Fondue didn’t choose his name, but it couldn’t be more fitting—because the moment you pick him up, this little guy melts into your arms like warm, gooey cheese. At just 15 weeks old and 12 pounds of pure puppy love, Fondue is a Golden Retriever-Eskimo mix with a heart as golden as his fur. Fondue is all things wonderful about puppies—curious, playful, affectionate, and just mischievous enough to keep life interesting. He’s learning the ropes of house training (with the occasional oops!), discovering the art of leash-walking (jury’s still out on that one), and perfecting his favorite skill: making humans fall in love with him. A Day in the Life of Fondue 8:00 AM – Wake up! If no one else is up, he’ll stay quiet, but the second he hears movement, he’s ready for action. First stop: potty break in the backyard! 8:30 AM – Breakfast time! Fondue eats his morning meal and then enjoys some playtime with his big foster brother (an 80-pound hound who he firmly believes is his equal in size). Wrestling, zoomies, and toy chewing commence! Mid-morning – After burning off some puppy energy, it’s time for a nap or quiet play. If his humans need to leave for a bit, Fondue goes into his crate with a treat and settles down after just a few minutes. 1:00-2:00 PM – Lunchtime… or maybe not. Fondue’s not always interested in a midday meal, so he might just opt for a few bites before heading back to play mode. Afternoon Adventures – More playtime with his foster sibling, chewing on (approved!) toys, and occasionally getting into mischief. He also enjoys staring out the window, barking at his own reflection, and investigating every corner of the house. 7:00 PM – Dinner time! After eating, he gets another potty break and then spends the evening either snuggling or playing—depending on his mood. If you’re sitting down, expect him to curl up with you. 9:30-10:00 PM – Bedtime! Fondue is crated for the night and, like a good boy, holds it until morning. No accidents in his crate so far! Why You’ll Love Fondue He melts in your arms when you hold him—seriously, he just sinks into you. He’s goofy and sweet, barking at his own reflection and stealing hearts wherever he goes. He’s a social pup who adores people and other dogs, making him a great addition to a playful home. He’s working hard on house training and learning the rules (even if he sometimes “forgets” when a shoe looks particularly chewable). Fondue would thrive in a loving home with people who will shower him with attention, play with him, and help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. He’d love a canine sibling to wrestle with, older kids to dote on him, and a warm lap to curl up in at the end of the day. He’s a little pup with a big heart, a wagging tail, and a whole lifetime of love to give. Could you be the lucky one to scoop up this melty, golden boy and call him yours?Fondue is an option for a home that has had a dog. If there are children in the home they need to be over the age of 5.February 9, 2025, 3:24 pm
