Oh sweet, pretty Goldie, what a darling! She is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 33 pounds.

Meet Goldie, a gentle and loving girl who is searching for her forever home. Sadly, Goldie was shot in her back hip area, within 2 hours of her arriving at the rescue, she was at one of our wonderful veterinarians getting the care she needed. Goldie is safe now and she is ready to leave her fears behind and embrace a new life with a loving family. She did have to be shaved down for surgery (she was also all matted), except for the little poof on her head, which makes us all laugh! She is so darn sweet and loves to be close to you, especially if she can lay across your lap. She does have more of a timid, insecure nature, but once she feels safe and loved, she connects quickly. She loves to carry a ball around in her mouth, it is super cute. Goldie is extremely hand-shy though and will need patience and time to build trust and confidence. Goldie seeks closeness and physical touch from her people, and her adopter should be prepared to provide a safe and secure environment to help her feel protected and cherished. We do feel Goldie is a flight risk until she fully bonds with her new family, so a containment plan is essential to keep her safe. With the right support and dedication, Goldie will flourish and have the life she deserves. If you have the time, patience, and love to give, Goldie promises to be a devoted friend who will bring joy and love into your life. Are you the one to help Goldie write her new chapter? She will need a home where any children are at least 13 years old with her shy nature.

If you are interested in Goldie and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!
