DESCRIPTION
Goldie would love to be your girl!
This loyal lovebug was heartbroken when her one and only owner had to hand her over to the shelter. Unfortunately her human fell on hard times and it was no longer feasible to live out of a car with Goldie and her siblings.
Upon entering her foster home Goldie bonded with her caretaker immediately. She is definitely a people pup and wonderful companion. Goldie loves going for walks. , but she is also fine to stay in and sit on your lap. House and crate training are still a work in progress, but her leash skills are quite good. Goldie is 2 years and 15lbs, but she could probably stand to gain a few. This girl isn’t a huge fan of treats or really any kind of eats. She definitely needs some enticing when it comes to meal time. Goldie has lived with other small dogs without an issue, and we do not know if she ever lived with cats. If you think you could be this girl’s forever family email jones4318@gmail.com today!
