Goldie is a very handsome, goofy boy who does all things with great intensity. He plays with purpose, eats voraciously, and will seek and receive affection with great intention.

He is learning what it’s like to be part of a family, has become very playful, and is very sweet. He is an energetic boy but learns very quickly and knows basic commands like “wait, sit, down and roll over.”

He is learning manners but still needs some work, as he doesn’t completely know what is allowed and what’s not. He seems to love Minnesota life, a long way from his Shanghai, China lifestyle where he was rescued as a stray.

Goldie does well eating near people, but he needs to eat separately from other dogs. He eats fast in his crate while guarding and protecting his food/bones. He does great getting treats with other dogs and listens and obeys commands such as sit, stay, and shake.  

Goldie loves to go for walks and is learning very quickly to heal and walk nicely. However, when other dogs walk by, he gets overly excited and barks and lunges at the other dogs. So we are practicing in the back yard when people and dogs walk by to teach Goldie to remain calm.

He is quickly learning the ways of being a family dog and is taking to it very well! If you are looking for an energetic, cuddly pup who will make you laugh every day, Goldie is your boy!
