What kind of home would be best for me? Merry will
 thrive in a home where she can receive plenty of one-on-one attention and gentle training. Ideally, her new owner will be someone who is home most or all of the day, as Merry is still adjusting to life outside the breeder's care. With her own loving family, she’ll become the happy, confident dog she was always meant to be.

Merry could fit into a variety of home situations, whether she’s adopted by a single person, a couple, or a family. However, because of her shyness and sensitivity to new experiences, a family with older children (12+) who can be respectful of her quiet nature would be the best fit. Merry has never known life without canine companions. She requires a home with another large, confident dog for behavioral modeling and socialization. 

Merry is patiently waiting for the special person who will give her the love, care, and commitment she deserves. If you have a heart full of patience and a home that can offer her the time and space to grow, Merry is ready to meet you!


What is my personality like? 
Meet Merry, a beautiful Golden Retriever that is ready to blossom into your lifelong companion. After retiring from a breeder, Merry is ready to experience life as a cherished pet. She’s still discovering the world and learning that people can be kind, but she’ll thrive in the right environment with the right person.

Merry is new to many aspects of life outside of her previous experiences, so she’s a little shy and reserved when meeting new people. It will take some time for her to build trust, but she has so much potential to become a loving companion once she feels safe and secure. Because of her past, Merry needs an adopter who has the time, patience, and understanding to help her adjust to her new life.


Merry is already walking on a leash but will need some help adjusting to outdoor walks, as many things can startle her. She’s also still working on learning basic commands, but this will come with time and patience. 
Merry is a reserved and cautious girl who’s still adjusting to the world around her. 


How do I act when I first meet new people? 
When meeting new people, Merry is shy and reserved. While she may not actively seek out affection just yet, she does welcome gentle pets and kindness—she’s just waiting for someone to show her the way.


Other tips and tidbits: Merry’s birthday is 5/20/2017.



House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
