This is the most recent information available; however, it may change as we learn more about the dog.

Shadow arrived in Minnesota on 5/25/14 from Kentucky. Her owners were moving and planning to just leave her, tied up outside. Fortunately, an animal shelter in the area took her in and contacted RAGOM! She is a 3-year-old spayed Golden Retriever/Flat Coated Retriever mix. She could possibly have other breeds in there too, but your guess is as good as mine! Don't let that black coat fool you...she has an A++ Golden personality. Weighing in at only 55-60 pounds, she is just a little peanut, and has a very puppy-like look to her. She has been with us a couple of days now and is settling in nicely. So far, she has been nothing but a complete sweetheart, and is cute as a button. Pictures really don't do her justice. Very happy girl and when she gets excited, she lays down; it's adorable!

Here is a list of what we have observed so far:

  • Gets along well with my resident dogs (Lab and Mini Dachshund)

  • Rides well in the car (see picture)

  • Takes treats nicely
  • Does not jump up
  • Stays off the couch
  • Quiet in a crate
  • Sleeps through the night on a dog bed
  • No potty accidents so far
  • Relaxed
  • Comes when called
  • Loves people
  • Excellent for grooming, including nail trims
  • Content with just hanging out
  • Loves toys and antlers
  • Likes to steal paper off coffee tables; no idea why!
  • A little unsure about stairs

As you can see in her pictures, she has some significant hair loss. She was severely matted and was completely shaved and seen by a vet before she left Kentucky. The hair loss is from a skin infection due to untreated allergies. She also has yeast infections in both ears. She is taking a few different meds to clear these issues up. I also have her on a grain-free, limited-ingredient kibble, so we can hopefully cut out whatever she is allergic to, and she has another vet appointment this week. Her hair WILL eventually grow back. She has a thick black coat like a Golden's with a few brown tints in it. I included the picture RAGOM originally received of her when she still had her hair.

That's it for now, we will keep you updated on this sweet little Kentucky girl!

Updates

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

As of June 10th, Shadow has been adopted.

She was with us for just over a week. That gave her time to get stable from the relocation and to finish her medications. We were surprised at how quickly she fit into our routine and got along wonderfully with our resident dog and with any other dog that she was introduced to. It became apparent that she really likes children when our granddaughter brought over her friends to play.

She is a wonderfully sweet dog and is all Golden in her desire to get attention and to please. She is going to be the companion that her adopter is looking for and I'm sure that they will have a long and mutually satisfying partnership.

And when her coat grows out and gets silky and wavy, she will be one good-looking pup.

We are excited for Shadow and her new owner.
