These sweet boys are patiently waiting for a place to call home—and hearts to call their own. They’re already potty trained and leash trained, making them the perfect companions from day one. Full of love and loyalty, they’re just looking for a family to share it with. If you think your home could be there forever, please contact Holly Hindman of Golden Waggin’. Let’s help them find the love they so deeply deserve.

They need homes, any takers? We have reduced the asking price!

Zeke

03/29/2025

Ladybug had the best time visiting Zeke and his pack at my mother-in-law’s house today!

Zeke is my handsome purebred Golden Retriever who has since retired from my breeding program and now lives the good life with my mother-in-law. Ladybug is extra special to me—she’s from one of my own previous litters and I hand-raised her from just a week old.

They spent the day with Pepper (the sweet Aussie I rescued along with her six siblings when they were just 7 weeks old), Sally (a shelter rescue I adopted), and Spotty (a lovable Lab/Pit mix rescued by my amazing mother-in-law).

There’s nothing better than watching them all getting along and living their best, happiest lives together!

Hope you enjoy the photos of this sweet, tail-wagging crew!

🚨 EXCITING NEWS! 🚨

We are proud to introduce Horry County’s FIRST Micro-chip Scanner Station! 🎉 We’re launching this lifesaving resource to help reunite lost pets with their families, and the first station is now installed at Murray Law Group, LLC (3775 Sea Mountain Hwy, Little River, SC 29566)!

🐾 If you find a lost pet, this station will guide you through scanning for a micro-chip and reuniting them with their owner. If they don’t have a chip, the station provides next steps and important resources like local animal control contacts.

With 1 in 3 pets going missing in their lifetime and 10 million pets lost annually in the U.S., this is a game-changer for helping lost pets get home safely!

A HUGE thank you to the NMB Chamber Foundation and Katharine Keaton with Murray Law Group, LLC for sponsoring this lifesaving community resource!

Want to help more lost pets find their way home? Businesses interested in hosting a Micro-chip Scanner Station can contact Tina Hunter at [email protected] or call 843-249-4948! 📞

📢 The Hidden Dangers of Obesity in Dogs – A Must-Read! 📢

One of the most common misconceptions in the dog world today is the belief that a fat dog is a healthy dog. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth! Many people have become so accustomed to seeing overweight dogs that when they come across a dog that is in proper weight and good body condition, they assume the dog is malnourished or underfed.

🐾 Why does this matter?
Excess weight puts unnecessary strain on a dog’s joints, heart, and organs, leading to a shorter lifespan, mobility issues, diabetes, and other serious health complications. On the flip side, keeping a dog at a healthy weight improves their quality of life, longevity, and overall well-being.

🔗 I strongly urge all dog owners to take the time to read these articles. Here are a ton of articles and lists on the subject.

As responsible dog owners, we must shift our mindset and recognize what a fit, healthy dog actually looks like. A visible waistline and a defined tuck-up are not signs of neglect—they are signs of a well-cared-for dog!

Let’s work together to promote health over outdated beauty standards and keep our beloved dogs thriving for years to come. ❤️🐕

🐾 Ladybug’s Upcoming Spay & Her Special Role 🐾

We wanted to share that our sweet Ladybug is scheduled to be spayed in April. While she won’t be having puppies of her own, she will always be an important part of our program.

Ladybug was born here at LMU Goldens and was mostly hand-raised by me, which created an unbreakable bond between us. From the start, she has shown an incredible gift for nurturing—she adores every puppy born here, showering them with love, cuddles, and gentle play. 💕

Beyond being the best “puppy auntie,” Ladybug has also displayed a natural talent for therapy work. Her calm, loving presence and intuitive ability to comfort both people and animals make her truly special. Whether she’s snuggling with puppies, offering a reassuring nuzzle, or simply being there when someone needs extra love, she has a heart of gold. 🐶✨

We are so proud of Ladybug and excited to see her continue spreading joy and comfort to both our pups and the people around her. Thank you all for your continued support and love for our LMU Goldens family! 💛🐾
