23-034 Charlie , another unneutered 6-month-old Golden puppy, came from an owner who did not have time to train him. He is energetic, mischievous and will chew anything he can reach including the wall. He is not leash-trained. He was placed with an adoptive couple in Cave Creek and their two resident dogs,  Marlie  and  Maggie .  Charlie  had  never been socialized, so everyone though it was cute watching him learn how to play – his preference is with the younger  Marlie . He also loves to splash around on the Baja step of the pool. They renamed him  Jackson  and are having a great time with him. He will be neutered around 1 year of age. A message from the adopter: 

Jackson is doing great! When he first arrived, he sniffed  every corner of every room in the house and backyard. He seemed more like a Bloodhound than a Golden – he is extremely curious about everything! His sisters,  Maggie  (10) and  Marlie  (5) are lov- ing the energy he has brought to our home and so are we! Since  Jackso n arrived, he has learned how to swim in our pool, which  he thoroughly enjoys! He loves learning new tricks, specifically  “righty tighty”, “lefty  Lucy ”, “high five” and “sit pretty”. He  immediately learned how to ring the “potty bell” when he wants to go out. Now he has us trained to open the door every time he feels like going out, even if he doesn’t need to go potty. We are slowly introducing him to new tricks and he’s learning a lot from his sisters. He loves to cuddle with everyone and is very persistent.  Jackson  has been a wonderful addition to our home and we could not be happier!
