Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Bessemer City, North Carolina

My name is Milo Magoo and I am a 3 year old Golden Doodle with a birthday that is coming in the next few days… to turn 3 yrs. old.  I weigh 80 pounds and I am looking for an attentive and dog training family that will really shape and polish me to be the spectacular dog that I have the potential to be.  My current family really has no time to work with me to shape me in to a dog with great manners and emotional control.   I am bored in this home and I need physical and mental stimulation and fun challenges to do.  I am very happy, sweet, and very active with running and playing.  I am a male that is ALL BOY and if I had my wish I would say to adopt me if you have a girl dog in the family.   I would love to have a girlfriend for life!  When I am bored my favorite, yet dangerous, thing to do is eat socks.  So please watch that if you take me home.  It is totally out of boredom.   Critter Cavalry Rescue is tryng to change all this by placing me in the right home that they will review closely.   I am a silver tawny coloring and people just ohhhhh and ahhhhh over the color of my coat of  hair.  If you would like to adopt me please email right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Mention in the email where you live!!!   That helps so much too.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Morri is an incredible dog, smart, sweet, and full of personality! We welcomed her into our lives in January 2024 after adopting her from a farm in South Carolina, and she's been cherished ever since. Nearly a year old now, she is brimming with energy, always ready to play, and eager for new adventures. Her mother was a German Shepherd, and her father was a Golden Retriever. Morri is a high-drive, working-mentality dog who thrives with structure and activity. She's fully potty trained, house trained, and crate trained, and has mastered an impressive range of commands. We have invested a lot of time and care into her training, and she truly shines. Sadly, due to increasing work tempo and travel, we're facing the difficult decision to rehome her. Morri needs a loving, active owner/family who can match her energy and dedication to her training. Her ideal home would be with someone committed to giving her a fulfilling healthy life, rich with activity and love.

Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home.  Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion. A note to those looking at CPR.  We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone.  Our job is to find those someone's.  Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog.  They come to us because they want to give a dog a home.  We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture.  While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face.  Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home.  We want to create furever families.  Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today.  We'll update as more information is known.  Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days?  If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application.  You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side.  You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available.  Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes?  Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team   Date into Rescue: 2/16/2022, adopted but returned in 2023 Reason for being in rescue: hoarding breeder/ busted by animal control and dogs seized Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Starla is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Starla was treated under eye care specialists at UGA. She had cataract surgery with a lens implant on her left eye. She had cataract surgery with no lens impact on her right eye. Starla has responded beautifully to her cataract surgery and is a different dog with her vision restored.  However, please note that while her vision is much better than before (she no longer bumps into things) we don’t think she is 20/20. Starla is currently on an ongoing eye medication. She is given one small dot (it’s a jelly substance) in each eye three times a week of a simple neo-poly-dex (antibiotic with mild steroid).  At 1800petmeds, it is $19.99 for a tube and the tube lasts about 6 weeks.   Weight: 45 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless Fence needed? Yes, a physically fenced yard that is secure is non-negotiable for Starla.  She cannot walk on a leash.  She will not walk on a leash.  She will run if given the slightest opportunity.  In her fenced yard she is happy and readily to her caregiver.  Without the security of the fence she would not.  Starla got out once before her vision was repaired.  We finally trapped her in a creek bed with high sides so she could not get out.   What kind of home would be best for me? We are seeking a home with an experienced puppy mill rehabber, most likely someone who loves the golden breed and who has patience and time. We also think her new home must be female - Starla does not trust men. She is not real sure about many women, either.  Please understand that at her age, Starla is never going to be the shining, bouncing, gregarious golden that she should be.  Her personality was molded and shaped in an environment she should never have had to live in - too many dogs, not enough space and vision impaired so she had to find her way through sight and nose only.  Starla has dog buddies here but she really does not need another dog.  She needs a patient person.  She had one caregiver who she thought was perfection.  The rest of us are accepted but not loved.  However, that caregiver has moved on and Starla now has no one. Her home must have a fenced in yard that is secure without exception.   We strongly recommend a GPS tracking collar because if she ever gets out until she bonds to you, she is going to run.  Once she bonds to you and makes you her person, things will be different.  She may play and bounce if she gets out of the fence, but the one time it happened to us, she finally came back when she realized play was over and her caregiver was seriously worried.   What is my personality like? Starla is a product of places that sell puppies on line and the mother that is living back in hell at those places.  She will never be a normal dog.  She will always be shut down and fearful.  She accepted one person here and I think, with time, she will accept another calm, loving female owner.  She won't be the one who gives you kisses, begs for car rides and leash walks but she is a living soul and she deserves a life. Starla will be up for adoption through January.  She is also joining our SOS program as one of the soul sisters.  Look for her soon on our sanctuary page.  Starla enjoys her crate but doesn’t like to be locked in it. She prefers the door open.  She walks okay on a leash with someone she trusts.  Surprisingly, when she was at UGA for cataract surgery, she opened up a good bit especially with leash walks.  Starla does not like change - probably the result of her early visual impairment.  She does not want you to move the furniture and especially not her crate.  Her room is room and it’s supposed to stay put.   How do I act when I first meet new people? Shy at first.  She won’t warm up until she trusts you and that could take months.   Other tips and tidbits: Starla is estimated at closing in on her first decade. We celebrate her birthday as 2/11/2014. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Please note - we do not ship dogs.  If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip.  Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.   To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application. Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home.   You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc.  Others here may be a better fit for you.  It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description.  Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a  dog not in our listings yet.  We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you. Thank you for considering CPR. November 5, 2024, 5:31 pm

Pocahontas is up to date on vaccines for her age. Pocahontas is a golden doodle. We will never guarantee that a doodle is hypoallergenic or that they won't shed. If you have allergy concerns, Pocahontas is not your dog. As you see in her photos, Pocahontas has extensive scarring on her forehead and the bridge of her nose. We do not know from what. Our vet noted that there is "no likelihood" of hair regrowth. Hey - scars are cool! Weight: 26 lbs and growing - we expect Pocahontas will be between 40-45 lbs when full grown Height: 14in and growing - we expect Pocahontas will be between 22-24 in when full grown Spayed/Neutered: Based on her age and growth estimate, Pocahontas is not spayed. She will be adopted on a contract that requires you to spay her at your cost within 9 months and provide proof of spay. Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes, Pocahontas requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically. What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! While our ideal home for puppies has another young dog in it, Pocahontas could be adopted to a home where she is the only dog as long as there is a solid plan for regular socialization a minimum of 4 times per week.  Socialization occurs when dogs are off leash and free to be themselves, unencumbered by human restraints (other than the fence that keeps them safely contained). Socialization times would be for instance, inviting a neighbor or friend over with their dog to play in your fenced yard or going to someone else’s home to play in their fence yard. Socialization time could be doggy daycare. Socialization time could be a group walk if you include a playtime at the end of it. Training classes do not always include socialization time. Some puppy classes do include a period of time at the end where the dogs can romp and play together. This would be perfectly acceptable. Time can also take place inside the home, it does not have to be an outdoor area, as long as the dogs are free to interact with each other without leashes or other restraints. When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!  What is my personality like? Are you looking to add some fun & adventure with a side of puppy love to your life - Meet Pocahontas! Pocahontas is all things puppy! Energetic, playful, and full of love and life! Pocahontas is a young girl who needs more experience, like all puppies do! She is very intelligent for her age is picking up onto commands very quickly! She will still need continued socialization. Pocahontas is very young and will need plenty of stimulation, mentally and physically. She is young, happy, and learning her way around life rather quickly! Her personality is sweet, submissive and oh so playful! She gets along well with all other dogs her size and would be suitable for any type of family! Who could say no to this adorable, fluffy face! How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly and eager to meet you! Other tips and tidbits: Pocahontas was born 6/8/2024  House trained?
