Looking for a home

Bonnie is a beautiful female Golden Retriever. She weighs approximately 65 lbs. She is currently in a Board and Train program because she has lived with a female beagle, with whom she has been constantly fighting since she was a young puppy. Her trainer states she is terrified of all dogs. doing much better on a leash. We are looking for a home experienced with dogs, but not currently having any dogs living or visiting the house. She met Dr Liu, a vet behaviorist who has diagnosed her with anxiety and prescribed Zoloft for the behavior to reduce her stress. She may need it long-term. We are also open to having teenage kids. Prefer one adult who works from home. Reach out to your area coordinator if you have the perfect home. She is being fostered in San Jose.
