About Goldie

Goldie is a beautiful 6-year-old retriever mix who traveled all the way from Azerbaijan in search of a family of her own. She is gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she's surrounded by her people. She's the kind of dog who quietly becomes a part of the family, following you from room to room and simply wanting to be nearby and smiling. If someone is home during the day, even better, because that's exactly the kind of life Goldie would love. Her foster mom describes her as an exceptional family dog with no reactivity or behavioral issues. She adores children and seems to have an instinctive, nurturing nature around them. She's incredibly patient, even with energetic little ones, calmly handling fast movements and busy play without missing a beat. Goldie gets along well with other dogs and would be happy to share her home with a canine companion. She has shown more curiosity than determination with cats, so a cat-free home or one with slow introductions would be ideal. She enjoys having a fenced yard with plenty of green space where she can wander and sniff. Off leash in a secure area is her favorite kind of outdoor hang! One of Goldie's most charming quirks is her love of music. She truly listens, tilting her head as though she's taking in every note, and when the mood strikes, she'll happily join in with her own sweet song. Goldie has survived the streets, endured countless skin surgeries, years of waiting, and more uncertainty than any dog should ever know. Now she's ready for the easy part: A yard to explore, children to watch over, a family to follow, and a soft place to sleep.

Ideal Home

Goldie would love a home where someone is present during the day and a fenced yard with plenty of green space to explore. A home without cats, or one where slow introductions can be made, would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Goldie has a history of papillomas, which were surgically removed over a six-month period at a veterinary hospital. She is now spayed and vaccinated.

Training & Support

Goldie has no known reactivity or behavioral issues. She hasn't shown a strong enjoyment for leash walks yet, but this may change with time and positive reinforcement.
