Met her at Goldzilla!! What a cutie!! - Karen

September 5, 2013

Hello Scooby!  This lovely lady came into RAGOM with 10 two or three-week old pups. She was surrendered because her family could no longer afford to feed her.  What a fantastic girl she is!  She is gentle, loves kids and is very affectionate!  The only concern with this mystery mix is that she needs a little more work on the house training, especially during the overnight hours.  Because she needs to have access to the puppies, we haven't been able to crate her for potty training purposes, but I think she will be a quick study once we are able to do that!

Our best estimate is that Scooby is about 3 years old and she is a petite 35 lbs.  She may not have a drop of Golden in her, but she has a wonderful Golden temperament!  She has no problem with cats, could live with or without another dog.  Ideally she would have a fence or invisible fence as she does like to hang out in the back and enjoy the good smells, but likely could be boundary trained if necessary.  She has had free roam (so she can get to the pups) and has not been destructive.  She seems unfamiliar with being leashed, but does not pull.

 

Scooby will need to be spayed once her pups are fully weaned, and then she will be ready for her forever home!  She is planning to attend Goldzilla and I bet, if she hasn't found her forever family by then, she will meet them that day. Just a few minutes with this special girl and you know she will make a wonderful companion!

Miss Scooby is about ready to strike out on her own!  She has done a great job of weaning her puppies, and will be going to her very own foster home away from the ravenous little rugrats for a little well deserved R and R!

Over the next few weeks she will have her official "retirement" party at the vet and join the ranks of the empty nesters.  During that time she is looking forward to meeting a special family she has her eye on!

Scooby is a sweet girl.  She still needs some work on her potty training, but is such a smart girl, I am confident she will have no problem once she is able to be away from her pups and have some one-on-one attention.

This weekend, we found out this gal is a Vikings fan!  When the crowd (ok, my husband) went crazy clapping and cheering for a TD, Scooby jumped up and raced across the room to get on his lap and join the celebration!  Check out a replay of the action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIpeYvH7nEc&feature=youtu.be
