Try to contact a golden rescue. You would be amazed at the number of choices and why they are no longer in a loving home. Wonder breed happy hunting for your new buddy

I think you are offering free baby sitting for goldens? Perhaps you would like to send a PM to CFrance, she is knowledgeable.

Why not try and contact a Golden Retriever Rescue and become foster parents. You give a dog a good home while they look for their forever home plus you just may find your forever friend at the same time.

This is an excellent suggestion. A way to "try on" pet ownership again without the obligation. And who knows, you may fall in love. Hats off to Aussie Mom.

I'll send you a PM (personal message). However I think the foster solution proposed by aussiemom is a better idea. If you contact a Golden Rescue Organization, they should be able to guide you.

Goldens and Labs are the best dogs in the world. I'm sure that is up for debate but IMHO my choices are accurate.
