Goldens are wonderful dogs. However, they are predisposed to several condition including ear infections, hot spots and excessive shedding. They need lots of exercise and attention. Without this, they often resort to other means to get attention, such as eating your slippers or digging in your garden. They can be trained to be excellent companions and excel in obedience. An adoption of a rescued Golden Retriever is a lifetime commitment to your new dog. We want both of you to be thrilled with each other and will be happy to help in any way to insure this.
