WYATT

I'M ON TRIAL

Wyatt is a 3.5 year old golden. He is very affectionate and would love nothing more than to get loved on and be your shadow. He like most goldens has to bring you something when he greets you. If he cant find a toy he will just bring you his tail. He would do best in a home with no other dogs or children. 

KENAI

Chole is an 9 yr old yellow lab.  She is very mellow and loves to just hang out with the family. She is well mannered and will make a great addition to someones family.  She has spent just about all of her life living with children.

HOUSTON

I'M ADOPTED

Houston is a 2 years old Golden Retriever.  He has a very  sweet disposition and the exuberance of a true golden.  He is kind with kids and other dogs.  He is good on and off leash. He sticks close on walks and comes when called. He has good basic obedience, including a good start to a stay command.  He can  be left free in the house, but will kennel if asked.  He chews appropriate toys and likes to carry things in his mouth. Houston is a coddler and likes nothing better than throwing himself at your side on the couch!

Sasha is a seven-year-old pure Chocolate Lab.  She is full of energy and in great shape. She loves to be with people and has wonderful house manners. Sasha is looking for home where she will be the only dog in the house.  She unfortunately does not do well being around other dogs.  We know there is that special home that will love her for who she is.

 

 

MIA

I'M ADOPTED

Mia is a seven-year-old Lab/Dalmatian mix. She is small, weighing around 40 lbs. She has no health issues. She is very affectionate and enjoys nothing more than a snuggle on the couch.  She gets along well with other dogs, but is way too interested in cats, so a home without one might be best. She is extremely tolerant of  “lots of love” from children and would be a great family pet. She is completely housetrained and will signal a need to go outside.  She is truly low maintenance.  A fenced yard would be best unless her “forever family” is outside with her as she does have a tendency to wander off to visit the neighborhood.

CHARLIE

I'M ADOPTED

Charlie is a big hearted black lab in a pint size package.  He is one and a half years old and only weighs about 50lbs.  He is great with kids, other dogs, anything.  He is easy going and a little heart stealer.  He has been recovering from some major pelvis surgery a few months back; consequently he has a little hitch in his gitty-up but doesn't miss a beat or a treat! 

 

SARGE

I'M ADOPTED

9 week old lab/husky mix.

HANK

I'M ADOPTED

Hank is a wonderful 4yr old golden.  Playful, happy, calm and silly.  Loves to roll around on his ball and go for walks in the woods.  Hank loves the snow!  He is calm in the house, doesn’t chew or get into things.  He would prefer to be the only dog in the family as he does not do well living with other dogs. He is totally devoted to humans.  Hank loves to go with and would be great for someone who needs a buddy 24/7.

I am back and available.  Hunter is a almost 5 yrs old, neutered male, gorgeous yellow Lab and a GRRF return.  My foster mom calls me the “lovable lunkhead.”  I am a large, strong,  full tilt lab, but not a spazz or crazy lab.  I’m a sensitive guy, looking for someone to snuggle with on the couch.  I am an outdoorsy kind of guy.  I love camping, trotting along side a four wheeler, long walks in the woods and chasing the ball.  I could chase the ball for hours!  As excited as I get about the ball I have great house manners and settle nicely.  I am good with kids and wouldn’t hurt anyone. I am NOT good with cats.  I would like to chase them forever. I am comfortable riding in pick-up trucks.  In other vehicles I am get a little excited .  I am a lot of fun and can be pretty silly, comical and entertaining.

He doesn’t need  to be crated and can be trusted alone at home all day.   Butter would make a great companion for someone who just wants to hang out with a dog friend.

MOOSE

I'M ADOPTED!!

Moose is a 1 year old Lab/Newfie cross.  He is big, kind and gentle.  He came to GRRF because his original owners were moving out of state and they gave him to some friends.  He had an injury to his femoral head that damaged his growth plate and his other hip was dysplastic.  He was is pain and very lame on the injured leg.  The new family could not take on the extra medical expense.  GRRF took Moose to see Dr. Stuve and Dr. Cole at Aurora Animal Clinic where Dr. Cole preformed a bilateral FHO.  Moose recovered quickly and went to rehab in fostercare.  His surgery was at the end of Nov 2011.  Moose is now almost fully recovered.  He is exceptionally kind and easy going.  He is pain free and can run and play.  Moose would make and excellent therapy dog!!

PACHO

I'M ADOPTED

Pacho is a very young and healthy 10 year old, purebred, neutered male, Golden Retriever.  He was relinquished to the local animal shelter because he got into the neighbors trash and was vomiting and had diarrhea.  The shelter got him the veterinary attention he needed and he was better within days.  Now all better, Pacho is an exceptional Golden.  He is in great health and perfect with other dogs, children and cats.  He is a big, love with great manners.

MOE

I'M ADOPTED!!

Maggie and Moe are 15 month old siblings.  They look like Border Collies but the Dad was a purebred Springer Spaniel and the Mom is a rough coated Collie (Lassie type).  The owner has the parents and kept these too from a litter of 11.  Now they are worried that they do not have enough time and attention to give to Maggie and Moe.  Both dogs are spayed and neutered and their hips have been x-rayed and look great.  They are very sweet natured and smart.  They love kids and get along well with other pets.  They can be adopted separately or together.  Maggie likes to "talk" when excited but is the snuggler of the two.  Moe is quiet and can be more shy but very endearing.  They are beautiful!

MAGGIE

I'M ADOPTED

SADIE 11

I'M ADOPTED!!

Sadie is a 7 year young, spayed female black lab. She was relinquished by her owner who had for a few years.  Sadie is very good with children, cats and other dogs.  She is calm and adoring.  She has had a complete vet check done to include bloodwork for her thyroid.  He coat is dry (but shiny) and she is slightly overweight.  Her old owner did a great job getting her weight down from 107 to 85.  Her bloodwork is pending but if she needs thyroid supplements, they are very inexpensive.  Sadie is a "love" of a lab!!  So kind!

SEAMUS

I'M ADOPTED!!

Seamus is a 4 1/2 year old, Lab/Border Collie mix. He looks like a Lab with a Tuxedo on!  Seamus has comes with lots of "bells and whistles", he is very obedient and great in the house.  He is used to a crate or can be trusted loose too.  He has excellent recall and is extremely smart. Seamus is very loyal and adoring.  His one "quirk" is that when he is done with love and attention he will give a light growl to say thanks but I am all done. For that he would be best with older children.  He gets along with most dogs very well and loves to play.  This is a GREAT DOG!

CHARLIE BROWN

I'M ADOPTED!!

Charlie is a little 50 pound lab mix.  We suspect Springer Spaniel.  He looks like a little chocolate lab with a white blaze on his chest and a 3/4 tail.  Charlie was left in the shelter cages.  He was very afraid and didn't show himself well at the shelter.  The shelter animal tender called GRRF to see if he would do better in foster care and he did.  The shelter did a great job seeing the potential in Charlie.  He was a different dog in a home.  Charlie is extremely loving and well mannered.  He knows basic commands and is good with other dogs, kids and cats.

CHANCE

I'M ADOPTED!!

Chance is a 7 year young, neutered Golden Retriever.  He is big, tall golden at 107 pounds.  He is slightly overweight but really just a big dog.  He is comical in his nature and he gets along well with other dogs.  His owner was working very long shifts and just wasn't home enough for him.  Chance has had a complete vet check done and he is in amazing shape. His owner took very good care of him. They got him from a breeder as a pup so he has had only one home.  He is getting long, off leash walks daily with his foster mom and he loves it. Funny golden with personality!

BRONX

I'M ADOPTED!!

Bronx is a 10 month old, neutered male, black Lab mix.  He is a smaller size lab is a very sweet natured.  He is still a pup so he needs structure and patience.  He loves other dogs and is learning his basic commands in foster care with a positive reenforcement dog trainer.  Bronx is doing great!  He was relinquished to the shelter because the family didn't realized how much time and energy it takes to raise a silly, fun loving little lab that likes to dig up the neighbors flowers. :)
