My name is Clifford…like the Big Red Dog…only I’m not a hound dog…I’m a Golden Retriever dog…or you could actually say…PUPPY! I was supposed to be a stud dog, but I’m more like a stud puppy. I’m two years old, but still have my puppy ways. Maybe that’s because no one took the time to put me through basic training. So, let’s start with that…I’m told I will need it. I’m also a big puppy dog, which means that you need to be sturdy. I’m a super happy and affectionate boy, but I haven’t spent much time around people or other dogs, so I get very excited. They call it ‘socialization’ – and I need that too! But I’m a joyful boy, full of exuberance. I love to play ball and “chase me” which helps to burn off some puppy energy. If you can give me equal parts attention, training, and exercise, I will become your awesome adventure dog! You should know that I’m a little too excited to meet kitties…so probably no kitties for me. And kids need to be sturdy like my grownup(s). I don’t want to accidentally plow them over when I greet them! Like all puppies – you get out what you put in. I’m willing to put in the work. Are you??
