Ivy is a gorgeous 6 year old golden retriever who made her way to SFCR after being released from a commercial breeding facility.

Ivy arrived to rescue extremely shut down and terrified of the world (and people) around her. She has made good progress while in foster care but has a ways to go and will require a very patient (and calm) family willing to give her the time she needs.

Ivy is terrified of being placed on a leash - she has been working on desensitization but it will be a very slow and delicate process - a physically fenced in yard is a hard adoption requirement. Ivy also has immature cataracts in her eyes and will likely be seeing a veterinary ophthalmologist for a consult.

Ivy is crate trained and views her crate as a very safe and comfortable space.

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

Physically fenced in yard - Ivy is a breeder release dog and not familiar with or comfortable walking on a harness/leash. She is also a flight risk and requires a physical fence for her safety. No exceptions.
Confident (similar sized) resident dog to continue to help teach Ivy how to "dog". No exceptions.
Patient family willing to continue to work on confidence building, basic obedience, and housetraining.
Home with older, dog savvy kids only (ages 10 & up).

Ivy has been spayed and received a dental cleaning, tested negative for heartworm & tick borne diseases, is current on vaccinations & monthly preventatives, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $500 plus tax.
