PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING.We have four male Purebred Golden Retriever puppies available for adoption. These puppies came to us at 6 weeks old after their breeder was no longer able to care for the litter. They were already fully weaned, eating well on their own, and have been thriving in their foster home with plenty of socialization, routine, and gentle handling. Their mother developed mastitis, so although the puppies were already weaned, she could not safely be near them during recovery.These boys have the classic Golden Retriever temperament everyone loves - soft, sweet, submissive, and eager to please. They adore being close to their people, soaking up affection, and following you around with their gentle, wiggly enthusiasm. Their parents are 65 and 70 lbs; the mother is golden, and the father is red.We are not a shelter - all puppies are raised in loving foster homes.ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS• A fencedin backyard is required (no invisible fences).
