out more about me! |

My name is Ernie and I am a one year old male Golden Retriever who weighs about 45 pounds. I have light, sandy-colored hair. I love attention and I'm very affectionate. I am happy to entertain myself or to play with other dogs, or just give you love or lay by you. I love toys and love to toss them in the air and catch them. Once in a while I will chew one up-whoops! I am also good at chasing and catching my tail. I love to follow the birds as they fly across the yard. As you may have guessed, I just love to play!
