Bolt
Bolt - Adopt me!
Hi everyone, I'm Bolt!
I'm a 9-year-old neutered Golden Retriever looking for a new family to share life's adventures with. I weigh about 90 pounds and could stand to lose a few, so I'd love a family that enjoys walks as much as I do - I walk beautifully on a leash!
I'm a friendly guy who gets along with just about everyone. Dogs, cats, and people are all friends in my book. In fact, while I've been staying with my neighbor, I've become best buddies with their 5 yr old German Shepherd and I love roughhousing and playing with him. If you already have a dog looking for a playmate, I might be the perfect fit.
One of my favorite things to do is give hugs on command! Since I weigh in at 90 pounds and dont always realize how big I am when sharing my love, I'd probably be happiest in a home without family members who could be knocked off balance by one of my enthusiastic hugs.
My story is a sad one. My owner loved me very much and took wonderful care of me. About nine months ago, I was left with our neighbor "temporarily" while he went to get medical treatment. Sadly, we later learned that my owner had passed away and was never able to come back for me. Our neighbor has been caring for me ever since and is now hoping to find me the loving forever home that my owner would have wanted for me. One small request for my future family: I am allergic to chicken, so I will need a high quality food.
I've known what it feels like to be loved, and I have so much love left to give. I'm looking for a family who will make me part of their lives, take me on walks, include me in their adventures, and give me a soft place to rest my head at the end of the day.

Mufasa
Mufasa - Adopt me!
I'm a 2-year-old, full size Doodle, and everyone tells me I'm the absolute sweetest boy (and super cute too!) When I arrived at Miami-Dade Animal Services underweight, they immediately saw how special I was and contacted Golden Rescue South Florida to help find my perfect match.
I'm a total lover who is great with dogs and children. I walk nicely on a leash (I only pull a little bit), know my commands, sleep quietly through the night. I have been vetted but am not yet neutered.
My favorite thing in the world - besides people - is my ball! Yep, I love, love, did I say love? my ball and playing fetch. I am still young, playful, and ready for adventure. My perfect family will be active, include me in their lives, and enjoy spending lots of time with me.
I may be sensitive to grains, but my foster family says I'm doing wonderfully on salmon, rice, and sweet potato food - it is helping me gain weight.
Everyone who meets me falls in love!
Did I mention I LOVE playing fetch and running around? An active family is the one for me!

Yogi
Hi I'm Yogi!
I'm an 8-year-old, 80-pound Standard Goldendoodle, and if you're looking for a big, goofy best friend with a heart of gold, I might be your guy!
I absolutely love everyone I meet, whether they're people or dogs, big or small. My tail starts wagging the moment I see a new friend. I'm a social butterfly who enjoys being part of the family and spending time with my favorite humans.
My family has had to return to working outside the home, and I've realized that being alone for long periods of time just isn't for me. I also get really scared during thunderstorms, so I'm hoping to find a loving home where someone can be by my side when the weather gets scary.
I'm the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. I enjoy running around the backyard, exploring new places, and visiting the dog park. One of my favorite activities is chasing lizards when I spot them darting by! But don't worry, I'm not all action. I also love lounging around the house, hanging out with my people, and soaking up belly rubs.
The good news? I'm already a well-mannered gentleman. I'm:
-
Potty trained
-
Neutered
-
Up to date on all my shots
-
Great with dogs of all sizes
-
Friendly with everyone I meet
I have a medium energy level, so I don't need nonstop activity. A little exercise, some playtime, and plenty of love are all I ask for.

Cooper
FOUND
Hi my name is Cooper. I was found wandering a busy street in West Kendall on July 7th when a kind family took me in to make sure I was safe.
Thanks to my microchip, GRSF learned that my name is Cooper and that I am a miniature Golden Retriever born on December 1, 2016. I weigh 38 pounds
GRSF has been trying to contact my owners through the information linked to my microchip, but they don’t know if the messages are getting through or if my family simply no longer wants me…. While the search continues, I am safe with GRSF and my awesome foster family says I’m a sweet, relaxed boy who is house trained and good with other dogs and children.
As sad as it is…..if my family no longer wants me, I will need a new home. GRSF told me not to worry – my Angel is out there, and they will help us find each other. Everyone knows seniors are the best - and this senior comes in the perfect size (if I may say so myself).
If you recognize Cooper or think you may be interested in adopting him if he becomes available, please find our contact info below.

Ralph
Ralph- Adopt Me!
Hi, Im Ralph, a handsome 3-year-old doodle looking for a family of my very own!
I'm the perfect combination of playful and affectionate. I absolutely love playing fetch, and when I'm done burning off some energy, I'm happiest cuddled up next to my favorite people, but give me some time and patience, and I'll reward you with endless love and loyalty. Once I trust you, I'm a total sweetheart!
I'm a well-trained boy and already know how to come, sit, and place. I also enjoy other dogs and a dog friend in my new home would be a huge plus!
I'm looking for an adopter who understands that dogs like me thrive with consistent structure, exercise, and continued training.
If you would like to meet me, I am in Port St Lucie with my paw some trainer, Amanda!

Duky
Duky- Adopt Me!
Hi, I’m Dukey! I’m a handsome, chill, independent guy who loves affection and being close to my person. I’m about 4 years old and neutered.
I don’t know how I ended up at Miami-Dade Animal Services, but the rescue said, “No way - that’s no place for a Golden at Heart!” So, they brought me to safety and promised that better days were ahead. GRSF made sure I received the training and support I needed, and I’m currently living with my wonderful trainer. I’ve learned so much and have been very well cared for—but now it’s time. It’s my turn to have a family and a home of my own.
I’m happiest relaxing beside you, soaking up the sunshine, and quietly enjoying life. I’m basically a “let me do my own thing—but please don’t forget to love on me” kind of guy. I’m fine around calm dogs and respectful children who understand that I don’t always want to play. A busy household with active dogs or children who constantly want to engage probably wouldn’t make me happiest. I’m not looking for nonstop excitement—I’m looking for a family and household that match my peaceful personality.
A fenced yard would be wonderful because I love strolling around, exploring, and relaxing outside. Walks are great too, but I would really love the freedom to enjoy a yard.
I’ve waited long enough. It’s my time to be loved. Could you finally give me the forever home I’ve been waiting for? Or maybe you could foster me? Living with my trainer has been so helpful, but it isn’t as quiet as I would like. I’m ready for a real home where I can relax and be the center of someone’s world. You will be the center of mine.

Sophie & Chloe
Sophie and Chloe- Adopt Me!
Hi everyone...we're Sophie (8) and Chloe (9), sisters from the same parents-just a year apart-and lifelong best friends. We've grown up side by side and can't imagine life without each other.
You can tell us apart because Chloe is the darker one, but otherwise we're pretty much a perfect pair.
We're the definition of easy, loving companions. We adore everyone-kids, dogs, cats-you name it! If there's a cozy spot or a friendly face, we're right there. We're gentle, affectionate, and just love being part of a family.
Our lives recently changed when our mom had to suddenly move into assisted living due to memory issues. It broke her heart to leave us, and her only wish is to find us a safe, loving home-together-where we'll continue to be cherished.
We'll be honest..we've been a little spoiled with treats so we could benefit from a healthier routine and a few extra walks. We're good on a leash and located in West Palm Beach.
If you have room in your heart and home for two incredibly sweet, easygoing girls, we promise to bring you double the love, comfort, and companionship.

Denver
Denver - Adoption in Progress!!!
Hi, I'm Denver, a 5 and a half year old male doodle with a big heart and a hopeful spirit. I suffered a back injury that's made walking a little harder for me, but I'm working hard every day to get stronger and back on all four paws.
Right now, I'm putting weight on one of my back legs, and with weekly rehab therapy, I'm expected to keep improving so my fourth leg can fully bear weight again. I'm already making progress - I just need a patient, loving person to help me finish my journey to being 100%.
I'm looking for a foster or adopter who lives near a rehab center, preferably in or around:
Davie
Oakland Park
South Miami
Boynton Beach
Golden Rescue will cover the cost of my rehab therapy - I just need help getting to my weekly appointments so I can continue healing and growing stronger.
The good news? I'm fully potty trained, very gentle, and have a calm, loving personality. I'm an easy companion who just needs a little patience and understanding while I complete my recovery.
If you have space in your home - and your heart - to help me during this chapter, please consider fostering or adopting me. Helping me heal would truly change my life, and I promise to repay you with endless love and gratitude.
