DENALI - GOLDEN RETRIEVER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Golden Retriever. Meet Denali, 7yo boy, Golden retriever and a very good boy! Denali is 1000% golden. Velcroed to your leg, happy to meet everyone: dogs, cats and people, loyal to a fault and stubborn as the day is long. He is happiest inside next to his humans. He would do well with another dog in the family, but is content being the only dog. He is a funny, goofy big boy full of love and loyalty. Denali was surrendered because his owner could no longer afford to care for him. He came to us with extreme allergic dermatitis and was morbidly obese (was 131 when he came to us, now 99lbs, need to lose 10-15 more lbs). He has numerous environmental and food allergies, which demand he be on a cooked diet. Now that both the thyroid and allergies issues are being addressed, he is happy and full of pep. He knows basic commands, but in true golden fashion, he ignores them. He loves to go for walks, but again, in true golden fashion, on his terms. He is the dog you see on Instagram that lays down at the dog park refusing to leave. He is currently on a homecooked diet to address allergies, takes thyroid medication twice daily and is on Benadryl twice daily. He also needs hypoallergic baths every other week. The right family will be adopting a wonderful dog, that brings laughter and love into your home.
