Description:

Meet Goldie!

Goldie is one special girl. She has a super soft, reddish brown mottled coat that you can't keep from petting! She has a very nice calm and poised presence which makes her a joy to be around. She has darling white "fluffy slipper" feet.

Goldie enjoys being petted and handled and appears housebroken. She is fine with other dogs but has not been around cats.

Update from Foster 3/12/14

She is really a good-natured dog. Her coat feels like velvet when you pet her and she sure loves being petted!

She is house trained. She did ok in the kennel the first couple of days, but we have not been using it because she doesn't need to be crated. She likes to sleep in her own bed near us at night.

Goldie has only been in her foster home for a little over a week and she is still a little cautious about meeting with new people and dogs. She gets along with Izzy (the resident dog), but doesn't seem inclined to engage in play or to play with any of the toys. She rides well in the car.

She seems more interested in keeping tabs on the people in the home. She wants to be where her people are and
keep us in her sights. She likes to be close, but prefers sitting next to you rather than sitting on your lap.

Goldie is a very sweet dog who will make someone a wonderful companion.

Medical update 6/11/14: Goldie had a cancerous tumor removed from her mammary gland. Luckily the tumor had clean margins(was completely removed) and chest x-rays did not show any spread of the tumor to the lungs. She still has some risk of future tumor development, but is cancer free right now :)

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
