As Good as Gold Fostering - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
A key component of AGaG is our foster homes. Without them, we would not be able to operate the way we do and have dogs placed with loving families temporarily until a permanent home can be found. Without adequate numbers of foster homes, we are limited in how many Goldens we can take in at one time.
Retired Breeder Females
o We continue to bring in retired breeding females that are in need of special homes. These dogs have come from large commercial breeders and must have a mentor dog and a fully fenced in yard because they are scared. They are getting used to living in a home and starting to trust humans. A mentor dog shows them how to be more comfortable and the fence is because many have never been on a leash and will not go potty while on a leash.
Fully Fenced-in Yard
o While a fully fenced-in yard is NOT a requirement to adopt or foster, it is for some of our dogs. Currently, we are seeing a huge increase in dogs released from breeding, so these are the majority of the dogs we have in foster care. These dogs have lived in a kennel environment, never lived in a home, not potty trained, never been on a leash and many haven't had a lot of human contact. They are flight risks and completely shut down when a leash is put on them by falling to the ground and not moving, and then needing to be carried, or they get terrified and try their hardest to back out of the collar and run away. We have had a few dogs get loose and they are gone for days. It is very scary, and we do our best to keep these retired breeding dogs safe. They are the only ones that require a fence for their safety and to help them be successful in learning what it's like to be a dog. All of the dogs in our care are our priority, every dog is different, and we have to do what's best for their needs.
PLEASE consider fostering so we can help more dogs!! They need you!!
