Available Dogs - Almond
Hello! I'm Almond and I'm a big teddy bear golden retriever. I use to live at the Outer Banks but I'm living with my little seven month-old buddy and his parents in the city now while I look for a forever home. I had a lab brother at the beach, so I'm OK as a single dog or with a canine friend. I'm full of energy and would love to take long walks with you. I prefer a physical fence or no fence, as I had an "invisible" fence before and that invisible fence is invisible to me.
I need to get some pounds off so I'm working on walking farther and farther. I could also burn some calories playing with kids. What me to help you with your fitness?
As you can see from this picture, I am great around little kids and would make a great family dog.
I'm a lover and you can pet me all day it you like. I could go to work with you. I could travel with you. I'd love to play fetch with you. I can also play quietly and snooze in the sun. I'm a good listener. The possibilities are endless. Can I be your best friend? Call me. 'K?
