My story

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

Piper is a 3 year old golden retriever that we rescued one year ago after her owner died. She is a fantastic dog. She has a strong prey drive and needs space to run in a fenced yard. She needs more attention than we can provide her. While she is good with kids, we do strongly suggest that she goes to a home with older children, as a reason we need to rehome her is because she continues to knock our toddler down. She knows basic commands, loves riding in the car, and loves all people: We continue to work on jumping on people, though this has improved. She will walk on a leash but does need additional leash training. We adore her and are heartbroken at the need to rehome her. She just deserves so much more than we can give her.
