Meet Goldie, a gentle soul with a heart full of potential who is still adjusting to the busy world of shelter life.

This sweet girl finds the shelter environment a bit overwhelming, so she’s taking her time to observe, feel safe, and begin to trust the new people around her. Goldie may be a little cautious at first, but with a respectful, slow approach and a calm presence, she starts to show her tender and affectionate side. She loves gentle pets and will softly paw at your hand when you stop, asking for just a little more love.

Once she feels comfortable, she’ll even lay down beside you, leaning in close to soak up all the warmth and reassurance she can. Goldie is looking for a patient, understanding home that can offer her the time and support she needs to build her confidence and fully come out of her shell. She’s still learning some of the basics, including going outside for bathroom breaks and becoming more comfortable walking on a leash, so a consistent routine and gentle guidance will be important for her success. With the right environment and loving care, Goldie is sure to blossom into the happy, playful girl she’s meant to be—you may even catch her playing with toys when she’s feeling extra relaxed and joyful!

She is a truly wonderful dog who simply needs a little extra time, kindness, and encouragement to shine. If you have a quiet home, a soft spot in your heart, and the patience to let Goldie grow at her own pace, she just might become your most loyal and loving companion!
