This is 2 year old Gopher – he looks like a chocolate retriever – so think chocolate lab meets golden retriever, but he is 100% golden at heart! He is beautiful and his new mom thinks so too! Yes, Gopher has been adopted! Gopher’s mom recently lost her beloved chocolate lab Java to cancer. We think Java sent Gopher mom’s way! Java knew that Gopher was just what they needed to help heal their human hearts. Now, mom and the kids are smiling again. While Gopher can never replace Java, he will certainly do his best to make them happy! Now Gopher has a terrific new mom and 4 young kids to help raise. Gopher would also like to thanks his friends, Ripley, Dexter and Waldo Saracino, for helping him get over him heartworms – with mom and dad’s approval of course. These guys know just how good family life can be and wanted to make sure that Gopher got his chance. Now Gopher is healthy and happy.
