Golden Retriever Mix: A dog with an adoption pending in Jacksonville, FL

" Well, look at ME!! I never thought it could happen but I found myself in a shelter, of all places. I was getting pretty discouraged when all of a sudden I heard, 'Come on Denver, time to go with the GREAT lady!" You can imagine my surprise when I walked out and she was standing there with a beautiful clean leash and collar, put them on me and took me directly to her car. Just couldn't believe that this was my LUCKY day! But it was because I became a GREAT dog!!! Let me tell you a little about myself. As you can see from my pictures, I am stunning. I have a beautiful thick and flowing coat, soft, dark eyes, a long fluffy tail and shorter legs. I have what they call in dog speak, a soft mouth which means I take things very gently and hold them softly in my mouth-you know like if I was out with my master who liked to hunt and I had to retrieve a bird! Well, of course, I don't do that now because I'm a city ...

Well, of course, I don't do that now because I'm a city boy but I sure do love to carry around big rawhide chews whenever I am running in the yard.with my Foster Mom's Bernese Mountain dogs-all four of them!!! This is really paradise-life is good for sure but I'd love to have my own family. Well, let me tell you more about my health-it's really very good. I have all of my vaccinations, been neutered and through heart worm treatment, have no worms and the Vet says I am amazingly healthy. I am about 3-4 years old and may be a mix because I have shorter legs and cute big front feet but I sure look Golden everywhere else and certainly have a Golden heart and personality. This gives me lots of character and makes me extra special. Right now, though, I am waiting for my very own home which needs to have a nice fenced yard so I can be with my very own family. I'd love to be with another big dog, especially a girl so we can run and play together. I love playing outside but inside the house is where I want to be. I'm good too-no counter surfing, sleeping on the sofa or pottying on the floor-can't get much better than that. It would also be fun to have some older children around to play with and smooch.
