** PLEASE NOTE ABOUT GOLDIE Goldie is unfortunately being returned to our rescue through absolutely no fault of her own. After recently learning she will need ACL surgery, her adopter is no longer in a position to financially manage the upcoming medical care while also navigating a change in housing circumstances. This decision was not made lightly, and we appreciate her adopter being honest about what they can realistically provide for her moving forward. Goldie deserves stability, comfort, and the chance to heal properly with a family committed to seeing her through recovery and beyond. We will be getting her back into our care and making sure she receives the support and medical attention she needs while we search for the right long-term placement for her. ** Hi, I'm Goldie My hobbies include: Collecting squeaky tennis balls like tiny treasures Following you around the house for quality control Elite-level lounging Car rides with the windows cracked just right "Oookies" (that's treats, but I prefer the fancy term) I'm a sweet Labrador girl with a huge heart and a gentle soul. I can be pretty skittish at first and I'm slow to trust new people, but once you're "my person," I'm incredibly loyal, loving, and attached to you. I'm the kind of dog that's absolutely worth the patience it takes to earn my trust. I do great with other dogs and cats, and I'd thrive in a calmer home without young children. My dream home would have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and someone who's home more often than not, I really just want companionship, stability, and love. I'm looking for someone patient, kind, and understanding who will let me settle in at my own pace... plus maybe keep a steady supply of squeaky tennis balls and oookies available at all times.
