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, here’s 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?
