Cider is the kind of puppy who turns ordinary moments into pure joy. At just 4 months old and 27 pounds, this Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix is already full of personality, curiosity, and heart. If there’s space to run, Cider is already there, zooming around with endless energy, his paws barely keeping up with his excitement. Whether he’s splashing in a mini pool with his siblings or proudly parading around with his favorite squeaky toy, he lives every moment like it’s the best one yet. He’s got plenty of playful spunk and a little bit of sass — the kind that keeps everyone laughing. Cider loves toys, nibbles on just about anything he can find, and even has a special talent for untying shoelaces. His goofy antics and expressive personality make him the star of every moment. But beneath all that fun is a sweet, affectionate pup who melts right into you when it’s time to settle down. After the adventures wind down, he’s happiest curled up beside you, soaking up every cuddle he can get. Cider walks well on a leash, enjoys meeting new people, and gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. He’s social, loving, and eager to be part of whatever his family is doing. With his big heart, playful spirit, and just the right touch of sass, Cider isn’t just a puppy — he’s the perfect little companion waiting to grow up right by your side. 🐶💛✨ Cider is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application.
