Handsome Joe is five years old and came to us from a commercial breeder. In his previous life he had very limited contact with people or life outside his kennel. He was terrified when he arrived at GRRR and is frightened and distrusting of people — and yet, just like a true Golden, he is very sweet and gentle. Joe is going to need a very special new home where he can be treated with love, patience, kindness and understanding while he learns to trust and not fear you.
It will be important for Joe to have a confident and social dog brother or sister to show him “life is good” from a dog’s point of view. His new dog companion will help him learn how to enjoy life without fear, how to play and how to socialize with other dogs. A nice yard with room to romp would be a dream come true for this sweet boy.
Joe will blossom when he realizes there are good people who will love him, be kind to him and never hurt him. Your efforts will be rewarded as he begins to relax and enjoy life. Soon a walk with you in a beautiful park will be one of the best experiences of his life and the memories of his previous life will soon fade.
