Brylee

Brylee, age 2

Anyone suffering from double  vision?? We think we might be! In just the first week of June, we’ve taken in three pairs of Goldens. Sister and brother Mandy and Gary came into care on June 1,  and sisters Phoebe & Sophie, as well as Brylee & her friend Bowan, all arrived on June 6.

When a friendly pair of Goldens bustled into the Good Samaritan’s garage on May 29, it seemed obvious they’d just escaped from a backyard close by. Or maybe they belonged to someone visiting from out of town over the Memorial Day holiday; or maybe their family was away for the long weekend, and a baby sitter had let them get out? With their shiny fur, trimmed paws, newish collars, and overall healthy look, they just HAD to belong to someone. The finders promptly popped the dogs into the car and took a slow drive around the neighborhood, fully expecting to see an anxious owner looking up and down the street. Nobody. Later that evening, they repeated the performance, this time walking the boy-and-girl pair and knocking on doors; but nobody had ever seen the dogs before. Next up was a trip to the vet to check for microchips (nope), postings on Craigslist and Man & Beast, and calls to every vet and shelter within a 5- to 10-mile radius. Nothing.

And that’s how Brylee and her pal Bowan came to GRR… after completing a stray hold at the shelter.

At around two or three years old, caramel-gold Brylee has all the zip and energy you’d expect of a young Golden. “She’s a live wire!” said our GRR intake volunteer. Weighing in at a healthy 62 pounds, she should be all ready for her new family just as soon as she recovers from her spay surgery.

We’ll have more details on Brylee’s personality soon!
