Patches - bonded with Sophia's Story

My name is Patches and I am a 1-year-old supposedly half Golden Retriever who weighs 40 pounds. Apparently my mom was a Golden and my dad was a Dalmatian... but honestly, who knows?! What I can tell you for certain is that I am 100% GOOD DOG. You may be wondering how I ended up with a Golden Retriever rescue. Well, heres my story... I was rescued with my sister Sophia. She looks a lot more like our mom than I do and we are best friends. Sophia has some medical things the wonderful volunteers at GRCGLA Rescue offered to help her with. The problem was, if Sophia left, I would have been all alone out in a dirt yard with nobody to keep me company. It was okay when we had each other because we could cuddle and play and not feel so lonely, but being out there all day and night by myself would have been awful. Sophia and I are so happy to be in rescue together and we are now looking for our forever home. We are truly bonded and the very best of friends. The kind volunteers and caring staff at the vet clinic say we are the sweetest pair they have ever met. We love people, other dogs, belly rubs, toys, treats, and most of all being together. We spend our days playing, exploring, and napping side by side. We have good manners, are eager to please, and are learning all about what it means to be cherished family members. I am a happy-go-lucky gal with a gentle soul and a goofy personality. I can make people laugh with my silly expressions and joyful enthusiasm for life. Sophia is a little more thoughtful and reserved, and together we make the perfect team. Wherever she goes, I am not far behind, and wherever I go, she is right there beside me. What we are looking for is simple: a family that understands how special our bond is and will welcome both of us into their hearts and home. In return, you'll get double the love, double the loyalty, and double the golden-hearted companionship. We have already been through so much together, and now we are hoping our next chapter is the best one yet. Could you be the family we've been waiting for? GRCGLARescue adopts within the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego. Because we do require pre-adoption screening and post-adoption follow-up, we cannot support adoptions outside of this service area. If you have a current application on file and would like to inquire about this dog, please email adoptions@grcglarescue.org. Otherwise, please make sure to complete the online adopter application found at http://www.grcglarescue.org/adopt before sending your inquiry.

Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue's Adoption Policy

Thank you for your interest and caring to adopt! The first step in the adoption process is to complete the online adoption application (link below). The next step is the in-home visit. GRCGLARescue does require a $25 donation to schedule this visit. This non-refundable donation helps to offset the costs associated with making our dogs ready to meet adopters, including providing veterinary care, boarding, and other needs. After your application is received, one of our volunteers will contact you. It may take 7-10 days to be contacted, as we receive many applications and volunteers are spread across many duties. The volunteer will schedule a home visit with you. Before submitting your application, please know that our current inventory of dogs is low and the level of applications continues at robust levels. Thus, it may take substantially longer to find a dog that matches the dog’s needs and your interests. The application and home visit are held open for 2 years. Please carefully review this eligibility information prior to submitting your adoption application: GRCGLARescue does not adopt dogs to homes with children under 7 years old unless we know that a particular dog has a solid, positive history living successfully with kids of a similar age to those in the potential adopter's home. As a rescue we receive very few dogs that meet this criterion. Finding a dog who is going to be safe with your kids will likely make your adoption process longer. This policy is for the safety and well-being of your families and our dogs. If you're patient and have realistic expectations about adoption, we'll be very happy to work with you. GRCGLARescue adopts within the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego. Because we do require pre-adoption screening and post-adoption follow-up, we cannot support adoptions outside of this service area. If you have any question about whether your city is part of our service area, please email us at info@grcglarescue.org GRCGLARescue cannot adopt dogs into homes where the number of pets currently meets or exceeds the limits set by your local municipal authority (city or county) or your HOA. If you’re not sure about the limits in your area, please contact your city hall, animal control authority and/or HOA to get that information. GRCGLA Rescue cannot adopt dogs to homes that have an invisible/electric fence as a source of containment. GRCGLARescue does not adopt dogs to rental applicants without written proof that the landlord will permit a dog the size of a Golden Retriever in their rental abode. This proof can be a copy of the lease having a clause allowing such a dog, or a separate written document of landlord approval and must be provided to one of our volunteers prior to a home visit being scheduled. Verbal assurances or “contingent” clauses requiring the identification of a specific dog prior to the landlord granting approval are not accepted. Additionally, we will require written proof of any additional pet security deposit required by the landlord being paid. GRCGLARescue does not guarantee that every prospective adopter/applicant will adopt a dog from us. Our goal is to find each of our dogs the best matched home, and we cannot provide any assurance to prospective adopters that we’ll be able to make a placement with them. Unfortunately, most applicants will not get a dog from us. The more flexible you are about your ideal dog the better your chances become. We recognize that you may be working with other rescues, as well as breeders, and visiting animal shelters too. No dogs can be certified as “service” or “comfort” by GRCGLARescue. All dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and vet-checked prior to adoption. Adoption fee (effective April, 2025): Under 1 year $900 1-4 years $800 5-7 years $600 8-9 years $500 10+ years $300 https://www.cognitoforms.com/GRCGLARescue/AdoptionApplication
