[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359424, member: 1233"] Goldens can be very easy to love. I hope you enjoy him! That is about the best way to get an animal from a shelter. The owner knows you will love him and that his dog was not traumatized by the shelter in any way. We got rid of a kitten in a similar way. She was a gift to me but she was feral. She couldn't be litter trained and she hated Wiz and I. Adored husband, but would attack us if we got within about 4 feet of him. She was really nuts, but an amazing hunter. I was taking her to the shelter and there was a guy looking for a barn cat for his dad. Dad was elderly and the farm was pretty much inactive save for a few animals for the family. Mice were getting into the barn and the cats they had were to spoiled to hunt. Once I made SURE there were NO kids around (grandkids were teens) I just gave her to him. I told him about how she attacked Wiz. He was sitting in a highchair watching Barney sitting perfectly still, the way they do when they are little and mesmerized. I saw the cat just run to him and jump up and sink all her front claws into his leg and slide down him!! She stayed in the bathroom until I could take her to the shelter. My dad was going to shoot her for hurting Wiz. Can't blame him, you just can't have dangerous animals around. I got Freckles that day. It was 1 week before their birthday. She was delivered at our vets office because her mom had trouble in labor. She was so sweet, came right to me, and when I saw the birthday I knew she was meant for us. She lived for many years with us. I hope you have many happy years with the Golden. Just be sure to do an obedience class or two to help with all the energy goldens have. [/QUOTE]
