My story

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

I was found wandering around Northwest Georgia all alone, with no place to call home. I ended up in a place called an animal shelter. Thank goodness the shelter people took good care of me and arranged for AGA to come and bring me to the orphan place to help find a family! What a lucky break!
They call me a mostly flat coated retriever and I am around one year old. Besides having a handsome coat of thick, shiny black hair, I am very strong and described as being pure muscle! I have been staying with some wonderful trainers to help me be the best Olson ever since no one ever took the time to teach me! I have learned a lot and am quite good at my basic commands if I do say so myself! I love the challenge of learning. My trainer friends say I thrive on structure and I am a "working dog" because I need lots of physical and mental stimulation. But after all of that I do enjoy a good belly run and laying across your feet for a nap. I need a fenced yard, people that don’t leave the doors open where I can slip out and older kids or adults only. Little kids make me anxious. I've learned so much with my trainers and Adopt a Golden, now I just need to find that special place to call home and people to call mine!
