Check me out! I’m Megan* and even though I’m 10 years old, my foster says I have the energy of a three-year- old! I run and play with the best of them! I’m on the smallish side for a Golden Mix, just 50 pounds.

I had heartworms when I got to TGRR so I’ve been with a foster family for many weeks while I’ve been treated to get rid of those horrible, dangerous things. During that time, I get along with most dogs, but sometimes I’m finicky about which canines I want to be friends with.

I’ve not been around cats or kids so I don’t know about them.

I’ve got a couple of naughty traits, I must admit. If you leave me unsupervised, I get a little anxious and will look for things to chew up (socks, gloves, etc.), so it’s best that your house remains puppy-proofed. The good news is that I crate well. I even go in my crate throughout the day and nap in there with the door open. And at bedtime, I curl up in my crate and don’t make a peep so everyone in the house can get their beauty sleep.

My other naughty trait is that I learned how to climb up the chain link fence and escape at my first foster home. So I need to go to a home that has a privacy fence.

When I first walk on the leash, I pull a bit but I’m easily corrected and will walk beside you for the most part. If we walk to places I’m familiar with, you can count on me to walk with a loose leash. It’s just new adventures that get me over-excited. But hey, that’s how it goes with almost every dog, isn’t it?

I know how to sit on command for a treat (love me some treats) and will come when called. Foster Mom says I’m a fast learner, I’m smart, and that I’m eager to please. I’m always up for playing or going for a walk, but my favorite thing is a good cuddle.

I hope you don’t let my age deter you – I’ve got lots of life left in me and I’m hoping I can spend it with you!
