Golda's Story

When we first met Golda we were told that based on the limited testing the shelter was able to do that it appeared Golda was in late stages of heart failure and had<br/><br/>fluid in her chest. The shelter deemed her a hospice situation and we knew if no one took her soon she would be euthanized to make space for younger, healthier dogs in need.<br/><br/>We left the shelter that day without Golda, but we couldn&#39;t shake the image of her big bright eyes looking at us through her kennel. We knew we wanted the chance to give her the best last amount of time we possibly could, if only we could find a foster willing to open their hearts to such a tough situation.<br/><br/>Not only did we find the best foster who allowed us to pull Golda from the shelter, we were also able to get her more extensive medical testing, and true to the Swampie magic ways we are so grateful for, we were shocked to learn that Golda was in fact NOT hospice.<br/><br/>Golda is a senior, estimated around 11 years old. She is a happy, easy going lady who we thought we would have the honor of pampering for a few short weeks in the final stages of her life and now this Queen is officially UP FOR ADOPTION!<br/><br/>Golda is dog friendly, in fact she lights up when she sees her dog friends and she plays like a youngin&#39;. She is also cat and kid friendly, great left unattended around the house, and has the BEST prances and zoomies when she is excited. Health wise Golda has some arthritis she manages, and she does have heart disease, but it is early stages. She is on medication and special food to help slow and manage her disease. We have known dogs who have lived long periods of time with heart disease, and based on the level of pep in her step we are optimistic that this will be the case for Golda as well.<br/><br/>We are still in shock that this &#34;hospice dog&#34; almost didn&#39;t make it out of the shelter and now not only did she make it out, she has a second chance at life.<br/><br/>Special shout out to @westhousevisuals for capturing these pictures of sweet Golda, she is simply<br/><br/>GLOWING<br/><br/>and excited for the rest of her forever to find her.

Swamp Haven Rescue's Adoption Policy
When you adopt a dog from Swamp Haven, you’re not just saving a life. You’re beginning a journey filled with love, loyalty and trust. Life can be busy and stressful. The companionship of a dog is a constant reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things. At Swamp Haven, our mission isn’t to just help down-on-their-luck dogs find their forever homes. Our mission is to create a lasting relationship with you and your family. Adopt happiness. Our adoption process is unique in that we work with you every step of the way to ensure that we’re placing the right dog with the right family. First, chat with us about what you’re looking for in a dog and we will set up a time for you to meet the lucky pup. From there, fill out an application. Once reviewed we set up a time to bring your potential pup to your house for a home visit and trial week. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for both your family and the dog involved. We will be totally available during the trial week for any questions or concerns. The last step is to finalize the adoption. And then congrats, you’re a new member of the Swamp Haven family and your happy tail has just begun! Our adoption fee is $400
