Everyone tells me what a gorgeous girl I am, but somehow that does not fuel my self-confidence. You see, my first home was with a commercial breeder where I had little contact with anything outside my kennel. When I went to live at my AGaG foster home everything was new to me. There were so many scary sounds and sights that I just stayed curled up in the corner of the couch and only left my spot to eat when no one was looking. Over time, I learned a lot from watching and interacting with my three foster siblings. I am slowly discovering that being a dog can be fun! I enjoy being rewarded with something yummy called “cookies”, car rides, running at the park and cuddling with my foster mom before bed. I even wag my tail at the sound of my name!
I still need patient understanding of my shy and reserved demeanor, slow introductions to new situations, and a family who will delight in the progress I make in baby steps. My forever home will need a fenced yard and at least one other dog to be my mentor and help me expand my golden world. I may never be your typical golden with that social, loving personality, but I am still a very sweet girl. So, you get the hint, right? I am a fearful dog so if you have experience with dogs like me, that is a plus. Are you ready to help me continue my transition? Then I may be just the girl for you!

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.
