DONATIONS AND FOSTER NEEDED FOR AUDREY
Audrey is 7 years old and loves everything and everyone! She had an adopter lined up, but they changed their mind when Audrey tested positive for exposure to lymes. Now, Audrey also needs a surgery to remove a cancerous growth. Her rescue, For The Love of Paw Rescue, has helped AHGRR so much, & could really use some help with her medical expenses.....and would love to find Audrey a soft place to land after her surgery (which the vet thinks is not a big deal.....and with clean margins, the cancer will be considered CURED.) Audrey's rescuer thinks she is an exceptional dog......
You may make your donation to AHGRR, with the note that it's for Audrey and we will forward it to her rescuer. Or you may call in your donation to her veterinarians at Lost River Animal Hospital for Audrey over the phone. Any amount can be called in with credit card to Lost River Animal Hospital (304) 897-8288 and just tell them to credit Audrey's surgery.

Meet Atticus
COURTESY LISTING! Atticus is not an AHGRR dog, but his adoption fee will be donated to AHGRR

3 year old Atticus is a sweet ball of energy. Atticus loves everyone - but should be placed with female dogs only as he has a way of irritating the boys - and could potentially start a squabble. Atticus is 100% crate trained, mostly house trained, neutered, vaccinated with core vaccines, and heartworm negative and on preventative, He's a great little dog who is looking for a home through absolutely no fault of his own, If you would like to offer Atticus a home, please submit an application which you can find on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org)

Louise
2-3 year old Louise was found with Thelma - they obviously are comfortable with each other - and may be related. Louise is even more shy and submissive than Thelma. This sweet, sweet dog needs someone to take her out and introduce her to this big wonderful world we live in! Louise will see our veterinarians on the 19th and will be examined, tested, vaccinated, and spayed. If all goes well. she will be ready to leave us about a week after that - but she would like us to begin accepting applications for her now, You can find our application on our website (www,almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org)

19/04/2023

Thelma
ADOPTED
3-5 year old Thelma came to us from a rural shelter after she and Louise were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Thelma is super sweet, but it's obvious that she hasn't had a lot of socialization as she is a very shy - and very submissive girl. She is going to need an owner that will work with her and show her just how much fun being a dog can really be, Thelma will see our veterinarians on the 19th for a complete examination, heartworm test, vaccinations, and spay. If the docs find her healthy and fit as a fiddle - she should be ready to leave us within a week after that. Thelma would like you to submit your application now if you are interested in offering her a forever home. You can find our application on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org)

Goldie
9 year old Goldie's owner passed away 2 years ago. He loved her very much and a friend of his has been caring for her until recently. Golden is a wonderful dog - she is housebroken, spayed, loves everyone and everything, vaccines are current - but - - - she has a terrible dermatitis condition which we are currently treating - and hopefully will be able to get completely rid of. We have gotten all the itching, odor, and discomfort for Goldie under control - but she is still shedding some scales. She is so deserving of a home that we are willing to do a foster to adopt with Goldie - as long as the foster home uses our veterinarians ONLY - or uses others only with our written consent, If you are interested in offering this sweet, energetic lady a place in your home and heart, please submit an application which you can find on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org)

25/03/2023

Goldie on her way to AHGRR. She has some significant skin issues that will require further treatment and she will need a dental. Here is the initial vet bill. To donate via PayPal use [email protected]

Meet Sierra
12-14 month old Sierra is a very smart, very active, very creative dog. We know there is golden retriever in the mix, we are guessing Collie, border collie, or aussie may be the second contributor to her dna. This big dog needs to be active, needs brain stimulation (agility, herding classes anyone?), She wants to learn, she wants to please. We think Sierra's ideal home is with someone who is familiar with the needs of herding dogs, or can spend a lot of time with Sierra, inside, outside, and teaching, She is a big dog - though she has been easy for us to handle on leash, she could use more training. Sierra's ideal home would be with neutered male dogs to romp and play with (she does like some females, too) and with a large, safe (preference would be fenced) yard for her to run, fetch, exercise, and learn in. This dog is special in every way - and she deserves a special home. Please submit an application if you think you might just be that person, Sierra is completely vetted and waiting for the right person to love her. You can find our application on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org) Emailing it to us will insure a timely response.

Meet Buddy 22
10 year old Buddy came to us after he developed a skin infection that his owners could not successfully treat. It appears to have originated from fleas, but we have also put Buddy on a nonallergenic food - just in case, In the short time Buddy has been with us - he has bloomed. His skin is now healed, and his coat is returning to normal. The biggest change has been in his energy level - and his overall obvious joy to be feeling good, His new person needs to be aware that Buddy will need monthly flea protection, and we would highly recommend he remain on the diet we currently have him on (more expensive than some regular foods). Buddy is a joy to be around - he is happy, playful, loves other dogs, and is now healthy. Buddy is UTD on core vaccines, heartworm negative, & neutered. If you would like to offer Buddy a forever home, please send us your application (email is best). You can find our app on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org).

Donations needed for our newest intake, McKinley aka Mickie. Mickie had a huge wound on her neck (gunshot maybe). It had been left untreated for a long time. Owner surrendered her to rescue. Beckley Animal Hospital did a wonderful job with her surgery and caring for her for the past 2-3 weeks.
HER VET BILL WAS $1000
Donations can be sent to us via Paypal at [email protected]

Mickie still needs to be spayed and have further vetting prior to being offered for adoption. She will not be fostered out . She needs more vetting and spay. She is not available for adoption yet.

For roughly the last 3 years, COVID has devastated our fundraising efforts and our efforts to rescue animals. It's not over!

First, almost all of our in-person fundraising had been canceled. Then as COVID started winding down and people started getting back to a somewhat normal life. Many had no more need for the animals they adopted during the pandemic and started dumping them at shelters, who quickly went to capacity.

We're hurting, but our work can't end. We need your help on GivingTuesday!

Please Help

Tucker G
2 year old Tucker had to leave his previous home after he got into a scrap with another family dog over a toy. We have seen zero aggression in Tucker - he LOVES people, but because of his past, we would like to see him as the only dog in his future home. Tucker is housebroken and crate trained, vaccinated, tested for heartworm, lymes, ehrlichia. He tested negative for all but lymes EXPOSURE (and is being treated prophylactically for that EXPOSURE to Lymes - he is NOT clinically symptomatic). He is just a super nice dog. If you would like to offer Tucker a forever home, please submit an application which you can find on our website (www.almostheaven-golden-retriever-rescue.org) Emailing it will get the fastest response.

Thank you to Fathom Realty LLC- WV for raising $350 so far with this fabulous fundraiser!

Fundraiser going on in Lewisburg, WV for AHGRR if anyone is local to the area.

We would like to find a foster home for Roman. He is such a great dog, we cannot believe nobody has adopted him yet. Contact us if you would like to foster Roman.

Panzer and Pandora who came into our possession this past Saturday, and are now under the care of our wonderful, compassionate veterinarians. I have been "in rescue" for a very long time - over 35 years. I have rarely seen dogs in worse shape than these two pathetic dogs. I am horrified by their condition. Both are broken, sick dogs - but Panzer is beyond anything most people will ever witness in their lifetime. I cannot begin to tell you what these two animals must have endured - and not just since their owner passed away. These dogs have been neglected for YEARS. No animal gets this bad in a matter of days, weeks, or months. Both dogs have almost been eaten alive by fleas and other parasites, The hair loss is shocking and disgusting. The hairless areas are infected and some are raw. Both of Panzer's ears have suffered long term infections, and the canals are now almost completely closed. We need to treat the infections before we can address the tumor (which though unsightly, is not at the top of concerns for our docs right now.) Both dogs are underweight and generally unwell. I am including some pictures of Panzer - who is the worst of the two. PLEASE contribute to his medical fund. His rehabilitation and medical care will be very costly. After all the neglect and abuse these two dogs have suffered, both are very sweet and loving. We think they deserve the chance to be well and know what a dog's life should really be like. No animal should ever suffer as these two obviously have. PLEASE - I'm begging on their behalf. Every dollar makes a difference right now. We have a long road in front of us - - - - - it will be bumpy - - - - but I think the trip is worth it! Pandora and Panzer are worth it! THANK YOU in advance, Carol AHGRR

ADOPT EDDIE FROM ALMOST HEAVEN GOLDEN RETRIEVER RESCUE

EDDIE IS STILL LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL HUMAN TO GIVE HIM A REAL HOME. SUCH A SWEET BOY. SOMEONE PLEASE ADOPT HIM, HE DESERVES A HOME OF HIS OWN .

Eddie would love to have a forever or foster home! Eddie is 5 - 6 years old and a total love bug. He is intact as his doctor thinks the neuter surgery should be delayed - or forgotten. Eddie has some balance issues that make him a candidate for a home with no steps - or only one step that he would use daily. Eddie is good on leash, and has gotten along with most of our other dogs here. He has one gorgeous blue eye, and an equally pretty brown eye. Eddie is simply a nice dog who needs someone to love him "as is". The veterinary neurologist who saw Eddie felt that his condition was caused by a genetic condition and that he will probably live an average life span "as is". He takes no special medications, and besides the necessity of avoiding steps, has no special needs. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to give Eddie a chance? If you might be interested in fostering Eddie, we can also discuss that option.
