Winter, at 9 weeks of age, was just too much for his original family. At least they came to their senses quickly and realized he needed to be with a family that could take the time and had the energy to handle a young puppy. We placed him immediately with an adoptive couple, who pronounced him “the absolute best” and have renamed him Harley. They have written to tell us how he is fitting in with their family:

We both believe Goldens do best in pairs. We also thought we had a loving home to offer another pet. So, I signed up for a rescue dog. I didn’t for a minute believe we would get the type of dog that I thought we needed! I wanted a puppy that wouldn’t ‘take over’ from Sundance. So we waited for a male puppy, not more than a year old. Imagine my surprise when I received the phone call about a 9-week-old English Cream who needed a good home that night! The rest, as they say, is history! Our bundle of joy, Harley, arrived and he has the rule of the house. Sweet and loving and yes, a lot of work as puppies are, but we could not be more thrilled. Sundance adores him and looks just like him! They play on our grass every morning (at 5 AM!) chasing each other around with a sock in their mouths. Sundance is enjoying his role as ‘the big brother’ and is enjoying his companion. What a fabulous experience this has been for us as a family. Arizona Golden Rescue is an incredible organization. The professionalism that we encountered at every aspect of the adoption has been phenomenal. From the home evaluation to the drop-off of Harley, to all of the check-in phone calls along the way, we are extremely impressed. We are happy to say that we are now a part of this organization and hope to assist others in finding their perfect pets!
