My name is Pat (#4207). I am a 4-year old Golden Retriever. I have been told that I am very handsome. At 85 pounds, I am the perfect weight for a taller GR. I am very personable and want to play. I am good with cats and smaller dogs; I have not been observed with children.
I was very attached to my late master and remain very affectionate—when you’re working at your desk, I’ll slip my head on your lap and give you the side-eye; the rest of the time I will nap not far from you.
I sleep through the night on a dog bed in the bedroom with my humans and two other big dogs. I seldom bark but will remind you with a plaintive yelp if I’ve been forgotten outside in the fenced yard.
I’m food-motivated and like to play with chew toys. I don’t dig up the yard, take off through open doors, or have accidents in the house. I like to go on walks but my leash manners need a bit of work.
Overall, I am a terrific dog who will be happiest if I can build a special bond with one human in my forever home.
