"CAM" *MED-sz *senior* GOLDEN RETRIEVEr MIX "HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHVANCOUVER"

dogs available HS SW Washington (both Vancouver and Longview)

 Vancouver Campus Adoption Hours
Tuesday - Sunday | Noon - 6:00 

 
CAM #178215 spayed female, 10 yrs 1 mth 47 lbs

Breed: Retriever, Golden  $25

 I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while. And that's made me appreciate the finer things in life like naps in the sun, looking out windows, and the special joy when you're able to scratch juuuuust the right spot. I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I need a yard with a 6 ft wood fence. A wood fence keeps me from climbing out and seeing things that I might want to chase or things that make me nervous.
