My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Payton is a beautiful 8 year old female Golden Retriever who's been kept very busy tending puppies in her past life. She weights 70 lbs., but doesn't look that big. She is determined to make the most of her chance at happiness. Calm and friendly, but not clingy, Payton is an ideal house dog. She is housebroken and hasn't had an accident.

Some breeder releases have trouble mastering basics things that most dogs seem to know instinctively. She, however, has shown great presence of mind. She goes up and down stairs like a trooper. The vet says her joints feel good. Doorways also pose a problem for some breeder girls, however Payton has also mastered this skill. She doesn't rush the door and stays when you tell her to. She will occasionally startle at household sounds, but this is minor and she recovers quickly.

Payton will need a home that allows her to snuggle on the couch with you - this is her greatest pleasure in life. Another dog would be nice, but might not be mandatory. So far she hasn't shown much interest in dog play. She is good with dogs. She is good with cats. Walks well on leash. She sleeps through the night on a dog bed. Rides well in the car. She is an easy, calm dog that is so happy to be in a home.
