 Durango is even an absolute rockstar in doggy playgroups, so he may even thrive with a fun, active dog sibling! πŸ• Because this enthusiastic boy gets over-the-moon excited about his toys (ball is truly life!) and can show his joy with a little young-dog mouthiness, he needs a home with kiddos 12 and up who can partner with him on his training. He's already making amazing strides on leash, sits politely before fetch, and is a total angel for bath and brush time. If you're ready to end this awesome guy's search for a home and gain a gentle, adventure-loving best friend, Durango is ready to meet you! ❤️🐢

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

 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.

 He walks perfect on a leash without pulling.  He good at not destroying things around the house.  He would rather not be kenneled, but he is kennel trained and learns to be quit while you're at work. - He's potty trained and neutered. 
 
He is very dog friendly and would love to have a dog friend to play with. - He has no reactive behaviors towards dogs or any other animals. Almost no prey drive. 
 
He is a perfect car passenger, camping or hiking buddy. He would love to go on adventures with you. He will stay nearby and not run off.  He's not much of a barker, but may bark when he's unsure of something new. 
 
 He's a very cuddly and sensitive boy.  He's a perfect sized dog. Rueben is a a great dog for almost any family. He can be a little slow to warm up, but he does and he loves to play with toys, and take treats. He's made so much progress in a short amount of time though. He may just need a little time to settle in and may choose to shy away from certain people. Other than that, he's really a perfect little dog. 

 
 

 
 
 REUBEN was very scared when he came to the shelter and was placed in a Foster home where he is now thriving!
