Max, Golden Retriever For Adoption In Nevada, Iowa
Location:
Nevada, IA
Description:
This handsome hunk is now available for adoption! His eyes sure are captivating! 8/10/24: Read below what his foster mom has to say: I'm happy to report Max is ready to look for his forever home. Max is a 1.5-year-old Goldendoodle. He looks all Golden, has the most beautiful eyes, and has the long legs of a standard Poodle. A DNA test proved he is 55% standard Poodle and 45% Golden. He was surrendered when the surrendering owner's husband found he caused his allergies to act up. Max does shed more like a Golden than a Doodle. Max could be the easiest foster we have ever had. He loves his people, never met a dog that he can't get along with, and puts up with the grandkids. Max is high energy, but he reminds us of a greyhound, he will run around and then crash on the couch until the next opportunity to run around occurs. He is very sweet and we adore this dog, but know there is a better situation for him. His only issues are that he has separation anxiety and a huge prey drive. We are working on the separation anxiety by very slowly increasing his time alone in the crate. Having another dog in the home should help, but it will be a work in progress. In the interim, the willingness to hire someone to come in and sit with him if you do not have someone home will be imperative. He will require a decent-sized fenced-in yard to run off his boundless energy. If you have bunnies and squirrels he will joyously chase them. Another dog of similar energy level would be best as sometimes he plays pretty hard. On occasion, we have to remind him he needs to settle down, but that could get better once he has a dog buddy to play with consistently. He does listen to corrections very well from other dogs, but a play buddy is necessary. That dog will also help him down the road when left alone. I don't think he would do well in a home with cats as they look too much like squirrels and he has been known to chase my son's cat and not in a way that says "I want to play with you". We have 4 grandkids ages 15, 11, 3, and 9 mo. He enjoys the 2 older grandkids and the youngest, but the 3-year-old can be a bit much for him. I think his kid requirement is more dependent on the kid's behaviors vs. setting an age. If there are kids in the home they should be relatively quiet and calm. Max is a wonderful dog, he needs a home willing to work with his insecurities until he develops more confidence.
