Personality

Meet Cider!
Cider is an adorable female Golden Retriever puppy with a classic, blocky head and a whole lot of charm. She has an incredibly loving temperament—sweet, affectionate, and always ready to share her gentle heart with anyone who gives her attention.

This chunky little girl has a goofy side that pops out often, whether she’s clumsily tumbling during playtime or making silly faces that are impossible not to smile at. But when she’s done entertaining everyone, she’s just as happy to curl up for one of her beloved naps.

Cider’s love for food is matched only by her love for people. She would thrive in any family setting and is always excited to be part of whatever her humans are doing. Whether it’s splashing around at the lake, exploring the outdoors, or simply snuggling up on the couch, Cider is ready for every adventure—big or small.

If you’re looking for a lovable, happy-hearted companion who brings joy wherever she goes, Cider is your girl.
