IEGRR has adopted out 28 dogs so far in 2008.

Page Updated - May 08, 2008

Vargas
is 7 yrs old. He has lived his whole life in a crate, outside, and heated
with a heat lamp. He LOVES humans!!!!!! He gets along with most dogs except
for an "in charge" dog. He is crate trained and needs to gain some weight. He
has been neutered.

Bear
will be 2 yrs old in a few months. He seems pretty normal except that
when taken to vet, he does not like his rear end checked out, no thermometers.
   He does not hurt in his rear quarters, but his reaction may be his way
of controlling what happens. Maybe he's had a bad experience previously.
   He needs a family with no young children, a stable, structured environment.
   Bear is very loving and calm but needs a home where he can have a little
leeway. We wish Bear could tell us what he's been through.

Seamroy
4 yr old male. He is 3/4 Golden and 1/4 something else but
he has the greatest Golden personality. He is great with absolutely all
kids, cats and other dogs. He is crate and potty trained. He will need a
6 foot fence because if left outside, he thinks about how to jump over
a low fence or find openings in a not-so-good fence. Has one of the best
personalities we've ever seen

Rosie
5 yr old Rottie mix, came to us from the Post Falls Shelter because
she was to be euthanized. She lived in a home for 4 yrs but the family
moved to Everett and had no fence. Rosie has been abused because she
is very uncomfortable with yelling, and also does not like brooms, shovels
or similar tools. Rosie is very calm and loving and would like to be a couch
potato in a home with a low level of chaos.

Bruno
We think he is about 2-3 yrs old. He came from a local shelter
due to be euthanized because the shelter was over capacity. He is very
large and we think he is a Golden/Chessie? mix. Good with other dogs, not
sure about cats or kids. We think he has been an outside dog but not
certain.

Burman
8 yr old male, not good with most other dogs but LOVES
humans. Not sure about cats. Can leave him alone unattended. He is
afraid of thunder and fireworks so will need calming meds during these
times or he will become destructive.

Hope
We think she is about 6-7 yrs old. She was dumped in a ditch in
the Bonner, Idaho area. She was found by a wonderful woman who is
involved with animal control. She was most likely on her last 24 hours of
life because she was in very bad shape. She was about 20-30 underweight,
almost all her hair was gone, and she is blind. Hope went to another wonderful
woman to be fostered for about a month. During her stay there, she was
diagnosed with diabetes and was started on insulin. The diabetes is the
cause of Hope's blindness. These two women called us and asked if we
could help find Hope a home. While not too hopeful, when we met Hope,
we were convinced she wanted to live a long life. She now is on insulin
and thyroid meds. She has gained about 20 plus pounds and has a beautiful
blonde coat. She gets along with other dogs but because she can't see
them, she is automatically protective of herself. She will let them know if
they get too close. She loves human attention and will sleep all day. She
is potty trained. We are going to see if a local eye vet can remove her
cataracts. She is very happy to be alive!

Katie
1 1/2 yr old female who has a pretty severe heart murmur. She
will need meds for the rest of her life which IEGRR will pay for. She is
normal in every other way except that her life span will most likely be
shorter than expected. She likes things calm but will play with other
dogs and knows her limit. She is VERY stubborn and does not like to be
forced to do anything. She would be happiest in a home of adults where
she has reign. Potty trained and pretty sure she can be left unattended.

Cosmo
7 yr old mix, likes other dogs, prefers
to sleep alot, not sure about cats, house trained.

Many people have asked why the IEGRR only has older dogs on our web site. The answer is simple. We handle dogs of all ages, but younger dogs go very quickly. They are adopted by persons who have already submitted adoption applications and are waiting. If you are considering adopting a rescued golden retriever please don't be discouraged that you don't see young dogs on the web site. We encourage you to fill out and mail in an adoption application. The IEGRR does have a waiting list but it is relatively short compared to other golden rescues.

If you are interested in any of these dogs, or know of someone who is, please call the Rescue Line: (509) 443-1133
or contact the IEGRR Communications Coordinator The Smith's
