Hello, my name is Sara and I’m looking for a special forever home. I am an 11 month old Golden Retriever and I know I am super pretty but I am also a SPECIAL NEEDS puppy. My breeder knew there was a problem when I was 3 weeks old, I kept getting urinary tract infections and I often had urine on my back legs. It turns out I was born with a problem with my urinary tract called ectopic ureters. I don't really know what that means, but I do know that sometimes I leak urine accidentally (I am incontinent). I have had a couple procedures done and am much better, now I only leak when I sit and lie down or sleep. There is one more procedure that may help me leak even less. I could have that surgery after I am adopted and it will be optional for my home, however, I may always leak a little and even if it works I may leak as I get older. Lucky for my new home, I am used to wearing panties to keep the house dry and am quite happy with that arrangement.

I currently live on 12 acres with horses, goats, cats and some other dogs with my breeder and I like it here but I am looking for my forever home where I can be the center of someone’s universe. I love squeeky balls, they are my favorite toy. I like to go along to the barn and play with my other friends while the horses are being taken care of. I am very affectionate and outgoing. My breeder refused to have me euthanized (as was recommended) because she knew what a wonderful dog I would be. She also knows it will take a very special home to accept me but that home will be very lucky when I am their dog. I'm a gorgeous girl and very sweet and I need a home that understands my condition but will also spoil me rotten!

Sara
