Update!! I won’t be accepting more applications right now as it’s just too many to go through. This is good problem to have. I’m sorry if you haven’t heard back from me. It’s looking really likely that we will have some lovely, dedicated families as options that are interested in adopting both together!
Meet Willow and Walter! They are 7 and 5 and needing a home as soon as possible. Both are Grizzly Goldens pups. Willow (darker one) is from the Sun and Moon litter and Walter is from the Rainbow litter.
Here’s a little bit more about both of them and why they are needing a stable, forever home now.
Willow loves the water, is lively and protective; it takes a lot more time for her to warm up to other dogs then they’re besties. If someone comes to the door she’ll let you know. She loves riding in the car and will swim at the water, having so much fun getting those sticks and bringing them back. She’s a little spoiled and is used to being a queen. She’s not well-trained to be reliable off leash and walks on leash, that could also use some work. She’s good around children and is more of a homebody but if she or Walter sees you getting that leash for a walk they are excited! She definitely has the typical affectionate nature of a Golden and loves to love and be loved. Willow has more of the traditional lines and less show as you can see off her more sleek features.
Walter is a pretty easy boy; super sweet, gentle and kind. When someone arrives his tail is constantly wagging. Everyone is his best friend. He’s not your boy to play fetch at the lake but will splash around at the shore. Car rides aren’t his favorite thing but he will get into the car to go places. He loves to meet and play with other dogs and is wonderful with kids. He’s more golden and blocky, with mostly American show European show lines.
Both are in good health, have had recent vaccinations (I believe within the last year according to current owner) both are fixed also.
A devastating life-circumstance is such that this is the only option forward for these two to be able to thrive. We tried to see any option moving forward where these two precious babies would be able to remain with owner but it looks like they will need a home in the next week or so. This is heartbreaking for all parties involved and we know that it’s not these fault of these sweet pups.
We REALLY want them to stay together if at all possible but will be open minded. We want stability. They currently live near Missoula.
