Archie

A description of temperament / personality / preferences: Archie is a loving, affectionate golden puppy that is well behaved. He’s really a good boy. I’ve trained and socialized him since a young age, by carrying him around in malls and streets, walking by dog parks, and walk him in home depot. He’s playful and non-aggressive to other animals and people of all ages and race, and has no issues in daycare. Being a golden, he’s a ‘velcro’ dog, and wants to be with his family members at all times. He is used to sleeping in my bedroom, either on my bed or by the bed on the floor or his bed. Upon adoption, I will provide a full ‘tips & tricks’ cheat sheet for him so you know exactly what works and what doesn’t, and what he’s used to. Description of the training and care I did: At 10 weeks of age, I trained him through a 6-week long ‘Puppy Training’ program by petsmart, so from an early age he has been socialized with people and animals. He walks without pulling on a 6 feet long leash (he’s used to that length). He knows sit, down, stay, ‘no’, and ‘leave it’ (godsend command) really well, and waits for ‘ok’ signal before he starts eating once his kibble has been dispensed in his bowl. He loves people of all ages, and does not bark at other dogs or other animals. He loves daycare. Health status: He has excellent health overall. Archie is a ~1.5 year old male, born December 23, 2024. He was neutered on 10/30/2025 (at about 1 year old), to allow for full hormonal developmental potential. He has had his full vaccine schedule as per recommendations, and just had his three-year rabies shot. He has no known allergies, and good weight. The only illness he got was oral papilloma warts in February 2026 – from daycare – and it went away on its own after 3 weeks. This early exposure means he’s now immune for the rest of his life, so this shouldn’t reoccur in the future. I almost never feed him sweet or processed foods, including popcorn or popcups and the like. I stick to Hill’s kibble, boiled chicken and fruits. I give him apple slices daily. Reason for re-homing: When I adopted Archie from a reputed breeder, my work arrangement at that time was fully remote. Due to changing life circumstances, I had to change jobs and now my work is in-person, with 20% of traveling time. Since I live alone with him, and although I hate having to separate myself form him, It took the difficult to re-home him for the sake of his happiness over mine. He is also still quite young, so our separation should be less traumatic for him than if he was much older.
