Goldilocks is a real love bug. She likes to snuggle and give hugs. She will be watching out the window for your return home and though you might find she's stolen your shoe while you were gone, you won't find any teeth marks. Goldilocks is a sensitive dog who would appreciate a small to medium size dog friend who can teach her how to play with toys and how to be a dog. Goldilocks has lived with a 16yr old Bichon (with medical issues) at her foster's house and has been very respectful of giving space. Sharing both water and food dishes with the Foster's dog. The foster has a pet door and Goldilocks understood right away how to use it. She hasn't had any accidents in the house since her minor tummy issues cleared up, appreciates a good nap, sleeps well at night on her Foster's bed and sometimes steals a pillow for her own use. Goldilocks is looking for a loving home with older children who don't play rough, preferably with an owner home all-day while getting acclimated and trained a bit. Most likely, she'd be okay with cats. Goldilocks hasn't shown signs of barking much, except for a single bark alert when seeing a stranger come close. She walks well on leash, but will need slow introductions to any strangers. Not food aggressive and not touch sensitive. Because of her stranger danger fear, she'll need to be slowly trained that strangers (human & animal) aren't all bad. When Goldilocks was found she was covered in painful hair mats (ears, legs, back end). When you touched the mats, Goldilocks would gently pull your hand away with her mouth because they were so painful. So, please be aware of the added cost of owning a dog breed that requires professional grooming every two to three months. Whoever adopts Goldilocks is getting a very trainable dog that is desperate to please her owner. Though sensitive to noise and new situations, consistent training can help her further relax and become your best friend.
