Comet is a 6-year-old golden retriever who arrived in Minnesota at the end of September. As a breeder release, Comet was initially very shy and unsure in his new environment. Over the past couple of weeks, Comet has learned to walk through doorways, go up and down short flights of stairs, and is beginning to get more comfortable walking on hard floors. Comet is more confident outside and even went on a four day camping trip with his foster family. He is getting better at walking on a leash but often likes to stop in front of his human for scratches. 

 

Comet has had no accidents and is potty trained on a schedule. He can hold his bladder for a long time but does get a potty break at lunchtime. Comet sleeps in his kennel at night or when his foster family is at work. This sweet, lazy boy doesn’t seem to mind a chance to nap!

 

Comet has done well with the resident dog. He often copies what she is doing and will follow her around the house and yard. Comet will chase after balls but hasn’t figured out fetch yet. He has been introduced to simple obedience commands but will need further training.  

 

Although he can still be a little nervous, Comet is a super sweet pup who loves attention. He would do best in a quiet home without lots of stairs. Comet would probably adjust faster with a confident resident dog but has already made great progress in the couple of weeks he has been in rescue. Let’s find this affectionate boy his cuddle buddy!
