Hudson

Profile

Hi my name is Hudson. I am a 2 ½ year old neutered male Golden Retriever. My previous family developed severe allergies to me so now I am in RAGOM’s care waiting on my forever family. I am a petite boy weighing in at 49lbs. and am a beautiful deep golden color. I went to the vet on Monday and got updated on my shots and my heartworm check was negative. I do have some seasonal allergies that will need to be treated with Benadryl when allergy season is at its worst but since winter is upon us and he hasn’t been itching much the vet said she didn’t think there was any need to do anything right now.

I am completely house trained and love riding in the car. I am getting along well with the girls (dogs) in the house but just need slow introductions with new dogs as I tend to get a little nervous at first. FM caught me playing with my foster sister the second day I got here so I have I warmed up to everyone quickly. I am also living with two cats right now which I haven’t been around in the past so I am very interested in them right now. I just want to play with them, but apparently they are not interested in that so FM is working on redirecting me when I decide I want to play with them. Over the past few days he has made a lot of progress and is getting better about leaving them alone.  Hudson really likes to play with toys. His favorite here is a stuffed soccer ball that squeaks that he loves to play fetch with. He has some interest in playing fetch with a tennis ball but isn’t overly excited about it. He also likes to chew nylabones and cuddle on the couch in his free time. He is not big into sharing his toys with the other dogs and will growl when they try to take a toy from them though he has no problem with people taking toys from him or being around his food bowl. He is very sweet, has a medium activity level and is slightly shy but warms up very quickly. He loves being around his people and wants to be with you in the same room at all times.

Hudson doesn’t have  any major anxieties such as storm or separation anxiety but he doesn’t like the noise of garbage trucks or buses. He does bark but usually only when someone comes to the door or walks by or house. He walks really well on a leash for a young dog and knows sit and come. He would make a good jogging partner for someone and is just an all around great guy. More updates to come once we get to know this guy even better.
