What's up dog?
Archie is a golden retriever with a heart as golden as his coat. Warm, kind, and endlessly gentle, he has a way of making everyone around him feel just a little better without even trying. Whether hes offering a soft nudge to a stranger or resting his head on a friends lap, Archie brings an easy kind of comfort. His joy is contagious, and his calm presence grounds even the most anxious hearts. With children, he becomes playful and patient with adults, hes a steady companion who seems to know exactlwhen they need him most. People are drawn to him. Smiles appear as soon as he trots into a room. Even those who say they arent dog people soften in his presence. He doesnt need to perform, his gift is simply being himself. Loving. Gentle. Pure.
