Personality: Sloan is a Golden pup, with distinctive long ears much like a cocker spaniel. He is the brother of Sandy (16-019) and now they are fostered together after their initial veterinarian exams, which indicated Sloan is fundamentally in good shape. However, Sloan has contracted mange, just like his sister, and it has progressed farther in his case. He is receiving serious treatment from his GRR fosters getting medication, medicated baths and lots of TLC. As you can see from his photos, while he heals, a fancy t-shirt is just the attire for helping to squelch the need to scratch.
In his fosters’ home, meal time is great. No more extreme competition for food. In fact, he is on the way to catching up with his sister in the weight department. As seen in the photos, Goldens will prevail, as they hang out on the couch, in the back yard and in their shared condo crate. He is quickly de-stressing and showing his true personality that is playful (a stick can be the best toy ever), affectionate and energetic. What a treasure he is becoming!
Ideal home: Sloan is quickly thriving in his foster’s home, and every indication is that he is a great companion. His forever home should be prepared for a high energy guy. Basic training will be the starting point for Sloan with plenty of play time available. A home with one or more other dogs also appears to suit him just fine.
