We do get some Goldens that have had a rough start in life, but generally they bounce back to their loving Golden nature in a short period of time. Yes, we often work with families that want to add another canine member to their family. We will work with them to get the dogs acquainted. We usually start on neutral territory first. Then work our way into having the dogs playing in the backyard together.
Some dogs get along great the first day, others take a little longer.
Each case is different. It really depends on the dogs available at the time your home is approved. We always consider the needs of each dog and then match their needs with the type, activity level and age of dog you are interested in adopting. Because the list of available dogs changes daily, some matches are made in a short time or it may sometimes take a while to make the perfect match.
