Story
Gatsby is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever & Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as golden as his fur. Rescued just in time from a shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia, Gatsby's past is a mystery—but one thing is clear: he was once someone's beloved companion. His intelligence and well-mannered behavior suggest he received training from an early age. Gatsby is calm, gentle, and incredibly polite. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and wait and patiently sits for treats without a fuss. He’s not much of a barker and remains composed even in new environments or around strangers. He adores human affection and will melt into your touch, always ready to soak up love and cuddles. While Gatsby is sweet with people, he's more of a solo explorer when it comes to other dogs. He prefers his own company over rowdy playtime and would thrive as the only dog in a home. If another pup challenges him, he may react, so a peaceful, single-dog household would be best for him. This handsome gentleman walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is ready to settle into home life. He may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, but with patience and love, he will blossom into the loyal, graceful companion he was meant to be. If you understand the loving, devoted nature of Retrievers and are ready to give Gatsby the forever home he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless affection and unwavering loyalty. Gatsby is waiting for a family to love him forever—could it be you?

She was great about staying on course and was easily redirected when needed. She dodged puddles on the trail like a pro but enjoyed a dip in the steam to cool off. Samantha was friendly with the other dogs but was happy to walk independently. She wasn’t reactive to cars, dogs, or people. Samantha would make a great adventure buddy"!

Story
, my dog is 8 years old. She has really bad separation anxiety, so she needs someone who's home all the time. She has a weak bladder, so someone with a yard is also best. She's a sweetheart and she loves to cuddle and loves to give kisses. She will follow you around the house if you allow her to. She is leash trained, but if she sees another dog, she might bark.

Mitzy is so beautiful and is so much fun.  She really loves people and is fine with children, but does not get along with some other dogs.  We think she is okay with cats.  Sweet Mitzy is housetrained.  She does get anxious when crated for long periods at a time.  But she would make a wonderful companion and would really love to be your new best friend ##1854218##
