Bio:

It’s been a year since he joined our family, and we wanted to tell you how much we love our Canelo Bear! Sadly, he was surrendered to As Good as Gold due to a divorce, but his misfortune became our good fortune last October when he came to live with us!

Initially, we were a bit trepidatious because he weighted over 105 pounds, and we were worried how he might interact with our 20 pound pugs. But we quickly learned that there isn’t one mean or dangerous cell in his body. He is a true gentleman and everyone’s best friend.

Known to everyone in the neighborhood, he insists on getting pets from strangers everywhere when we take our daily two-mike walks. He makes fast friends of lawn folk, construction workers, mailmen, and UPS drivers; I swear people are more excited to see him than me!

Thank you for trusting us to give him a loving home. He is adored by us and our pugs.

Gratefully,
Canelo Bear’s family
