About Mya

Meet Mya, a sweet and mildly shy five-year-old Golden Retriever who’s looking for her forever home. As a retired breeding dog, she appreciates a gentle routine and loves being around people, although she prefers calm, quiet environments. Mya enjoys walks but can get startled by loud noises, so a little patience as she finds her footing is key. Mya thrives on companionship and feels safest in her crate, which she uses as her personal retreat. She's house-trained and adores rolling on her back in the grass, finding joy in simple pleasures like Nylabones and time spent in the yard. This lovely lady requires a home where she can be the only dog, as she wasn't the best at sharing space with other adult dogs in her previous environment. Because she still has some adjustment to make, she would benefit from a family that is home often to provide her with the attention and supervision she needs. Mya is great with older kids, bringing a warm, gentle presence into any household. If you think Mya’s the right fit for your family, she's waiting for you in Mchenry, IL. What are you waiting for?
