Story
Booker has not yet been tested with cats or children.
Hi there! My name is Booker, but my humans often call me Books or Booger. I'm an eight-month-old male golden retriever, and I weigh a solid 70 pounds. Let me tell you my story from the moment I was rescued.
One of the first things you'll notice about me is my friendly and sociable nature. Meeting other dogs has always been a breeze for me. I greet them with a wagging tail and a playful spirit, ready for a new furry friend. However, my interactions with cats are still a mystery. It's uncertain if I have a knack for getting along with them, but I'm definitely willing to give it a try!
When it comes to children, I've proven myself to be a gentle and patient companion. I'm great with kids aged seven and up, although I haven't had the chance to be around younger ones yet. I have a loving and playful nature, so I'm sure I would adapt well to a household with little ones.
I'm currently in the process of learning some essential skills. Leash walking and getting comfortable in my harness are a work in progress. I'm a smart boy, though, and with some patient guidance, I'm sure to become an expert at these tasks in no time.
My humans have provided me with a cozy crate, but I must admit I'm not a fan of using it. I feel more secure and relaxed when I have the freedom to roam around the house. Luckily, my house training is going quite well. I rarely have accidents, but if I'm left alone for too long, I might have one or two mishaps. I'm just a young pup, after all, and sometimes nature calls!
There's nothing I love more than cuddling up with my humans. I'm a big fan of affection, and I'll shower you with love and paw-holds whenever you want. Oh, and did I mention my obsession with face cloths and towels? I have a knack for carrying them around like prized possessions. It's my little quirk that always brings smiles to everyone's faces.
When it comes to my vocal tendencies, I'm not much of a barker. I prefer to express myself through my wagging tail and my soulful eyes. Sudden movements, however, startle me a bit. I'm still getting used to the world and all its surprises, so a calm and patient environment is ideal for me.
My energy levels are what you might call medium. I'm content napping under a desk while my humans work, but I also have bursts of energy that send me zooming around the backyard. A good balance of playtime and relaxation is what keeps me happy and content.
Now, let's talk about treats. Unlike some dogs, I'm not particularly food motivated. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy a tasty treat now and then, but my love for you and our shared adventures is what truly fuels my spirit.
I'm a rescue dog with a heart full of love and gratitude. I'm eager to find a forever home where I can be a loyal companion, a cuddle buddy, and a source of joy. If you're looking for a playful, friendly, and affectionate furry friend, I just might be the perfect match for you. Let's embark on this journey together, and I promise to bring endless tail wags and paw-holds into your life!
