Description
Dog Breed: Golden Retriever (medium coat). CHUCKY is available! Chucky is a special dog needing a special home. He is a handsome, active, five-year-old Golden Retriever that is not yet neutered, but AGR will have that done soon. Chucky is a playful dog that loves balls and fetch. He has never lived with other dogs or cats, and loves to be with people - but can be unpredictable and overly-protective if he feels threatened. He is very strong and not well leash-trained, but once he starts walking, he calms down. Chucky requires very dog-savvy, experienced adopters with NO children and NO pets and who are willing to work patiently with him. He is fine with meeting other dogs socially, but he can be pushy with a “short fuse" if other dogs invade his space. Neutering may help that considerably. He has been placed on fluoxitene (doggie prozac) to see if that will help take the edge off his reactivity. Chucky has been evaluated by two behaviorists who both feel there is a lot of potential there for Chucky to become a better canine citizen with the proper handling and professional training. AGR will pay for a professional Board and Train program once an adopter is found who is able and willing to attend the required follow up lessons and follow all instructions. We believe Chucky is worth the effort, because 99.9% of the time he is such a terrific dog.

All potential fosters and adopters must fill out an application, pay an application fee and have a home visit in order to be considered for any dog.

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.
