CASSIDY is a 1 ½ year old English Cream Golden Retriever with puppy spunk DOB 1/14/2022.  Love a Golden Rescue has been taking care of her since she was a little puppy due to medical concerns.  CASSIDY was born with “bladder issues”.  Her bladder is more forward than her doggy friends and she did not have the ability to use her sphincter muscle to control her urine.  After three surgeries, she is now controlling her urine and her body has learned to hold in until she goes outside.  Her life of diapers has ended for now, and we are so excited to have her listed as “special needs” available for adoption. 

CASSIDY is very social.  She travels well in the car for long distances.  She is very smart and learns commands quickly.  She could play all day with her older dog in foster if he was up-to-it.  She loves bones – all kinds of bones and believes they are all hers.  She will even bury them under the dog bed.  She likes to tear apart toys but will keep the squeakies as a secondary toy.  CASSIDY loves to look for wildlife in the backyard, learning how to potty and keep looking-so if you have a backyard near some woods-she will be especially excited. She would love to have windows where she can look outside as well.   She is treat-motivated, so learning commands will be easy for her.  She loves mealtime and does best when separated from other dogs as she will eat their food as well unless her human is standing between them.  She likes to pick up food and water dishes and will need ones that she is not able to grab. 

CASSIDY is an inside hunter and will counter surf, couch surf, trash surf, closet surf, or table surf to carry items that are not hers. She likes to show you the treasure she has. This may be boredom from having to be in a crate during the day while her foster parents work.  When left out of the crate only for even a brief time, CASSIDY will quickly surf.  CASSIDY is affectionate, loves to be near her human.  She is a beautiful and sweet 60-pounds of white fur.  She is fine to have her nails clipped and loves to be brushed.    

We credit Cassidy success to a specialist in St Louis and for this reason, as it is a complicated case, should problems arise her new home should be within driving distance of St Louis so her treatment for her bladder condition can be continued with that vet.
