Let me introduce Goldie to you. I have no idea what circumstances brought Goldie to become a stray dog who ended up scared and lonely in a shelter in Kentucky. It can most certainly be through NO fault of her own. The shelter's note to the rescue, pleading for help, simply said "please help scared, sweet Goldie." And so, we did. Despite what I suspect has not been a terribly great life, she is about the sweetest dog I've met. She has a heart of gold, hence her name. We are guessing on her mix. Corgi seems certain, and she has some wavy fur suggestive of spaniel, and there may even be some beagle mixed in there. Her ears are adorable-- they don't stand up, they don't hang down-- rather like handle bars on the side of her head! She is very low key and undemanding. Goldie is being fostered with two children (ages 7 (boy) and 9 (girl), and has absolutely no problems with them, two adults, and 4 other dogs, also absolutely no issues. She is not a "playful" dog, yet, and may not be given her background, but she adores people, and does a delightful wiggle dance as a greeting, gives kisses, and her tail thumps with happiness when we approach her. She also loves belly and ear rubs. This is a dog who just really wants to be loved.  We very much want her to be adopted by someone who will continue to humanely, positively, and patiently help her become more confident in the world. She is such a diamond in the rough, and a truly dear dog, but her past life means that she does need some work. She is unfamiliar with a leash, so we are working on that. She doesn't pull-- just doesn't move at all, but we are making progress daily, baby step by baby step. She seems unfamiliar with much in the world, so we are working on exposure to sights, smells, sounds--- all that stuff that makes a dog's world grand!  She has been a house dog at some point, and is housetrained (although as with all dogs, a transition to a new home and schedule can produce a few "accidents".) We do not confine her to a crate, and she has free run of the house.  Because of the lack of leash experience, we would prefer a home with a fenced yard and someone willing to continue to work with her using positive, patient methods to continue her development (on harness, preferably).  She shuts down completely with any harsh words or correction. Goldie would be great for anyone looking for a snuggly, low key dog (she would make a great therapy dog, actually, once trained, because she is extremely calm, even in new circumstances). She makes daily progress-- which is our reward in rescuing her, and your reward in adopting her. Don't overlook her! Goldie weighs 26 pounds, and will not gain much more weight. Goldie is spayed, up to date with all vaccinations, vet checked. Her adoption fee is $250. Only approved applicants may meet  Goldie, so please fill out an application with Worthy Tails if interested. If you have questions, you may email the foster directly at kaymcadams10@yahoo.com. Thanks for choosing rescue!!!
