Raleigh's Story

** This dog is not in the direct care of HTHH - we are assisting in rehoming him from his current owner. If you are interested in him, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform **<br/><br/> Meet Raleigh <br/>Breed: Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees mix<br/>Age: ~1 year<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Color: Tan<br/><br/>Raleigh is a smart, affectionate, and highly trainable young dog who is deeply bonded to his people. In his home and with those he knows, he is sweet, obedient, and loving. He enjoys snuggling on the couch, belly rubs, and quietly entertaining himself with toys or chews-though he's always happy to rest his head on your lap when he wants a little extra attention.<br/><br/>Raleigh is fully house trained and even rings a bell at the door when he needs to go outside. He has excellent house manners overall and responds well to cues like "leave it." He is comfortable being crated, settles well, and can be crated for several hours while his people are away. He is quiet when left alone and does not bark excessively.<br/><br/>This is a dog who thrives on structure, routine, and training. Raleigh has been working consistently with a professional trainer at Puget Hound since late November and currently knows Sit, Come, Heel, Place, and Stay. He trains daily, is food-motivated, and responds very well to guidance. With continued training and management, he has shown steady progress-especially in learning how to redirect frustration appropriately by choosing toys instead of unwanted behaviors.<br/><br/> With Other Dogs:<br/>Raleigh does very well with other dogs and enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes. He attends dog daycare twice a week, goes to the dog park regularly, and has boarded successfully. He has not shown aggression toward other dogs and tends to be submissive if another dog becomes pushy.<br/><br/> With People:<br/>Raleigh is protective and wary of strangers, especially when they approach or interact with his people. He will bark and can become reactive with unfamiliar individuals. Slow, structured introductions using his "Place" command have been successful, and he settles once he understands the situation. Because of this, Raleigh needs an experienced, dog-savvy home that is committed to continued training and proper management. A home without frequent visitors would be ideal.<br/><br/> Ideal Home:<br/>Raleigh would do best in a quiet, structured home with confident, experienced owners who understand protective or reactive behaviors and are willing to continue professional training. A securely fenced yard is a plus, as he enjoys patrolling and relaxing outdoors. He loves car rides, though busy pedestrian areas can be overstimulating for him.<br/><br/>Raleigh is a loyal, intelligent young dog with enormous potential. With the right environment, clear boundaries, and ongoing training, he will thrive as a devoted companion to someone who understands and appreciates his protective nature.<br/><br/>Raleigh comes with all of his medical records.
