Shaggy
This handsome fellow is looking for a special home. Shaggy would be a great buddy for someone who can spend lots of time with him. He loves to be with his person. He’s a strong fellow with plenty of energy and enjoys going for walks, but is equally happy to come home and settle down for a cuddle or snooze. He doesn’t care to be left outside, but is happiest inside, giving all his attention to his favorite human. His ideal home would be with an experienced mom or dad who spends a lot of time at home, and who can help him get used to a new, regular routine. He’s ok with other dogs, but would be just as happy being an “only child.” Shaggy is a nice fellow looking for a special human to be his very best friend.

So whether you want to enjoy a page full of smiling Goldens or just one stunning photo each month, you’re sure to enjoy owning one (or more!) of these beautiful calendars.
