Kasey has made her back to GSGRR. Her new family could no longer keep her with a new baby on the way. She has just recently been spayed. Kasey deserves a FOREVER HOME so please make a life long commitment to Kasey this go-a-round. She very gentle with kids and a bit timid now with other dogs because she has had so many changes in the past few months. If you do want her to have a fur sibling...just take it slow in the initial introduction. She has done well with other dogs at "homeward bound acres" but again...her foster mom gave her a few days before introducing her into the pack. Her foster mom would really like her to go to a "only pet" home so you can lavish her with all the love and devotion she needs today, tomorrow, and for the rest of her golden years. She would love nothing more than for you to play a game of fetch with her. She surely loves her tennis balls and she is quiet as a mouse any other time. Kasey is a very calm natured golden girl who would be a great companion.

UPDATE ON AUGUST 15TH: We have since learned that Kasey adores men so she is definitely a "man's best friend", started giving us her "paw" on command, and loves her pigtails rubbed and if you stop, she will nudge you to continue. Her foster mom would love to adopt her, but must continue her rescue efforts with GSGRR. She is just that SPECIAL.

Kasey is a true gem to the Island of Golden Plenty. She is approximately 5-6 years old, but don't let that age fool you. Kasey can keep up with the best of them and her favorite past time is playing fetch. Though she has been in her foster home for a very short time, she is definitely showing her true colors like the vibrant multicolor leis she has embellished around her neck. Kasey meets and exceeds all expectations in the golden retriever attributes, and she would make a fine addition to any family.

Health Status to date:
Kasey is heartworm negative as of August 10th, 2006, up-to-date on all her shots, and she has a clean bill of health from our attaining veterinarian. She does experience mild seasonal allergies with tear stains and occasional grunting sound from her sinus cavity (vet says it's no biggie), but that is quickly overlooked when you see her adorable pigtails in person. She is now on heartworm preventative and frontline plus.

Overall Disposition:
Kasey is great with children, house trained, crate trained, extremely calm disposition, very seldom barks unless it's for guarding the premises, pleasantly plump at 82 lbs, loves to fetch, knows commands of "sit","come Kasey", "road trip", and "kennel up" thus far, shy at first with strangers, good with dogs, may require her own eating den away from other dogs because she likes her own kibble, unknown with cats, loves to fetch, well mannered for bathtime and car rides, and all around a great companion. Kasey will act like a sea turtle hidden in her shell with a new dog or stranger, but she quickly comes out of her shell to meet and greet. More information about Kasey the more she is with her foster family. Check back for updates.

History of Kasey:
Kasey was surrendered by a grandmother that had taken in Kasey from a neglectful situation as the family pet along with all her grandchildren. Grandma tried to do the very best with Kasey, but was quickly overwhelmed with the new living arrangements and having to raise her grandchildren now. Grandma made the sound decision to enroll Kasey with GSGRR so she could have a better life. Kasey lived most of her life in a very small caged area in the backyard. It's believe she might have had a litter of puppies at one time, but unknown to GSGRR. It's safe to assume she is predominantly purebred golden retriever, but no pedigree papers to prove such findings. Kasey is considered a precious pearl found in a clam shell that was washed ashore and overlooked by many...that was until GSGRR exploration team found her on the Island of Golden Plenty.

Kasey is ready for her new golden paradise.... so what are you waiting for? This "maile leis" (hawaiian term meaning VIP - very important pooch) deserves a forever island to soak up the sun and enjoy the rays of human companionship.
