Adopt a Golden Retriever / Mixed (long coat)

Mikey – Male – 1.5 years - GRRALL #0644

Update 12/10/2017:   We are so happy Mikey is in a wonderful foster home, and in just one week has made great progress.  He is a bit wary but will allow himself to be petted.  He likes to be in close proximity to his foster Mom, at her feet, or next to her, or underneath her side of the bed.  He hasn’t yet agreed to take treats directly from his foster parents, but does have a good appetite, which is always a great sign.  Mikey gets along well with his nine-pound canine foster brother, and they have started to play together.  Mikey has had no accidents in the house or problems outside.   Mikey is in a good place and we are all so hopeful he will learn to trust again and become more comfortable around humans.

Update 11/19/2017:  

We are looking for a home for Mikey with another dog to show him the ropes and people who are home often to bond with.

Mikey is in a foster home and doing great but his foster mom feels he will do best with another dog in the house, a confident dog who can show Mikey what it is to be a loved and adored permanent family member.

Mikey is one year old and about 40lbs. He is completely house-broken and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate at night with the door shut and he ha
ngs out in his crate for a few hours during the day with the door open. He has not displayed any destructive behavior, amazing for such a young dog who has already been through so much. Mikey is still adjusting to life outside the shelter and is a bit fearful. He LOVES being outside and is quite the happy fellow when out in nature. He is still quite terrified of the leash so for now he needs a home with a year and very patient humans who can help him overcome his fear of the leash so he can enjoy walks and trips out in the car.

Mikey came to us as a stray from a local shelter. He’s a smaller guy at just around 40 lbs. He’s in good health and heartworm negative. Mikey is a shy boy who was absolutely terrified at the shelter and seems to have no experience with a leash. He needs a calm, quiet home with people who can show him patience and gentleness as he learns to trust humans. We suspect that with love and time he will blossom into a loyal and loving companion. GRRALL has seen many dogs like Mikey come into rescue afraid and uncertain and then absolutely transform once they feel safe and learn that humans can be trusted. 

Mikey is currently in need of a foster home. Can you help him become the dog he’s meant to be? Due to Mikey’s timid nature, we are looking for a home with no children, please.
