Mango

Profile

Mango is a 4-year-old (plus) male purebred Golden Retriever, 76 pounds, medium golden coat. He’s neutered, up-to-date on all vaccines, heartworm preventatives and Frontline.

Mango is a majestic and affectionate guy that immediately made himself at home here. He enjoys walks, fetch, playing with toys, and is absolutely treat-motivated.

Observations:

• Knows the Golden nudge for affection and tummy rubs
• Housebroken; will whine at the door or will come and get you
• Eats well, is treat-motivated and takes them gently
• Sleeps on the floor in our bedroom
• Does well on car rides
• Knows the commands “sit,” come,” “stay”
• Walks well on Gentle Leader
• He’s quite calm, only barks when very excited
• Likes to be bathed and brushed, and does OK with nail trimming
• He will sometimes curl up on furniture, but gets off when asked
• Has shown no separation anxiety, is crated 1 hr when we’re away

We do not have a fence, so I’ve been walking Mango daily for 1 mile at midday and 1 mile at night in a metro/nature park around a lake. Thus far, we’ve encountered: walkers, joggers, bikers, people walking dogs (medium, large, small) and although he wants to play with everyone he meets, he isn’t aggressive.

Forever Home Requirement:

Mango needs a home where he can work on his manners, get plenty of love and affection, and exercise. He’s a very sweet Golden boy and will thrive in a loving home.
