Baker is a wonderful 9-year old boy who was turned into animal control because his owner was too ill to take care of him.

It appears that he has always been well cared for, as he is in very good health and he has nice manners. He knows “sit” and “down”, and probably other commands we haven’t tried yet. Baker makes a good doorbell and does an excellent job alerting you to visitors at the door.

Baker enjoys going in the car, walking with you or just hanging out wherever you are. He is more of a Golden Catcher than a Retriever. Tug rope is his favorite game, and he still has some pep, but is generally a mellow boy.

He is good with other dogs, cats, and is friendly to everyone he meets. He also loves a good scratch on his hips and will do a dance for you when you find just the right spot to scratch… “oooh, that feels gooooood”.

Baker is a gentle, sweet and calm boy who loves attention and leans in for petting; his foster dad describes him as a love cushion. This Golden Oldie deserves a devoted forever home to spend his senior years in where he will be loved and pampered. If you are looking for a polite, gentle companion to spend your time with, come meet Baker.
