Background –

Goldie was handed in by her breeder who is getting rid of her breeding dogs.

Character –

Goldie’s foster Mum says “One-Eyed Beauty & Retired Supermum! Goldie may only see the world through one eye, but that hasn’t stopped her from seeing straight into our hearts. This sweet Cavachon came to us from a puppy farm, heavily pregnant and unsure of the world. When those pups arrived, Goldie stepped into full Supermum mode and devoted herself entirely.

Now her puppies have flown the nest, Goldie is figuring out life as an independent lady, and we’re slowly getting to know the dog behind the mum. She’s still a work in progress (aren’t we all?), but one thing is apparent—she bonds deeply with her person and will follow you around like a fluffy little shadow.

What are they like inside the home: For the most part, Goldie is well settled in the home. She enjoys a quiet, easy and laidback life. She spends most of her time relaxing or politely asking for cuddles.

She sleeps through the night on a dog bed in her foster’s bedroom. (Warning – LOUD SNORING will be experienced!)

Goldie is working hard on housetraining and is making leaps and bounds of progress. Her new home will just need to remind her that rugs and grass are not the same thing!

When left alone, we are seeing signs of separation anxiety; she prefers to keep her human in her line of sight, and may protest when left alone. No chewing or destruction, just a vocal solo of whines and barks.

We’ve just started introducing Goldie to the joys of walkies, and to our delight, she’s taken to it very well. She enjoys a trot around the block, with a happy tail, clearly enjoying her little outdoor adventures. The fresh air and light exercise are doing her good—especially as she’s carrying a few extra post-puppy pounds that she’d like to shed now that maternity leave is over!”

Type of home –

Goldie gets on extremely well with other dogs and has never known life without canine company. She takes comfort in snuggling up with her furry foster siblings and would be lost without a resident dog to show her the ropes and share the sofa. Goldie can often be found, trying to squeeze into the same dog bed as her foster sibling (even if there’s not really room for 2!). Goldie isn’t used to children and we think she’d prefer a home without noisy little ones.

Goldie uses her voice when she’s scared. This means sometimes barking at unfamiliar people or noises in the home. On entry into foster care, she made her strong opinions about men, very know, barking at her foster Dad every time he moved. As she has settled in, and gotten used to her surroundings, her vocal tendencies have gotten a lot better and she will now tolerate her foster Dad sharing the same couch (after barking at him for initially entering the house/room). She has come a very long way, but her future home should be aware that resident males, or visiting guests, may be judged harshly by a small, fluffy critic.

We know the Goldie’s perfect home is out there – with patience, understanding, and a second dog to lean on, Goldie will blossom into the loyal, loving companion we know she is.

Health –

Goldie still needs to shed some pounds and is due to have some routine vet care (neutering etc) which our usual vets practice will carry out.

Adopting –

Goldie is in foster care in Yate and applicants will need to come and meet her here.
