Meet Goldie

This sweetheart of a dog is approximately 3 years old and weighs in at a petite 40ish pounds. Surrendered by her family when they could no longer care for her, Goldie found herself in several short-term living situations before catching the eye of an experienced foster parent affiliated with Tara’s House. Smitten by her sweet looks and reputation for being very dog-friendly, the foster agreed to add her to her pack. But first, Goldie is making a pit-stop with the amazing trainers of Ridgeside K-9 Central MD where she will learn how to contain her enthusiasm and excitement when over-stimulated. Goldie is initially a little reserved with new people, but has shown repeatedly that once you gain her trust she will adore you with abandon. She loves to play with toys and other dogs, and can settle herself when it’s time for a rest. She does well on a leash and is very eager to learn - especially if you reward her with treats!  Goldie is at the age where she’s well beyond the crazy puppy years, but has a long way to go before she’s in her golden years. She is a young dog that’s full of life and love. She is gentle, affectionate, pretty and polite. She would be a wonderful family dog and would fit in well in most households. She does well with other dogs, but cats are an unknown (she may do just fine with them!)  Goldie’s adoption donation fee is $400, which includes spay, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Goldie by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at [email protected] with any questions.
