Story
As good looks go, it’s hard to improve on the lavish glamour of a Golden Retriever. But it can be done! Add some Chow Chow to the mix and you get McCallister, a butterscotch fluff nugget with floppy ears and a curl in his tail. Both classy and cute, he’s a huggable lion impersonator with a very big smile. He’s a champion networker, super friendly with dogs and people, and a strong believer in treats for every occasion. He’s up for daily jaunts and we think he’ll learn to climb stairs with the proper motivation (i.e. aforementioned treats). Looking for a happy-go-lucky guy in a gorgeous fur coat? He awaits your visit. Here are some notes from his foster: - He relishes his time outside! He happily hung out in our (small) backyard for hours at a time and seems to enjoy walks. We never heard him use his voice, but he would occasionally scratch the door to go outside, not because he had to go to the bathroom, just to hang outside. - He has a good appetite but isn’t very food motivated. He’ll eat every morsel of breakfast or dinner, but doesn’t beg for food and is only moderately interested in treats (very pro peanut butter though). - He’s an excellent couch snuggle buddy, though he has been timid about getting on and off the couch and might benefit from a ramp. I think he’s quite capable of getting up and down on his own, but might not be used to doing so. - He gets excited to see and meet other dogs. We’ve found him to be pretty calm when engaging with other pups, but only had a small sample size. He might benefit from some additional leash training just because he is so eager to hang out with other pups. - He’s potty trained, reliably goes to the bathroom while on walks, and is great at self-regulating. - McCallister does pretty well in the car too! He gets curious about what’s going on outside and with the driver/passenger, but doesn’t seem at all phased by being in the car. - Not a big fan of wood floors, but he was adjusting to ours over time. In short, he is a gem!

Bongo

Golden Retriever Australian Shepherd

Male, Senior
Walnut Creek, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bongo is a rescue from the streets of Mexico City who came with us when we relocated for work. When he was first found, he was in poor condition, very fearful, and carried a lot of trauma. Over time, he has gained confidence, and it now seems like those traumas are behind him. Bongo is a cuddly dog who loves being at home, laying down, and getting pets. He is protective and will bark if something seems suspicious. His energy level is low-to-medium (he used to be very active), and although he has slowed down with age, he still enjoys his daily walks and absolutely loves running off-leash and playing fetch. He is good with kids and prefers to be the only dog in the home. While he has lived with other dogs before, it takes him time to adjust. He can be reactive around large dogs but has no history of aggression. Bongo is the perfect companion for a relaxing day at home, a long walk, or even a hike. He is fully potty trained and eats on his own schedule

Story
Sammy is an amazing and resilient 3-year-old Golden Retriever. He is a very loving Golden to those who know and love him. Sammy is currently enrolled in an extended board-and-train program designed to help de-escalate reactivity with dogs, address home barriers, and manage interactions with strangers. He has really done well after 6 months, building confidence and reducing his reactivity to men and dogs. Sammy now has a pack of five doggie friends he plays with regularly. We have weaned him off the Reconcile, and his Golden personality is really beginning to shine through. Sammy's extensive training is really showing what Sammy's potential can be when loved and cared for daily. He will need an experienced owner who can provide consistent reinforcement and meet his needs. If you are interested, we can coordinate a call with his trainer to learn more. Sammy is being fostered in San Jose.
