Story
Meet Frankie! ❤️🐾 Frankie is a lovable, energetic sweetheart who adores people and plays great with other dogs! His playful spirit and big heart make him the perfect companion for an active home filled with love, fun, and adventure. ❤Name: Frankie ❤Age: Estimated 2-3 years old ❤Gender: Male ❤Weight: 30kg (65 Lbs) ❤Breed: Golden Retriever ❤Vaccinations/Neutered: Completed 👉Personality & Temperament Frankie is an affectionate and social dog who absolutely loves people. He enjoys playing with both adults and children, but due to his high energy level and tendency to playfully mouth hands and arms, he may not be suitable for very young children who could find him overwhelming. 👉Behavior with Other Animals 🦴Dogs: Frankie gets along great with other dogs and loves to play! He can be a bit rough when playing with larger dogs but is very gentle and adjusts his play style when interacting with small dogs. 🦴Cats: He has not been exposed to cats, but based on his personality, he is likely to approach them fearlessly and try to initiate play rather than avoiding them. 👉House Training Frankie is partially house-trained. He is used to relieving himself indoors but tends to only go in specific areas. If provided with pee pads in those spots, he will use them. He previously lived in a foster home where he preferred indoor potty breaks, likely due to limited early exposure to outdoor walks. However, his habits may have changed now that he is staying at a shelter. 👉Energy Level: 9-10 (High Energy) 👉Separation Anxiety & Barking 🦴No separation anxiety 🦴Vocal when he wants attention or playtime—he may bark at people or other dogs to express his excitement or needs. 👉Touch Sensitivity Frankie loves being petted and handled—he craves human touch and has no fear of hands. 👉Walking & Leash Behavior 🦴Strong leash pulling, especially when excited. 🦴Easily distracted and eager to approach people and dogs he encounters. 🦴Knows basic commands like "sit" and "wait" but struggles to respond in high-energy outdoor environments. 👉Escape Behavior No known escape tendencies; he does not attempt to run away from home or during walks.

Story
Sophie is a very sweet 4-year-old Golden Retriever. She was previously a breeder dog, and is now looking for a life of love, comfort and ease. Sophie would like a home where someone is around most of the time. She is fine with other dogs (although not particularly playful with them so far) and she can be a bit shy with people and dogs when she first meets them. She loves her walks, so a moderately active family is a must. Sophie does require daily eye drops and periodic eye check-ups, and would like some help losing a little bit of weight. She’s ready to find her forever home where she can get lots of love, cuddles and walks.

Story
Need a sweet, energetic and playful pup? Lucy is a one-of-a-kind girl (she can't stay still for photos). She's great with other dogs, great with kids, and is ready to make the world her playground. She's only 12 weeks old, but she already has a lot of heart! She's going to grow up faster than you can blink, so make sure to cherish her and try to keep up with her :) Ideally looking for someone who has a big yard, so that she can expend her energy and live a good life!

Story
Meet Margaret, a 1-year-old spayed female with a heart as golden as her fur! This sweet girl is a delightful mix of Golden Retriever and Welsh Corgi, with the gentle, expressive face of a Retriever and the charming, compact body of a Corgi. Weighing in at 16kg, she’s the perfect mid-sized companion for just about any home. Margaret’s journey hasn’t been easy—she was found alone in a deserted field where she was sadly being raised for meat consumption. Thankfully, a kind-hearted local stepped in and got her the help she needed. Despite her past, Margaret is full of love and trust, eager to share her affection with the world. She’s a social butterfly who adores people, whether familiar or new. Margaret loves to nuzzle up to everyone she meets, happily accepting pets and belly rubs—even offering up her belly to strangers with zero hesitation. She’s just as friendly with men as she is with women, and although she hasn’t spent time with children under 13, her sweet, affectionate nature suggests she’d do great with kids. You can even scoop her up by placing your arms under her belly—though fair warning, she may flop over in anticipation of being picked up! Margaret’s friendliness extends to her fellow canines too. She joyfully greets other dogs, whether they’re old pals or brand-new acquaintances, and invites them to play with her cheerful energy. She’s so popular that some dogs can’t help but follow her around, but Margaret never minds. Even if a dog pesters her or tries to stir trouble, she simply walks away—no drama here! She especially enjoys the company of dogs similar in size to her and has a knack for making friends wherever she goes. As for cats, Margaret hasn’t lived with one yet, but she’s gentle and non-aggressive, so a feline sibling could be a possibility with proper introductions. Margaret has a moderate energy level—she enjoys outdoor adventures but knows how to relax once she’s had her fun. She absolutely loves going on walks and gets a little excited at first, which might mean some light pulling, but overall, she follows her human well and is a joy to stroll with. This lovely girl doesn’t guard her food from people or other dogs, has no separation anxiety, and rarely barks. She’s calm in a kennel, does her business outside, and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles to her forever home.
