Peaches 09-529 [1]

Meet Peaches! Peaches is a GORGEOUS 8 yr old, PB, female Golden Retriever. She is UTD on all of her vaccinations, spayed and received a clean bill of health this week at the vet! The only suggestion that the vet had for her would be to lose about 5 pounds (She currently weighs 70 lbs), so we are working on that!

Peaches has lived outdoors in a kennel her entire life. She has had a few litters and now that she is done having puppies, she has been welcomed into RAGOM to find her forever family!! She is the sweetest girl and we are amazed at how well she is doing, given that she has lived outdoors her whole life!! She has not had any accidents since we picked her up a week ago and has does not chew on anything inappropriate. She had a little issue with resource guarding when eating her food, but a simple "no" and she stopped immediately. We have not seen her do any guarding since, but we do watch the dogs eat and make sure we separate their bowls. She does not mind her crate and is crated during the day while we're at work. At night we let her sleep out of her crate with us and she does just fine. We are working on learning how she would do being out of the crate during the day, so more to come on that!

She learns new things really fast and watches our resident Golden closely. She has already overcome her fear of the stairs! When we got her, she did not know how to climb up or go down them. Today we had a break through, as she climbed up and down them with no problem!! Yeah Peaches!! All it took was a little time and she got it! Now that she has the stairs down, you'd never know that she has lived outdoors her whole life!!

Peaches LOVES all people, big and small! We would describe her activity level as moderate and definitely say that even though she is 8 years old, she still has a lot of spunk! She LOVES to go for walks and will even jog by your side if you wanted her to. She does very well with her Gentle Leader. She is a really awesome dog because she is ready and willing to do whatever you want to do. If you want to go for a walk, she'll join you! If you want to lay around and watch tv, she'll do the same! She is very easy going! We have fallen in love with her already! :)

We took Peaches into the groomer this week, as she needed a professional's touch. She was covered in mats when we got her. The groomer cleaned her up real nice and she looks beautiful!! The groomer did have to cut off a considerable amount of hair; however, now the new hair can grow back healthy!!

Here is a list of some things we would like to see for Peaches forever home:

1. A fenced in yard
2. A family that is willing to give her plenty of walks
3. Someone who is willing to keep working with her and teach her the ropes, she learns quickly, so it wouldn't take much!
4. Someone who is looking for a sweet gal that is always happy and enjoys being part of the family!
