Description:
Dakota is your typical happy-go-lucky lug of a Golden Retriever. He loves everybody! He’s great in the house – potty trained and is not destructive. He does need to learn basic manners even though he’s only putting his paws on the counter just to see what’s going on (or maybe to help me with the dishes). He does need basic training. Dakota’s previous owner was 83 and surrendered him due to her inability to care for him. She did include his puppy picture – what a doll! He is cat and dog friendly, except he doesn’t get the signals from my two dogs which are dominant shepherd mixes. They tell him to “BACK OFF” and his response is “WHAT FOR?” He gets neutered 4/17 and that will help him out in this area.
Dakota is probably about 45-50 lbs and is full grown. His age is around 1-1/2 years and he is definitely still all boy! His fur is a mix of golden retriever and some type of terrier or maybe bouvier? He could probably gain some weight. So far I have seen no signs of begging for people food.
All Dakota wants is to be near his humans. My kids (ages 10-13) have leashed walked him. He’s curious and and does pretty well. There is no doubt he’s intelligent – he uses his paws a lot. He will walk up to you and put his paw on you to get your attention. And his tail has lots of wags. Even when he thinks you’re “maybe” going to pay him some attention, he gets all happy. He has not jumped on my kids and is thrilled to pal around with them. We don’t have a fence so I haven’t seen him in action as far as playing outside off his leash. I’ve thrown a ball to him but I think he’s too new and a little nervous and didn’t show much interest. I guess you’ll just have to stick him in the outfield until you can figure out what his favorite sport is – unless you call looking out the window a sport. He LOVES that.
He does have a tendency to dart out the door. However, I think he’s just excited and that is easily trainable. I’ve noticed him picking up a few small things off the floor but he spits it out. He’s not overly hyper. His last foster crated him for a few days and he wasn’t really happy with that – he whined a bit. She gave him free rein of the house once she was comfortable and had no issues with him. I don’t know how long he can be left alone so I would suggest testing the waters before you decided to leave him roaming the house for the day. We’ve had him blocked off in a room and he does fine.
Dakota is waiting for his forever family. Since he is part golden he will adopted out quickly!
Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all dogs before adoption. AVID Microchips are implanted between the dog's shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the dog is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Dogs MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our dogs back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted dog
The petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do o ur best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption.
