Sargent

Profile

We would like to welcome Sargent into RAGOM. He is our 7th foster. He came in from South Dakota Wednesday night so we don't know him too well yet, but this is what I can tell you about him. He was found as a stray. The shelter called Rona, a RAGOM foster in Sioux Falls SD, and she picked him up and welcomed him into RAGOM. He went to a Temp Foster, Patty, and she took great care of him until he could come up to the cities. She had him neutered and vetted and a nice bath. I was very happy she did this for him and me.

Sargent is a PB golden male, 2-3 yrs old, deep red in color, 62 lbs, but with the help of some good food he will gain some weight quickly. He is pretty mellow for being so young. He loves to be petted. Loves to chase tennis balls and brings them back and lets you take them from his mouth very gently. Unlike my resident golden Timber that has lock jaw when it comes to taking something away from her - she's very stubborn. He is still recovering from his neuter a few days ago so I am trying to keep him low key. He met our resident golden Timber girl, she's 2 years old. She is being very hospitable, she shares her toys and her space. No problems he was a perfect gentleman.

We had a tough first night. He had a hard time settling down with a cone on trying to sleep. But the next night was so much better. He is eating well and is very happy having a nice bed to sleep in. No accidents in the house so we are hoping he is housetrained. He is a cuddle bug. I will be taking him for a walk tonight so we will see how he walks on a leash. He has good manners so I'm hoping he will be a good walking partner for some great family. He will be a great companion also. More to come when we know how he is with kids & cats. We will kid test him with the neighborhood kids. Oh, and he doesn't jump on the beds or furniture.
