Meet Eleanor - The sweetest golden girl looking for her soft place to land Eleanor is a gentle senior Golden Retriever we met during our visit to Türkiye in April. She had been left at a local shelter a few months earlier by her owner for barking. When we met her, it was clear that Eleanor hadn’t known much love or care in her life. She had been severely neglected and was in desperate need of medical attention, including major dental work. Despite everything she’s been through, Eleanor has the kindest soul. She’s calm, quiet, and incredibly gentle. She prefers to spend her days relaxing in peace, but recently, she’s started seeking out people for soft pets and quiet affection—small signs that she’s learning to trust again. Eleanor gets along well with everyone and asks for very little. What she truly wants now is a safe, loving home where she can spend her golden years in comfort. If you have a quiet space and a tender heart, Eleanor just might be the perfect addition to your life. She’s not looking for adventure. She’s just looking for a soft place to land.
