Dakota and Summer Author: Jane Feb 03

Gender: 2 Females
Age: 13 Months
Status: In Foster Home

Foster Home Update:  The girls are terrific and are good on a leash. They come and sit on command and are better about jumping up but they are not perfect yet!  They hardly shed but will require regular grooming.  They are good with kids, other dogs, and love people.  They do not chew on stuff in the house, but destroy their toys… usually in a tug-of-war with each other.
 
Love times two!
 
Dakota and Summer are two beautiful thirteen month old Golden sisters. They have been together from “Day 1″ and are closely bonded littermates. Whatever one is doing, the other wants to do, too!Their previous owner told us that if one is in the crate, the other lays next to the crate waiting for her sister; if one is getting brushed, the other one is right there nosing her way in to be groomed. Incredibly, one won’t eat unless the other is eating, too. Those of us who know Golden Retrievers and know how much they like to eat, realize just how unusual this is!
EGRR got word of these sisters through an all-breed rescue group that didn’t have space for them and knew we would find room for two Golden girls. They had been adopted from the shelter in Broward in November, 2009. Unfortunately, there was a death in the family and the new owner could no longer take care of them.
When we came into the picture, they were living in a spotlessly clean garage and were well taken care of. However, a garage is no place for a dog to live, especially not Golden Retrievers, who are such people-oriented dogs.

 

Needless to say, EGRR would never consider separating such a lively, loving pair.The girls are spayed, up-to-date on their shots, and are in excellent health. They also appear to be housebroken. They do not walk well on a leash and will require obedience training as a part of the adoption agreement.

 

Like any young Golden, they have lots of puppy energy and lots of puppy kisses to give to anyone who comes near. They love a good belly rub…..but remember, you’ll be doing everything “times two” with Dakota and Summer!
