Story

We are looking to find a new home for our sweet 5-year-old dog. He is a Golden Retriever / Cocker Spaniel mix (AKA "Sport Retriever"). Coloring is all black with a white tuft on his chest. He is a very sweet, cuddly dog who is house-trained, crate-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. The reason we are rehoming him is that he gets nervous around our young children. He has never shown aggression, but he is skittish and anxious around toddlers. With adults or children over around age 7, he is extremely comfortable and loves pets and cuddling. We don't think his quality of life in our household is as good as it could be elsewhere. He loves being around people and does struggle with being left alone for long periods, so he would do best with someone who is home during the day, or at the very least not away for extended time. We aren't asking for an adoption fee; we just want to find him a home where he can be comfortable and happy. Please message me if you are interested.

Story

Luke is 2 years old and spent his life on a farm, living outdoors with his brother. He came to us suddenly due to the family moving. He is very sweet and cuddles next to you. He loves to jump up but is gentle. Did great with our kids and his brother, who we also took in. After a couple days we’ve noticed that he seems to be more suited to be an only dog. Luke does very well when it’s just him. Looking for a family to take him and give him all the love.
