Tess

Profile

Welcome Tess to the RAGOM family!  Tess is an adorable 6 month old Golden!  She was rescued from a puppy mill in Iowa, and has joined RAGOM hoping to find a new Golden life with her forever family.  Since she came from a puppy mill where she was not very well taken care of, she is still a little skittish and scared, but the curious puppy side is starting to take over!

Tess is about 10 pounds underweight, which we are working on fixing!  She has recently started taking treats from us, and is learning from her foster sister all about the joys of eating regular meals and how yummy treats are.  She was slightly dehydrated and had an infection when we received her, so we are working on those issues before her vaccinations, which should be in a week or so, as

well as being spayed.  She is micro chipped.

While she is still scared, she is a sweet lil girl!  She loves to get belly rubs & have her ears rubbed, and is starting to seek out love from her foster family.  I think in no time she will have adjusted and will be a fun loving puppy.  We are also working on the potty training, as she is not trained yet.  But, we have only had a few accidents, and she knows to go on a puppy pad when nature calls.

She gets along great with other dogs, and doesn't mind our cats.  She has been around kids, and right now is somewhat indifferent to them also.  She will sleep in a crate, but you have to coax her into it.  I think it brings back memories of the puppy mill, so she is not a huge fan of them.  Tess takes a lot of her

cues from our resident dog, and I would highly recommend the adopting family has another dog who can help to "train" Tess as to good doggy manners and behaviors.  She doesn't bark, and occasionally whines if she wants your attention.

Tess is a sweet little girl who needs a family that will be patient with her as she adjusts to her new golden life.  She loves playing outside, car rides, and is a huge fan of the water and kiddie pools.Tess would love to have a fur sibling at her forever family also. She cuddles with the best of them!
