Sweet as "Cider" and Ready for Adoption!

    Looking for a wonderful, sweet, smart, loving companion? We have just the dog for you!


    Meet our handsome boy named "Cider"! He is a stunning Golden Retriever mix who is almost 2 years old, now HW negative, neutered, and up-to-date on all his shots and vetting.

    This dog's pictures do not do him justice! His foster family totally adore and love him, and they are confident his forever family will also quickly fall for this golden, precious boy! He is funny and goofy, with just the perfect touch of serious thrown in for good measure!

    In true Golden fashion, Cider needs a strong leader to follow but once he attaches himself to you in true "Golden velcro" fashion, you will have him heart and soul forever, and he will become your little "shadow", wanting to follow you everywhere you go - listening to your every word, and just being an all-around wonderful companion!

    When Cider came to Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, he was in a great deal of pain with his back legs due to torn ACL's but Angels' vets did surgery to correct the problem. Each day, Cider is adapting to not experiencing the kind of pain he had before, but since he's still a bit sensitive in that area, we do not recommend he be adopted into a home with small children who might not understand his sensitivity to that area of his body. He takes daily supplements to support his joints and he's doing really great and is a healthy boy now.

    Cider walks in a perfect "heel" on a leash and is both house-broken and crate-trained. The even better news is this perfect boy actually doesn't need to be crated! He is a great "inside" doggie - he doesn't get on furniture and is very respectful of boundaries. What more could you ask of your canine companion?

    His ideal home would be an experienced dog owner. Cider loves other dogs and would be happy in a home with other canine companions, or as the only "furbaby" in the home and could be spoiled rotten. He is also good with the cats in his foster home. The one thing Cider needs most is a home where he could stay in his routine and continue with learning good dog behaviors, tricks, and commands. He's a smart dog and loves learning new things! He has learned commands such as "sit", "wait" before leaving the house or eating. He will also require a high fenced-in backyard with a secure gate to keep him happy, safe, secure and to give him room to run around and play.

    If you would like to know more about Cider or arrange to meet him, you may contact his foster, Ashley, directly by email to "ashleyrea@gmail.com" or you can contact Angels Rescue directly by email at "Inquiry@angelsrescue.org".
