Alex is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

He was left out.

Alex is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 1-year and 4-month-old, 79-pound, male, Golden Retriever mix.

When Alex was a puppy, he stayed indoors. As he grew, his family left him outdoors. He was surrendered to Rancho Coastal Humane Society then adopted right away. Alex was returned. He was too energetic for his older family.

He would love an active family who could give the time and attention that a young dog needs. If you’re in the market for a hiking buddy, consider adopting Alex. He likes hikes, water, and playing fetch.
