Salonva, congratulations on the adoption of Wally (cute name). Please share a picture of him!

I thought I had posted a picture. I tried again and it is not cooperating. I guess I have not posted a photo since gardenweb became houzz and I don't use photobucket any more. I thought I could upload from my computer? ((help)).

For what it's worth he is a total mix but we think some hound, maybe some lab, golden retriever, who knows. hoping to get a photo posted soon.

I have the best luck saving a photo to my desktop on my computer, then opening a thread, hit the photo icon below and go to desktop,where it's easy to find/see. Click on pic, hit enter and it will appear here.

Can't wait to see Wally! Sounds like a good for for you.

I've never met a golden male or female who isn't 100% hooked into people. They are THE most loving breed I think.

Trying again... Olychick that is exactly what I have been doing or thinking I am doing. Giving a try once more.

Yay it worked!!!

Oh, Wally, you are adorable! Congratulations salvona. What great adventures lay ahead for you with your new sweetie.

What a handsome, sweet fellow! And all legs, definitely hound :)

Ha yes! We think mostly hound as well. The story is he came with a bunch of other dogs from Alabama to this shelter in Penn. They do get lots of dogs transported up. He was neutered before he got to Penn. More likely that he is a hound mix. No southern accent though, just really calm and sweet.

Oh, I think he's half fawn with those legs! cute! Actually, in that pose he looks almost like some greyhound in there.

How cute! Wally is the perfect name for him.

What a cutie. Look at those long legs. You should have named him Tall-y.

He's cute! Glad you adopted!

Hound Dawg -- what a sweetie!

Ohmygoodness, he's absolutely completely adorable and has a perfect name!!! Many happy adventures to all of you!

Oh is he cute! And obviously quite happy with his new home!

Cute pup, and I love the name!! Congrats!

He looks quite content!! Congrats to Wally on his forever home!

Wally is so cute and looks right at home. He’s going to grow into those long legs!

Congratulations on your new baby boy Salonva!

Oh congrats and good for you!! Handsome boy, I feel like he's going to be your husbands best friend...and a good cuddle-buddy for both of you...

I fought it for a while, but I then I decided that I will never be without a dog...they bring happiness and I can't turn that down, ever.

Lola (my own pound puppy) thinks you should get more.... :)

Wally is adorable!! Welcome to GW cutiepie!

He is so cute!!! I have a Lola too, amongst the sighthounds. Lucky puppy!

Very cute! Golden dogs are the best! HAHA! Our girl is a little goldie girl too!

He’s perfection! Looks like an American lab to me...we have one just like him and I have to warn you, those eyes will make your heart melt every time!

Wally seems to have settled right in! Coming from AL, do you think he's a hurricane victim? Thank you for giving him a happy home.

Congratulations! We owned female dogs throughout my childhood, and over the first 35 years of our marriage. We then rescued a male. He was more affectionate than any female we’d ever owned. We added a second male a couple of years ago, and he is even more affectionate. He always has to be touching you, and loves being on your lap. He’s an Australian Shepherd, so not a lap Dog! My females, like sushi’s experiences, have always been more independent. Wally is a great name.

Cute! Congratulations!

It's funny, but I know this perception for affectionate pets came from my parents. Female dogs. Male cats.

Most of my dogs have been female, but I had a fabulous male Australian Shepherd many years ago.

Wally is a handsome, leggy boy! Rescue pets are just wonderful. They seem so appreciative, at least my 3. I love seeing him happy sprawled in the chair! All of my upholstered seating is covered with various things, too!

Last night was below freezing here in Maine, and I had three cuddlers on top of the bed covers keeping me cozy. My female, Ginger, who is maybe 1/3 the size of the boys, rules the roost with an iron paw, so the thought that females are more mild doesn't hold true here. She does 'mother' them, if they come in snow covered, by licking the snow off them.

Hello Wally! You are adorable. Lucky puppy and lucky owners!

Wally is a great name. What a sweet face! Wishing many, many happy years to your family.

You've got a good buddy there and a darned handsome one.

Aww...what a sweet and lucky guy!!

Precious!! Congrats to you and Wally!! Many of my neighbors have goldens, and the females are definitely more independent than the males. The male ones, on our street at least, are heart-meltingly sweet but not signing up for Mensa anytime soon, lol!! (I’m sure there are exceptions!)

Wally is adorable!! And quite at home already!

Nini--right!!!! On the Mensa for the males!! Big goobers of love!

What a cutie but as others have said - a whole lot of leg. Welcome Wally.

He seems to be saying, "Home at last".

thank you all. It's funny because he really is't so tall at all. It must be the angle of the photo and I believe he was flexing his legs. But yes he's a cutie. That is funny about mensa. We did have one male dog and 2 females (prior to Wally-- over the years) and yes the male was much more sweet and definitely not a rocket scientist. The females were not sweet but so smart one in particular I used to call Einstein. We will see how Wally fares!

Wally is adorable. Those legs!!

Sorry to hijack your thread, but we also adopted a lab/hound mix puppy about 2 weeks ago. Meet Murphy!

OMG, that face AMJ!!! I am in love with Murphy! His face looks like one of those beautiful hunting dogs they sometimes put on the cover of “Garden and Gun.”

Murphy is adorable ! And actually that was on my short list of names:) He looks a lot more lab than hound.

Murphy and Wally are both adorable. So glad they for their perfect homes.

Murphy is so handsome! I have this urge to kiss him on that beautiful black nose. He has a very thoughtful look on his face.

Murphy &Wally need to have a play date!!!!

Murphy is adorable, as well!!

Both are beautiful dogs! Congratulations.

Salonva - Murphy also came from the south. I’m not sure exactly where. Our local Humane Society has a “Love Train” program where they get dogs from kill shelters and bring them here where they will be adopted. The truck comes every two weeks or so, and honestly, people get a number before they even open so they have a chance to adopt. There were 7 who came from Murphy’s litter, in addition to many other dogs. DH happened to be home early from work when we got the notification of their arrival (we asked for notifications for labs under 6 months old). We decided to look while our kids were are school.

The man in front of us was looking at Murphy (the last male, which was our preference). He pulled the paperwork and said he was adopting him. We looked at the females but I just didn’t feel that “click” with them. So we left. Later that evening I noticed that the online post for Murphy hadn’t been pulled yet. When I called to clarify they said he was available! They agreed to hold him only if we came NOW. So.... kids got a surprise visit to the humane society. We all fell in love with him.

His whole litter had chemical burns on their back which was frightening. 1. I felt terrible for the pups, but 2. I was afraid of what type of damage there may be. Luckily, Murphy is almost completely healed and his hair is growing back. The staff at the humane society said it looked like in undiluted flea dip gone wrong, but we will never know what happened. I like to think it wasn’t something malicious.
