MEET GOLDIE!

This sweetheart of a dog is approximately 3 years old and weighs in at a petite 40ish pounds. Surrendered by her family when they could no longer care for her, Goldie found herself in several short-term living situations before catching the eye of an experienced foster parent affiliated with Tara’s House. Smitten by her sweet looks and reputation for being very dog-friendly, the foster agreed to add her to her pack.  

Goldie is initially a little reserved with new people, but has shown repeatedly that once you gain her trust she will adore you with abandon. She loves to play with toys, but her favorite pastime is following around and snuggling with her humans. Excitable and eager to play, Goldie’s energy needs to match another dog’s style of play because she doesn’t always get the hint that she’s giving too much love away. She does well on a leash with an experienced handler and is very eager to learn - especially if you reward her with treats! 

Goldie is at the age where she’s well beyond the crazy puppy years, but has a long way to go before she’s in her golden years. She is a young dog that’s full of life and love. She is affectionate, pretty and playful. Not without her quirks, she will keep you laughing and on your toes (she has a foot fetish). She is not destructive in the house and prefers not to be crated (although can be if needed.) 

She would be a wonderful family dog for a family that has someone home most of the time so she can be the shadow she craves to be, as well as receive the structure and consistency that she needs. Little people are fascinating to her, but like with other dogs that she wants to play with she gets really excited and can knock them down. Because of this unbridled enthusiasm, we recommend she go to a home with kids over the age of 12. She does well with other dogs, but cats are an unknown (she may do just fine with them!)
