Khloe
Khloe, age 8 months
Cute Khloe is already matched up to her new home,
but we like to give all our GRR dogs a spot on our website! So here’s her story:
Right at the end of
August, a nice young man appeared at the shelter with an 8-month-old Golden in
tow & filled out the paperwork. “I’ll be having my brother come to stay and he
is allergic to dogs. Also, I’ve been trying to keep her in my apartment since I
got her, but she barks when she is left alone all day, and I already have two
noise complaints, and if I get one more I’ll be kicked out. So she has been
boarding at the Pet Hotel for a month now.”
But instead of completing
the intake: “We are bursting at the seams! Don’t surrender her here,” implored
the shelter staff. “Please call Gold Ribbon Rescue instead.”
He did, and that’s how Khloe became a GRR dog the next day.
Meanwhile, we looked over her shelter information card:

Sounded pretty normal to us… in fact, those personality traits
sound pretty great. As for the “dislikes”: (1) At such a young age, Khloe would
automatically be placed in a puppy home where people are around much of the time
(that should address the excess “I’m lonely!” barking problem); and (2) as for
“sometimes messy,” well, welcome to life with dogs!
Her foster mom announced, “She’s nearly perfect. No worries.” Khloe
loves to play with other dogs but can calm down and settle at your feet, too. In
typical puppy fashion, she likes to bring toys to her canine and human friends,
to try to get a nice game of tug going! She’s fine with cats; she’s outgoing
with people. “She’s very well socialized and happy being an inside dog.”
In fact, just as soon as she recovered from a case of kennel cough
and had her spay surgery, Khloe moved right into her permanent home!
