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.

He loves kids but should not be around small children until he has some training. Yadi is currently recuperating from a bout of pneumonia so it will be several weeks before he is cleared for adoption.

He is an absolute sweetheart who will smother you with kisses. Ben knows some basic commands, is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and is good with other dogs. Athough not fully grown yet, Ben weighs under 50 lbs. and will probably be a small male. He was rescued from a shelter in the Springfield area. One of Ben's littermates, a female, died from pneumonia while at this shelter. A kind-hearted Animal Control Officer in a nearby town rescued Ben and took him to the shelter where she worked. Ben also had pneumonia when he was rescued; but with good veterinary care, he was nursed back to health. Ben would make a wonderful companion for any family that will provide him with the love and attention he has been lacking for the first 10 months of his life!

Blitz
Name: Blitz Sex: Male Age: 6 Yrs 6 Mos Status:  Adopted: 9/25/2008 Arrival Date:  Altered: Neutered Shots: Up To Date Heartworm: Negative House Trained: Yes Good With Kids: Yes Good With Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: No Crate Trained: Unknown Color: Light Brown Energy: Unknown 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.
