I am a sweet natured, low energy girl that would fit right in to any home. I get along with dogs, cats and older kids. My family gave me up because I didn’t like the toddler in the home, so they wanted me to find a family that will give me all the love and attention that I deserve for my golden years.
I love to go for walks, or strolls. Sniffing everything is my favorite thing to do as we tour the neighborhood together. I greet people and kids and other dogs and have that calm demeanor that everyone loves about goldens.
I enjoys human attention but I don’t have a clingy nature. I will sometimes just go off and lay in my favorite spot for a nice nap. I enjoy chewing on my bones and will de-stuff those silly toys, but I do have two favorite ones that I pull out of the toy box and then just leave them be. Even though I am a golden retriever, I don’t fetch a tennis ball. I love to be right by you and nuzzle you and would even love to be a lap dog.
I enjoy going for rides in the car, although I need a boost up, but then I lay there and enjoy the ride. I have even been to the dog beach and had a great time seeing all the dogs and people. I get the run of the house while my foster parents are gone and never do anything to the house. I am a great houseguest. My only issue is that it would be great to have you near me when the thunderstorms go by.
I have some arthritis so stairs are a bit tough for me, I just take it slowly as I go. I also have some allergies and take a medicine called Apoquel that helps me so I don’t itch all the time. I also eat really great food to help me too. The vet also found some things on my liver that don’t seem to be a problem and I also have gall stones, but they don’t bother dogs like they do to people.
I am learning that the “golden nudge” gets me attention by anyone that is close to me. Foster mom says I am a wonderful companion and all I require from a new family is love and attention. Are you ready to have me unpack my bags and move right in to your home?
11 Year Old Female
MEET SHREDDER!
Are you looking for a sweet, petite, easy going 13 year old boy? I am a mix as you can see from my picture, my lineage is unknown, but I am very cute if I do say so myself. I am only 35 pounds and love my people. I get along with dogs and cats.
I am definitely a house dog, I will wander a bit in the big back yard, it’s just a short adventure and I come right back to the door after doing my business and will get comfy on the floor, or most likely you can find me on the couch or on the bed just relaxing. When something exciting is going on, I will bark at whatever I see. I really like my voice, so I use it a lot.
When it’s bedtime, I am the first to jump up. I really like one of the dogs on my foster home and really try to get him to play with me. My advances aren’t accepted, I even try pawing, sniffing and barking at him, but he just won’t play with me. I want to get him to play a good game of rough house with me, but again, he just looks at me and tells me no.
I like to talk walks and I am very good on leash. Sometimes if I want to go to the opposite side of my foster brother, I decide it’s much easier to just use him as my personal underpass. It’s much quicker to take the direct route.
If you are looking for a great companion, one that just wants to hang out and relax with you, then I am your guy. I will give you my paw and give you kisses to show you how much I love you.
