“Hi, my name is Newman! Don’t you just love my name?”

Newman is a handsome 1 year-old male with a gorgeous red-toned coat and white/blonde flags and undercoat. His coat is beautifully soft and shiny, a far cry from when he first came to us (he was picked up by Animal Control and never claimed). He was terribly underweight (only 48 lbs) and his skin and coat were flakey and dry. Now that his diet has improved, he’s gained weight and after taking a shower with his foster dad, his skin and coat are perfect (not a flake in sight).

His foster parents have taught Newman sit, lie down, and to not jump up on people – he’s turned out to be quick learner and a really good boy. Newman just loves to be outside – chasing squirrels, possums, birds or whatever – and he knows how to use a doggie door. He’s totally housebroken and has never had an accident in the house. He’s already neutered, up to date on his shots, and on heartworm preventative, so he has no health issues whatsoever.

Newman hasn’t been around children or cats, but he seems very comfortable with the little girls next door – no barking or anything… he just licks their fingers through the fence.

Newman says with a big grin: “If you are looking for a handsome, playful, smart & sweet young golden, I am your boy!”
