Golden Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Introducing Butterscotch, a 5.5-month-old golden retriever mix who is equal parts sugar, spice, and full-speed ahead. At 16 pounds, he’s currently in his “fun-sized” era, but don’t let the compact packaging fool you—this boy is rich, creamy, and absolutely impossible to resist.

Butterscotch is sweet and social, the kind of pup who assumes everyone he meets is a new best friend. He’s young, enthusiastic, and still polishing his gentleman skills, which means he’ll thrive with a family ready to invest in his training. Think of him as a delightful work in progress: the foundation is flawless, we just add guidance and watch him turn into gold.

He does play a little rough, but he prefers to call it “committed to the bit.” Butterscotch loves playmates who can match his energy and appreciate his all-in approach to fun. Tug of war? He’s bringing the intensity. Zoomies? He’s clocking personal bests. After the action winds down, he’s all melty sweetness again.

Butterscotch is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. If you’re ready for a puppy who will keep life interesting, keep you laughing, and absolutely stick to your heart, Butterscotch is ready to swirl into your world.
