Story
Meet Chief, a 6-month-old Golden Retriever puppy who is ready to join his forever family! He absolutely loves cuddles and will fall into you with affection. He is also very affectionate and friendly!
Chief is dog, cat, and kid-friendly, making him the perfect addition to many households. He could potentially do well with small children (5+), provided the adopter is committed to continue training him not to jump and the kids understand how to respect a dog's boundaries. He doesn’t realize his size and will sit on his corgi foster brother all the time! He's very active and loves playing with his dog friends all day.
He is house and crate trained, and he's not destructive inside or outside the house. He only barks when he hears other dogs and is very comfortable sleeping in both his bed and crate. While he does jump on people, we’re working on it. Chief walks well on a leash and likes to stay close to his human, so there's very little pulling. He's an ideal running or hiking partner and rides well in the car.
This clever pup knows how to "sit," responds to his name, and loves retrieving his toys. He enjoys toys, dogs, and humans alike. Although he doesn't destroy stuffed toys, he has a habit of hoarding them, always wanting whatever toys the other dogs have—never aggressive, just sneaky lol!
Chief would thrive in a home with other dogs to play with, but he also cherishes time with his people. His foster describes him as one of the most well-behaved puppies she’s ever had! Chief would be great to take to work and, although he isn't an escape artist, an active home with a fenced yard would be ideal.
When his fosters leave the house, Chief is okay, but having dog friends would make him even happier. Chief loves to hang with his people on the couch or bed!
Chief is so ready to join his forever family and is excited to bring joy and companionship into his new home!
