Story
Gold was rescued alongside his abandoned mother. After being adopted as a puppy and later returned, he developed a fear of people. Having spent a long time in the shelter, his fear of humans was significant, but once he opens his heart, he becomes a loving and affectionate lap dog. Gold is waiting for a special family who can help him feel safe and loved, just like a little lion cub!
Gold may need some time to adjust at first, but once he feels comfortable, he becomes very affectionate and loves to sit on laps. He also becomes more active and playful once he’s settled in. He gets along well with other dogs and has no problems with their company. However, he does chase cats, so he may not be the best fit for a home with feline friends.
Gold is outdoor potty trained and is currently in crate training. He has an average energy level and enjoys walks, doing well with a collar. He is a bit shy and will need patience to build trust, but he can be touched and handled once he feels secure. He tends to bark when unfamiliar people come to the house, but this is just his way of alerting his family. If forced to be taken, Gold will back away, so a gentle, patient approach is best.
Gold has no appetite issues and enjoys his meals. He doesn't destroy items but does enjoy tearing up toys or leaves. While it would be beneficial for Gold to have a yard, he can adapt to living in an apartment, as long as he has enough space and regular exercise.
Gold was born to a mother who was rescued from an illegal puppy mill. He was adopted as a puppy but later returned, which caused trauma and fear of people. Despite his past, Gold is ready for a fresh start and a loving family who can give him the time, attention, and care he needs.
Gold is a sweet, shy dog who just needs a little time and understanding to become the loving companion he was always meant to be. Could you be the one to give Gold the second chance he deserves? ❤️
