Maren 06-437 [1]

10/12/06: Meet Maren! (Mar rhymes with car). Maren comes to RAGOM from a loving home where she's lived since she was a puppy. Unfortunately her elderly parents could no longer give her the best life possible, so they made the difficult decision to allow us to find the perfect forever home for Maren.

This sweet girl turned 3 last week -- Happy Birthday to you! -- and is the kind of Golden every family wants to adopt. She's a classic purebred Golden beauty, with a fun-loving, playful, attention-seeking Golden personality. She's housetrained and well-behaved, with just enough puppy spunk left in her to keep you entertained.

Maren's only challenge is that she suffers from separation anxiety. Apparently this has been a problem since she was a puppy, and has been managed, but not entirely overcome. She is crate-trained and does best being crated when left alone. More details to come as we get to know her better and understand the extent of the problem. I will be interested to see if Mason, the resident Golden, can help to put her at ease. So far she is a doll!
