Mowgli is a sweet, goofy, and incredibly loyal 10-year-old Golden Retriever/Chow Chow mix looking for a loving new home where he can enjoy his golden years.
Mowgli is a laid-back, easygoing companion who loves nothing more than good food, lounging around the house, and spending time with his people. He also enjoys going for walks, visiting the dog park, and swimming! He has always loved hiking and exploring the outdoors, although at his age, he prefers shorter adventures followed by plenty of relaxation.
Mowgli is wonderful with children. He doesn't need a large yard or an especially active household. He would be perfectly happy in a relaxed home with someone who enjoys leisurely walks, occasional outings, and having a loyal companion by their side.
