Jimmy
Los Angeles, CABreed: Mutt
Weight: 55 lbs
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
My name is Aurelia, and I adopted a loving lab mix named Jimmy, who is now 1 year and 9 months old. Jimmy is incredibly friendly and playful, especially with other dogs. He used to live with a pit mastiff mix named Mocca, and they had a sibling-like bond; playing, arguing, and occasionally growling at each other. While Jimmy doesn’t enjoy playing ball, he loves running around with other dogs, especially if they’re chasing something. He’s very food-motivated and has a mischievous side; like the time he stole a slice of pizza from the trash and cleverly hid it between the sofa cushions. Despite his playful antics, I adore him, though he still needs to learn to stay calm during visits to the dog park. We would definitely love a meet and greet! We’re always excited to meet new friends!

Louise is entering her older years and is less receptive to nee dog friends, but she loves other dogs when she learns that they’re our friends (like after a walk together). I’m here because I’ve been dreaming of a community like this and was so happy to see that such a thing already exists. It’s always particularly stressful around the holidays, so we’re hoping to connect with some folks that stay local during that time. I love taking our dogs on walks and hikes. I always keep dogs on leash and don’t do dog parks. Our house has a nice back yard where the goofs can run around. I usually work from home, so they can go in and out to the back yard as they please during the day. Hope to meet some nice, like-minded people here. Thanks!

And unlike most Goldens he doesn’t retrieve or carry items around very miuch. He is pretty lazy and doesn’t require walks. If you have a back yard, he’ll be very happy. My other dog Sami is as lazy as they come. She is mostly trained and will slowly listen to you. She lays around 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time she is moving from napping place to the next napping place. She is house broken She doesn’t bark. She doesn’t chew.. She is crate trained. She is also untypical of a Golden and rarely retrieves or carry items around

She loves and is very friendly with all people and children, and is very friendly, if sometimes shy/submissive, with other dogs. She only has 1 eye due to an accident that happened before we adopted her. She's not much of a walker ie - she doesn't go for walks, so she's very easy to take care of. She just goes outside, does her business, and then comes right back in. She also gets pretty scared of garbage trucks and fireworks, but she usually just rides it out in a bathroom. She's super sweet and lovely - hopefully you think so too!
