Risa, the Golden Retriever

Our family welcomed a new doggy, a Golden Retriever, which we have decided to call her Risa.

She's about 2 years old and had not been well taken cared of by the previous owner.
We took her over and decided to be responsible for her life starting a few weeks ago.

Bathing Risa for the first time we got her home.

Golden retrievers...my first knowledge about this breed of dog is when I watched the Air Bud movie many years ago where there's this GR that knows how to play basketball.

I have learned that they're quite a popular breed, amiable, friendly, bred with an instinct to retrieve, easy to train, etc.

We remove the tick and flea off her, fed her meds for heart worm, dewormed her so far, the next thing would be her vaccination.

Risa, although been through a terrible life before this, is not out of hope, although still uneasy sometimes, she has learn to trust the family, she has found her place in the family.
In a few more months time, i would like to see her being more happy, healthier too.
We taught her to sit but she's still quite confused with the command.
Also, she's a retriever that seems to be too stressed to retrieve yet.

I hope to tell her,

Good Luck Risa, we'll take care of you from now on, that you will be safe with us. This is your home now.

Took Risa on her first walk around the neighborhood when she got better.
