Breed: Golden retriever (as with all rescues, possible mix)
Age: 8 years old
Medical: Neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Previously paralyzed, Bagel has undergone multiple surgeries to regain his ability to walk. He is left with a slight limp. Stairs are also difficult for him so a home with a limited number of them will be needed. Bagel should be kept at a healthy weight at all times. Joint supplements would also be beneficial. Some ear gunk (confirmed no bacteria) & previous ear issues so should be monitored.

✅Kids. Older and dog savvy only please!
Meet Bagel! Describe as calm and loving, Bagel loves to follow his foster around the house and is always ready for pets, pawing at you to keep petting him if you stop. Bagel also loves food and will dance and stomp his feet whenever it’s meal time.
Bagel has a great temperament and calmly greets every dog and person he passes. He loves his walks and being outside. Bagel will occasionally halt on walks. A backyard or adventures like dog friendly patios where Bagel can hang out outside would be great.
Bagel loves attention and would do better in a home with his owners being home more often than not, and integrating him into their daily routine.
His gentle nature would likely make him great around children, but it should be noted that he occasionally gently mouthes, which may be an issue for very young toddlers. Even though Bagel loves people sitting next to him and petting him, he doesn’t like being hugged. If you hug him, he tends to wiggle away and find a new spot to sit. Any kids would need to be respectful of this.
