Update from his foster mom--

As you can see, Chief's coat is growing back and he will be a good-looking red boy.  He is doing well in his foster home and is playful with the other dogs.

 
Chief came into the HSSM after his owner passed away.  He had been shaved but looks like he will be a reddish color.  Chief knows basic obedience commands, is housebroken and gets along with people and other dogs.  His energy level is medium to high and needs daily exercise.  He is in good health except for the occasional minor ear problems that Goldens are prone to have.  He is a very happy dog, good temperament, and eager to learn and please.  If you are interested in him, please fill out an application on this website.
