Jared 08-252 [1]

Jared and his brothers came from a rather sad situation. Their owner died and there was no one close to take care of them so two of us jumped into action and went and picked them up. They lived right on a lake which was so great for them but their situation has sadly changed. They are now RAGOM boys though and they will live that indoor life and maybe with a lake in their future once again. Jared is a Golden Retriever/Gordon Setter mix, weighs 57 pounds, was updated on all his shots yesterday and today he is being neutered. We will pick him up later today.

When we got the boys to my house, they were all pretty dirty so we hooked up the hose to my inside faucet and everyone got a bath in the doggie pool. They were all great and stood for us while we washed, scrubbed and rinsed each of them. It was a beautiful day out so after a little towel dry they all dried off in the sun. Their coats are just a beautiful soft, shiny black. The three of them together is quite a sight! They are all very friendly, a little rough around each other but just perfect when no brothers are around.

Jared is the outgoing one. He is as social as they come. He does jump up and wants to lick you so we will be working on ‘off’ and some manners. Some of this is due to three of them wanting attention at the same time. When he is alone with no other brothers around, he is a very good boy. Jared seems to be the hunter of the three. He will watch every bird that goes by and even chase the ones in the yard. He stands at attention when he does see a bird and is very still – but not for long because he is off to the chase. He is a fun loving, energetic boy that just needs some love and training.

More updates and pictures to follow after the vet visit today.
