Please read about our adoption process prior to applying for any animal with us.

Our website has information about our rescue, adoption process and link to our adoption application www.collarofhope.org

 We are a foster home based rescue and have no facility to visit.
 Prior to adoption, our animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated including rabies/age appropriate, microchipped and parasite treated/prevented as a minimum.

Our ADOPTION PROCESS - ADOPTION FEES and ADOPTION APPLICATION can be found on our Petfinder Home Page www.collarofhope.petfinder.com Jake is a gorgeous, pure bred, Golden Retriever between 1-2 years old. He came to us with a major drive for the female dogs and with no manners at all. We have him being fostered with our trainer to work with him on manners and obedience training. Neutering does not create an auto stop to the Cassonova ways though and it will be about 4 months before those hormones settle down. He will need a home with experience in training/obedience and a commitment to continued training with this boy as well as a good pack leader. He is NOT for a novice owner. He is a big, young, active boy who needs lots of exercise! Your child cannot take him on a walk. He now walks on a leash (didn't at all when he arrived), only missing a beat with the sight of an occasional squirrel. He has learned how to run on a treadmill also to help burn off some of his energy too. Again, and we can't stress this enough, he will need someone commited to instilling good obedience and being a good pack leader to Jake so he stays on the course his trainer has started with him so he's the best boy he can be when fully mature. When completing our application, be VERY specific with your training background and all training questions as well as your exercise plan for him! If this sounds like you and he sounds like your kind of dog, please submit your application for Jake! He's neutered, utd with vaccines, rabies, parasite treatments and micro chipped. Jakes adoption fee is $300. To meet or be considered for adoption, you must FIRST email us our completed adoption application to: collar.of.hope@live.com PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT OR APPLY FOR A RESCUE. WE WILL NOT HOLD THEM FOR VACATIONS, MOVING INTO A NEW HOME OR HOLIDAYS ONCE APPROVED AND SELECTED TO ADOPT A RESCUE. We thank you for seeking a rescue dog!
