Meet dime piece the mini golden bachelor
If you’ve ever looked at a Golden Retriever and thought, “I wish you came in fun-sized,” then congratulations because Dime Piece is basically the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids version of a Golden Retriever LOL. Somehow this boy ended up with the gorgeous fluffy golden looks, sweet soulful eyes, and lovable personality everyone adores about Goldens… but in a tiny little low-rider body that weighs only 24 lbs. Honestly, it feels like someone took a full-sized Golden Retriever and accidentally hit the “mini” setting. He is ridiculously cute and fully gives you the best of both worlds. You get the adorable golden retriever aesthetic without needing a whole extra SUV row dedicated to your dog LOL.
Watch his video and prepare to ask yourself why every Golden Retriever doesn’t come in this size: https://youtu.be/bvA5V1vfH0k?si=ngFdDbiPOj4uD0fg
Dime is believed to be a Dachshund/Golden Retriever mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 24 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What we CAN guarantee is that this little guy is stupid cute and impossible not to smile at. Between the fluffy golden coat, the tiny little legs, and the fact that he genuinely looks like someone shrunk a Golden Retriever in the wash, Dime gets attention everywhere he goes.
Dime is a very sweet sensitive little guy, but he’s definitely more of a slow burn when it comes to new people and environments. He’s not the type to immediately launch himself into a stranger’s lap five seconds after meeting them. He likes a little time to observe, settle in, and realize everything is safe before fully opening up socially. But once he does? He is incredibly affectionate and becomes such a loyal little companion. There’s something really rewarding about earning Dime’s trust because once you’re in his circle, he genuinely just wants to be near you.
With other dogs, Dime has done really well and would probably thrive with a calm aloof female companion that matches his more easygoing personality. He’s not a rough-and-rowdy wrestler type of dog at all and honestly has zero interest in getting body slammed by dogs three times his size LOL. When he does play, it’s usually lighthearted little games of chase, zooming around the yard, and playful interactions that stay respectful and low pressure. He appreciates dogs that don’t immediately come in too hot and overwhelm him. Dime would also likely do best in a calmer home environment overall where he can continue building confidence at his own pace.
Dime also met our house cat and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for Dime to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
Dime is crate trained, potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and absolutely LOVES treats. Honestly, food might be the quickest way to this little man’s heart LOL. He already knows how to sit and may even know how to dance because when he gets excited enough, he’ll pop right up onto his hind legs and balance there like a tiny circus performer waiting for his snack. It is ridiculously adorable. He’s smart, eager to learn, and really blossoms with gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement.
Dime’s ideal home would be with someone patient, kind, and understanding of the fact that not every dog walks into a room acting like they own the place right away. He’s the type of dog that builds deep meaningful bonds and becomes more and more affectionate as his confidence grows. And honestly? That’s part of what makes him feel so special. Plus let’s be real… finding a pocket-sized Golden Retriever lookalike this cute feels a little unfair to every other dog on the planet LOL.
We are willing to test Dime Piece with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
