He has proven to get along well with the other dogs in his foster home, and despite his size, he doesn’t exhibit a dominant personality. He loves people…including kids, but he may be a little too big for small children. Finnegan has been exceptionally well cared for, and responds to most commands.

Once people are within his reach he quiets and just wants attention. With dogs, it takes him a little time to get comfortable with them and learn to play "nice". He sometimes goes after indoor and outdoor plants. Loves chewing sticks, playing ball and tug of war. He's a vocal dog and will let you know when someone is walking by the house. He's never had an accident in the house and never chews on furniture, etc. New message: Recently started using a bark collar on Mango. No more barking!

Biography:
Update: Nala went to the rainbow bridge today. Nala had been an outdoor dog most of her life, and tethered for the past 9 months, so we didn't know what to expect on introducing her to indoor life. Not to worry! Nala is thrilled to be enjoying the air-conditioned comfort of her foster home. She promptly adopted the futon in the den as her favorite place to sack out. For sure, being an inside dog with canine and feline siblings definitely agrees with her! Her very full blond coat had to be clipped short due to heavy matting, but Nala seems to enjoy her new hairdo. She is a very affectionate girl who seems to be everybody's best friend and is not shy about coming up for pets. She knows "sit" and "down." Does not jump up on people. Nala also walks well on a leash and is a perfect angel on rides in the car. Nala may be a senior dog, but she still has plenty of spring in her step! She had her full check up last week, and Vet said that if she hadn't seen her slightly cloudy eyes, a sign of early cataracts, common in older dogs, she'd never have guessed Nala to be 12 1/2 years old! Actually, she is quite a character, and very smart. She loves to "help" her foster dad with gardening and yard work, and is doing her best to catch a resident mole out in the back yard. Go Nala! Update: One of those wish I had the camera incidents: the other day she tried to catch a very beautiful, large butterfly out in the back yard, and she nearly got him! Hilarious. She was jumping into the air and snapping to try and get him in her teeth. Then she stuck her head through the garden fence trying to snag him off a zinnia blossom. For the right person, Nala could bring much happiness into your life.

Biography:
Update: Since little sister, Ginger, left for her forever home, Mya has grown into a confident, loving puppy. She's now a bit over 4 months old. Mya is high energy and really needs an active family that will happily walk her a couple of times a day. Mya weighs in at 37lbs now. Mya, a bit more shy around people than her little sister, has grown to 15 pounds at 10 weeks old. Mya is inquisitive, and will wander off or climb into places she shouldn't. Mya will need a yard with at least a 4ft fence and no objects that can be used as a ladder, or she'll escape. She loves snuggling on blankets and romping with her foster brothers, so she doesn't really want to escape...she just wants to follow her curiosity. Mya doesn't quite understand the notion of housetraining yet. She will run from her crate towards the backdoor, but if distracted by anything, she will stop to potty whereever she is. But that's okay. At 10 weeks old, its rare for a golden retriever to be housetrained. Mya is slower than Ginger at figuring stuff out. Using a child gate to keep the pups in the kitchen, Ginger will run around the house and go through an open door to bypass the gate, but Mya will just stop at the gate and cry. More pictures coming soon. Mya loves to chew. She will chew on anything, but her favorites are rawhide (good for the teething) and her stuffed toys. She will squeak the squeaker intentionally for a dozen minutes in a row before switching to another toy.

She understands her potty training and will go to the backdoor when she needs to go out, but her bladder is still too small for her to hold it, if you're not right there to let her out. She will resist and cry every once in a while when trying to get her to walk on a leash, but she'll relent and run happily by your side. Ginger is more intelligent that Mya.

Chance has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and takes medication to control this auto-immune disorder. His medications are not expensive, but Chance will need them permanently to prevent flareups of this disease. He also needs to stay on a hypo-allergenic food that does not contain grain. Chance has spent much of his life tethered in his previous owner's back yard with no shelter and an empty water bowl. He was picked up by animal control too many times for running loose, so the shelter called GGRR. This sweet boy is looking for a "chance" to be an inside dog with a loving family who is willing to monitor his IBS.

Biography:
Mango is an 11 month old handsome male Golden Retriever. He is good with other dogs, cats, and children. He is a very affectionate boy who loves going for rides in the car. He is scheduled for neutering 6/15/09 and should be ready for adoption once he is medically released. Mango has now been in his foster home for almost a week. In addition to what has already been posted we are pleased to add that he is not a counter surfer nor does he chew on anything other than dog toys. Much to our dismay, he does like to pull flowers out of their pots outside. He has appointed his self as the official watchdog in the house by barking at everyone and everything that nears our home. Even a drifting leaf! He's not fond of the crate so convincing him to get in is "fun". We discovered that a Kong with peanut butter usually does the trick. He's very happy to see us when we get home - time to play, play, play!

Biography:
Gabby is a very inquisitive girl. She doesn’t hesitate to see what she can find on counters, dressers, tables, etc. Her foster mom has to keep all surfaces free of clutter or else she will assume it's her chew toy. She even sits on the picnic table in the backyard. She plays very hard with the other young GR in the household. Her new owner will have to take her to obedience classes so she will learn not to jump up on people and hopefully stay off counters. They will need to be consistent with walks and exercise since she has a "high" energy level. Gabby is a happy-go-lucky girl.

Hunter is a sweetheart. He loves to cuddle; he loves to play; he loves his life. Hunter would be perfect for a family with kids and at least one more dog. Hunter has one bad habit. Although he will go into his crate easily when he's tired, he will bark and whine and cry for hours if he's not. As he gets older, he will probably outgrow this, but in the meantime he's perfectly happy telling the neighbors that he's locked up. But when he's out of his crate, and laying on your lap, you forget all of that.

Biography:
Blitz is a 6-1/2 year old male, who has been through some rough times over the past few months. His beloved owner had to be placed in a nursing home. Blitz's 14 year old canine companion was euthanized due to bad hips that made it too painful for him to walk. Blitz's weight ballooned to 130 lbs., and he had to be totally shaved because his coat was so matted. Blitz seems to have recovered from these traumas and is once again a happy-go-lucky Golden boy. He is now 18 lbs. lighter and his coat is growing in nicely. It would be ideal if his adoptive family would help Blitz drop another 25 lbs. It's an easy diet, and cheap, too! He eats 3/4 cup of dog food with a handful of frozen green beans tossed in twice daily--no extra treats, please! Blitz loves to swim and go for walks. He likes to fetch tennis balls and chew on nylabones. He is great with children of all ages, knows basic commands, likes to shake your hand, and will give kisses. He gets along well with the other Goldens in his foster home and would probably get along with another mellow dog. However, a home with cats would be out of the question--Blitz detests them! This affectionate boy would make a wonderful companion for a family who can provide him with plenty of love and attention.
