Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It’s Coco here! I am Lola’s sister so some of what I am going to say will be the same as Lola, but we do have our differences. I am what is called a Black Golden. I heard the Vet telling my foster mom that I am most definitely a golden/lab mix, but I look more like a golden. I have long curly black hair. The Vet said that I was around 4 months old, that I weigh 20 pounds and that I was skinny. That is about all that GRFR knows about me because I was picked up as a stray and taken to a shelter in a place where they don’t like black dogs, even black puppies. GRFR knows about this and worked really hard to get me out of there; they literally saved my life.
I am very excited about finding my forever family, so let me tell you about me. When I first came to my foster home, I was afraid to be picked up because I was scared. Now I love to snuggle and cuddle with my humans. I also love playing with my foster brother, Hurley. He is a St. Bernard and a LOT bigger than me, but he takes Lola and me outside and then we all play Crazy Dog! Another thing you need to know about me is that I smile when I am really happy. If you haven’t seen a puppy smile before, it may look scary at first because you see all of my teeth, but then you notice that my tail is wagging really fast. I usually smile when I am so glad to see my human family, like first thing in the morning or when my humans have been gone for awhile.
Being outside is one of my favorite things of all! I love exploring, picking up sticks, climbing over the rocks, and watching the magpies. As soon as my foster mom calls me to come in, I run so fast that I am almost flying. I come every single time she calls me, because I love my foster family so much and want them to be proud of me. I am quite smart and have already learned to sit, lay down, and “go potty.” Because I am Retriever on both sides, no one had to teach me to retrieve. The first time my foster mom threw a toy, I chased after it and brought it right back to her.
So, now that you know about me, you might be thinking that I would be a good match for you! I am looking for a forever family that will work with me on training and that will take me for exercise a couple times a day. Once I have had time to work off my wiggles, I am very calm inside my house. I don’t chew on anything except my bones and I don’t do any of that silly puppy biting. Because I am an older puppy, I sleep through the night. Right now I go to bed at 8 pm, get up around 7 am, and sleep through the night without a peep and usually without pottying. I learned how to use a piddle pad my very first day in my foster home. If you are thinking that I might be the one for you, please give the great GRFR folks a call…you won’t be sorry you did!
Love, Coco
