Chance is a sweetheart, and is a pleasure to have around. He is very affectionate and loves to lay next to my chair where he can receive lots of pets and gentle scratches. He is a recently neutered PB Golden Retriever who was found as a stray in Iowa. He had no tags and wasn't microchipped.
He weighs 68.8 lbs and is approximately 10-12 years old. He is now chipped and up to date on shots. He is crate trained and appears to be potty trained, though he has lifted his leg a time or two, but I quickly shuffled him outside to do his business. This sweet ole boy loves attention, and at the same time is happy to go in his crate and sleep. He gets along beautifully with Morgan, my 11-year-old Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix. His energy level is called "what's the hurry," however he will do a few retrieving "exercises." He loves my teenage daughter almost as much as she loves him, and will great her when she walks into the room. The first few nights went well; he slept great and so did I! When I am not home, he is crated and seems to actually enjoy his alone time. When I return home, he is always sleeping peacefully and doesn't get up until I open the crate door. He is eating well, but does need hand-feeding to start. Chance has shown no signs of resource guarding. He would require a fenced-in yard, since he has tried to escape out the garage when the door was opened. Chance seems to enjoy seeing our Guinea Pig a little too much. He also shows an "interest" in cats, so should probably go to a home without cats. He hasn't experienced children under five yet, though as sweet and easy-going as he is with everyone that he has met, I can see him being accepting of all.
He walks well on a leash. The vet says due to his lack of muscle tone in his rear legs that short walks each day are good for him. Due to his condition, a forever home without stairs would be best. He is currently on drops for an ear infection. He does have cataracts, but from what I can see, he clearly is an awesome dog! Check out the picture below. He would make a wonderful, furry companion to someone....Is that someone you?
