Description
Dog Breed: Golden Retriever (long coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Meet Rocky, a stunning 3-year-old Golden Retriever with a big personality and even bigger potential! Weighing 75 pounds, Rocky is a high-energy boy looking for an active, dog-savvy family to help him grow into the amazing companion we know he can be. He thrives on attention and activity, so a securely fenced yard and plenty of time for play and exercise are an absolute must. Rocky is currently in a boarding facility, where he’s been working with a trainer. His trainer says he seems to be pretty easygoing with different kinds of people, but he does need an assertive, experienced handler for walks, as he is extremely strong and could pull someone off their feet if not managed properly. Rocky is still learning his manners so he’ll need consistent training and patient guidance to understand boundaries and expectations. He’s shown friendly interest in the daycare dogs he sees through the fence, particularly those who are not intact, but he has not yet been tested with other dogs or cats, so any introductions should be done slowly and carefully. We are not recommending a home with children at this time, as we have no history of him living with kids and he could accidentally knock them over. Rocky is also heartworm positive and cannot be neutered until he completes treatment, making a foster or foster-to-adopt home the ideal environment for him right now. With structure, consistent training, and lots of love, Rocky is ready to become the well-mannered, loyal, and fun Golden we know he can be. If you’re ready to help this energetic boy thrive, apply today!

Overview:
The Golden Retriever, a beloved breed originating from the Scottish Highlands in the mid-19th century, was developed for retrieving game from land and water. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs known for their striking golden-colored coats, ranging from cream to dark gold, which are dense and water-repellent. Their gentle eyes and friendly smiles are as characteristic as their feathered tails and strong, well-proportioned bodies. Temperamentally, Golden Retrievers are celebrated for their amiable, intelligent, and devoted nature, making them exceptionally patient and tolerant companions. This makes them superb family dogs, typically great with children and other pets, though their need for space and exercise means they are generally less suited for apartment living. While generally robust, they are prone to certain health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and eye conditions, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their long-term well-being.
