Female Dog, Golden Retriever
Golden Retriever (Medium Coat)
Description:
Nala is a beautiful young golden retriever who is learning rules and boundaries in her foster home. She is anxious and fearful at times but with a steady schedule and routine we are really starting to see her blossom. Nala is uneasy and nervous around children so she cannot be placed in a home with them or in a home where they visit regularly. Nala is very nervous of her collar and harness being touched. We are diligently working on her crate anxiety so no shared walls and she cannot be left unattended outside of the crate due to her not understanding that certain items shouldn’t be chewed. Nala seems to be ok with other dogs and cats but we haven’t fully introduced her as she is unsure but has had no reaction to seeing them through a gate. She enjoys walks and playing with a tennis ball. She is potty trained and has not had an accident here in the few weeks I’ve had her. Nala needs an experienced owner who will go slow with her and not introduce her to everything at once. She needs to go at her pace. Getting her into a training program will be key in bonding with her and allowing her to be the dog I know she can be with patience and guidance. Nala is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
