Ezra came to us from a rescue whom had a tragic fire! This poor sweet dog was mauled by another animal and had his back leg amputated as well as his other back toes amputated! Although he has alot to heal from physically, his personality is wonderful and he loves everyone! He is a true golden...he knows sit and paw. The staff say he is the most loveable dog they have ever known!

We hope to find a special home for him where he will be loved and cherished always!

Like many dogs in the South, Ezra is heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you from adopting a great dog.  We are treating him with monthly heartworm preventative, our preferred method.  Many heartworm positive dogs go on to lead long and healthy lives.

Foster Update: April 30- Ezra is such a sweet boy!  He loves to be right next to you and smiles all the time.  His back foot is still healing where he lost his toes but he lets me change his bandage without much of a fuss as long as he gets loved on before and after!  I don't even think he's aware he's missing the other back leg and gets along just fine and runs and plays with the other dogs all day.  He is excellent on a leash and knows his basic commands well.  He will make a wonderful, loving pet for a lucky family!

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Golden Retriever was first developed in the British Isles, probably from crosses between a yellow Flat-Coated Retriever, light-coated Tweed Water Spaniels, other spaniels, setters and even the Newfoundland and possibly the Bloodhound. In fact the breed was first shown as a Golden Flat-Coat. The Golden is one of the world's foremost family companion dogs. Many of the top obedience competition dogs in the country are Golden retrievers. The Golden is also a fine bird dog on both land and in the water. He has an excellent nose and has been used not only for hunting and tracking, but also for narcotics detection. Because of his great desire to please and capacity for love and learning, the Golden Retriever is also used as a guide for the blind, therapy dog, and service dog for the disabled. These are lovable, well-mannered, intelligent dogs with a great charm. They are easily trained, and always patient and gentle with children. Loyal, confident, sweet and eager to please. It is active, loving and an outstanding family dog. Golden Retrievers enjoy pleasing their masters, so obedience training can be fun. They excel in obedience competitions. Friendly with everyone, including other dogs, the Golden Retriever has very little, if any, guarding instincts. While unlikely to attack, Goldens make good watchdogs, loudly signaling a stranger's approach. This breed needs to be around people to be happy. If isolated from human contact, or left alone for long periods of time, the Golden Retriever may become mischievous. They can be over-exuberant and distractible. Some of the Golden's talents are hunting, tracking, retrieving, narcotics detection, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks. These dogs also love to swim. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
