Default Wanted -- loving dog

We recently lost our beloved dog after 17 years and are seeking a replacement. Our remaining dog is grieving big time. He is a 6 year old Wheaten terrier. If you know of an adult dog (4-7 yrs. old) who needs a loving forever home, please pm me. Our very first choice would be a golden retriever but they are scarce to find. Must love to be hugged and kissed a lot.

17 years is a long time. Sorry for your loss. Have you looked at the dogs at the Humane Society ? I bet there's many fur babies would love lots of hugs & kisses.

I am sorry for your loss...pets are truly member of our families. You may want to check Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida; their web site is Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida, Inc.. This group had a lot of very sweet looking dogs available on their web site. There are always many, many adult dogs of all sizes and breeds that need new homes so thank you for wanting to rescue an adult dog. Good luck finding your fur baby.

Check out the dogs at The Animal League (aka South Lake Animal League): South Lake Animal League - Photos | Facebook

If you adopt a dog they consider a senior and you are over a certain age, they will give you a discount. They considered my dog a senior and she is far from being a senior.

Thanks to everyone for all their suggestions. We have tried a few of them and will be going to an adoption event tomorrow. We really appreciate all the ideas.

I am so sorry for your loss also. You might contact Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid Florida Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida, Inc. and Joshua's House, Home Page for Joshuas House for Golden Retriever Rescue
There is another golden retriever rescue group around too, but I don't know their name. Also you might google for Lab rescue orgs. They're loving goofballs too. Good luck to you and your Wheaten in finding a new friend.

You sound like great dog owners. I'm very sorry for your loss.
But I'm happy that you're looking for a rescue.
Some wonderful dog will complete your family, and provide companionship for your Wheaton.
Best of luck. There are lots of great Rescue Organizations around.
