Golden Retriever Mix: An adopted dog in Jacksonville, FL

"Well, I certainly never thought it would happen to me!! Can you believe it, I am so lovely, sweet and beautiful yet I ended up in a shelter??? It was a real shocker to me and boy, was I ever scared!! it was noisy and hot in there and I had to share my run with other dogs so it was also very crowded but then, the lady from GREAT took one look at me, gave me a treat which I took ever so gently and she said, "Come on Stella, let's blow this place" and we did-Yea!!!!! You see, I was not claimed by my owner but I know that is probably best for me because now I can have a GREAT loving family who will love and care for me forever and---never let me get lost again!! As you can see from my picture, I am very pretty with a lovely light Golden coat and lots of nice feathers. I have very nice house manners-no pottying, jumping on furniture or counter surfing for me!! I adore carrying stuffed toys around in my mouth all the ...

I have very nice house manners-no pottying, jumping on furniture or counter surfing for me!! I adore carrying stuffed toys around in my mouth all the time and my other favorite thing is being petted by everyone and anyone. I am very, very calm which means I enjoy a "quiet night at home watching TV" with my people and really don't want to share them or my toys with any other pets. It's more fun being an "only" because that way, I get all the goodies and attention-pretty smart, huh?? The Vet says I am five years old, heartworm negative, current on all vaccinations, been wormed and spayed. Now all I need is my very own family who will love me forever. Older children are fine with me-I love it when they pet me but just a couple would work too."
