Here's what National Today says about the holiday...

“Get ready to celebrate a furry friend because National Golden Retriever Day is every February 3! The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the US, and for good reason. The calm temperament, intelligence, and playfulness make them ideal best friends for any dog lover."

This is true, and being one of the best and more traditional dogs in the U.S., retrievers also find their way into all kinds of different mixed breeds.

Plus, according to National Today, "they make great disability assistance animals, like seeing eye dogs for the blind and hearing dogs for the deaf. They’ve ended up saving lives in these roles—no wonder they have a holiday named after them."

We've listed all of the retriever mixes currently available for adoption in the Treasure Valley at the West Valley Humane Society and the Idaho Humane Society. They all look so happy and ready to find their forever homes.
