Description:
Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | So very sweet - truly a golden girl! She loves to just sit with you and get pets and scratches. If you are getting things done around the house, Goldy is there to supervise or help as needed! Sous chef? Bathroom attendent? Need a dog to make sure you are separating your colors and whites? Goldy is there. Don't let her age fool you. She is a spry and happy girl! She has clearly lived in a home before Story | Goldy was in large, over capacity shelter and was at risk of being euthanized. MHLRM could not let this sweet girl end her days in a shelter so we grabbed her and now she is in Colorado getting ready for her next adventure! Goldy is an absolute sweetheart. She loves everyone and is happy to be near you and enjoys affection. Other Dogs | Goldy thinks hanging out with friends is just fine. She's not sure about her more rambunctious foster brother, but tolerates his shenanigans like a respectable lady. She could exist as your one and only or with another respectable dog friendCats | Unsure ... there is a good chance she could hang with a feline friend given her personalityChildren | It's very clear Goldy would love to be a part of a famiy and part of the action. Training | Goldy seems like she has had some training in the past. She rides great in the car (she hopped right in!) and sits nicely for treats. She is very food motivated! She feels like you can teach old dogs new tricks with the right snacks. She is housetrained and seem uninterested in items that don't belong to her (except whatever meal you might be eating)Leash | Good on leash as long as she's getting a sufficient number of sniffs. Easy to walk and enjoyed a good pace in the neighborhoodActivity Level | Low to moderate -- would love a short adventure followed by a nice nap. No issues with stairs - she takes them two at a time!Health Notes | Goldy is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Goldy!Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
