Joey is an 6 year old, dark gold male who was sadly surrendered to Rescue by his owner when she could no longer afford to care for him. Joey is reported to be great with children, cats, and other dogs. Although he has been mostly an outside dog, he has quickly learned to use the doggie door in his foster home and is enjoying being in the house when he wants. He is enjoying the company of his Golden foster sisters.

Joey is absolutely WONDERFUL! He is such a playful dog with our other Goldens and he will fit in to any household. (Although it may take an adjustment period, he will learn FAST!!) He LOVES other Goldens, so I would recommend he be in a house with other dogs; he uses the doggie door, LOVES affection, and will ADORE his owners! I have nothing negative to say about Joey! Oh, he LOVES to swim, and loves to eat, (he is NOT overweight) and loves people, and, did I mention, loves other dogs?! It doesn't get any better than this!

Joey experienced some mild seizures when he arrived at Rescue. Since he was started on his medication he has had no further seizures.

Does it Cost Anything to Adopt a Golden?

Your adoption fee helps save homeless Golden Retrievers and place them in new loving homes. We are a nonprofit 501(C)(3) corporation run entirely by volunteers and funded by your contributions.

Prior to arriving at Rescue, all new Goldens get a trip to our veterinarian for complete checkups, required immunizations, heart worm tests/treatments, spaying or neutering (if necessary), and any medications prescribed by our vet. Adoption fees cover vet costs and pay for food, care, and "lodging" while staying at the Rescue Inn.
