On 2/2/2015 ccassaday said: The reason it is not for us is we just lost a dog to cancer. My mom looked into rescues but a lot of them have health or other issues. We arent going to deal with that when ours just died of cancer. We would however not hesitate if a golden showed up at our shelter and was a puppy.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, and if someone is thinking they have to get a puppy because only puppies will bond to you, that is a bunch of malarkey.  Yes, indeed, marlakey and hooey and all sorts of other words like that.

 

I'm not here to pat myself on the back but I have only adopted older dogs (like 6 and older).  They have all bonded with me so very, very well.  I could not have asked for better companions.

 

This is not just to the original poster, but anyone who is wondering about bonding with an older dog.  Older dogs will bond with you just fine.
