Story
6FT WOOD FENCE REQUIRED – NO EXCEPTIONS. NO APARTMENTS.
(Gypsy is a homebody who isn't ready to be your hiking or camping buddy. Read on to learn why this sweet girl might still be the perfect pup for you!)
Meet Gypsy – The Golden with a Heart of Gold
Gypsy is a gentle, soulful girl who marches to the beat of her own drum. She’s not your typical Golden Retriever—and she’s proud of it! Gypsy says, “Why be ordinary when you can be uniquely wonderful?”
She’s playful in her own way, especially when tossing around stuffed animals, and loves nothing more than relaxing at home with her people. While she has joyful bursts of energy, she's just as happy to snooze the day away in a cozy corner of the house.
A Cozy Companion, Not an Adventure Dog
If you’re looking for a hiking buddy or an adventurous sidekick, Gypsy’s not your girl. At least, not right now. She’s a total homebody. Walks and car rides are still pretty overwhelming for her, and she finds comfort and confidence in familiar surroundings.
She absolutely needs a 6-foot tall, secure wood fence (not chain link) and cannot live in an apartment or townhouse. This is non-negotiable. Gypsy isn’t comfortable leaving the house from the front door, but she adores hanging out in the backyard with people or other calm dogs.
Sometimes, she’ll need help being lifted into a car (she weighs about 75 lbs), so her adopter should be physically able to assist her when needed.
She’s Not a Social Butterfly—At First
Gypsy has been sweet to every person she’s met, including kids, but she doesn’t always give instant affection. When meeting new people, especially outside, she may seem aloof or distracted. The world is big and sometimes a little scary, and she’s still learning to feel safe in it.
But once inside, where she feels more secure, she transforms into the affectionate, Velcro Golden people dream of. She’ll follow you from room to room, offer quiet companionship, and sneak in those soulful looks that melt your heart.
Dog-Friendly, with Boundaries
She’s done well with other dogs and has enjoyed their company, but she does like her toys a lot. She’s best paired with a pup who isn’t too into toys or is polite enough to let her claim them as her own royal treasures.
Big Progress, Still Growing
Gypsy came into rescue unfamiliar with life inside a home, but she’s made amazing progress. She wasn’t potty trained when she arrived, but hasn’t had a single accident since November—even during a weekend stay at a new foster home!
Gypsy has come a long way and is ready to keep blossoming in a patient, loving home that understands she may always prefer the couch to the trail and the backyard over the dog park. If you’re someone who values quiet companionship, gentle affection, and watching a shy dog come out of her shell, Gypsy might just be your heart dog.
