We found a young Golden 2 days ago. He was cold and stressed, but you can tell he was very well taken care of by his owners.
Call: 612-799-6419 to answer identifying questions to claim.

He was in South Minneapolis, but may have been stolen from elsewhere.

Take in to the vet to check for chip. Last resort, bring to Animal Ark in Hastings. They are a TRUE no-kill shelter, and are the most particular about who they adopt to. You should have seen the application we had to fill out to get a kitten.

I don't know anything about local rescues. If someone believes that to be a better option, I'm sure they will chime in.

Do not take to the Humane Society shelter.

Yes, posted to Lost Dogs MN already. No, there is no microchip or tattoo. Yes, RAGOM has been contacted. Yes, there is already a good home waiting if the owner isn't found. Yes, the police, Craigs List and Animal Control have been contacted regarding a missing dog. Found in south Minneapolis, there is zero indication that someone local lost him. Very likely that he came from another area.

If you use Facebook you can go to Lost Dogs-MN site and repost. The more people that see it the better! Thanks for your concern and help!

I got your email. Thanks for everything you're doing. This definitely helps make the case for microchipping. For all we know, this dog could have been stolen from out of town, or out of state, and the owner might not have any idea that their puppy is is Minneapolis.

Update

We are still looking for his family. It was getting pretty crazy in our house with 3 dogs, 2 fixed 1 not. My senior shepherd was stressed and had "accidents" in the house. So we moved the pup to a friends house on 60 acres, he is really happy there! Our friend will keep him until the owner finds him and if not, he will have a loving home and we can visit.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. That is one lucky dog. He was found in one of the worst neighborhoods in Minneapolis. The OP commented on her Facebook page that GRs are being stolen and used as bait for dog fighting rings.
