My name is Bentley and I am a real sweetheart and a very loving boy. I have the true golden personality of needing to be near you at all times. I am a champion snuggler and love a lot of attention. If you let me, I would love to snuggle with you on the couch. I might also sneak in bed with you while you are sleeping and wake up by you in the morning.
I get along great with other dogs and like to play with my foster sibling. We go for walks every day and then I am happy and content and will enjoy a nice nap after my walk. Sometimes I am excited and pull on the leash a little, so I still need a little work on learning not to pull. I like to chase tennis balls, catch frisbees and I am a great companion in the car. I am so happy when you get home and get very excited and can be jumpy and mouthy, so I am still learning that is something that I am not supposed to do. Most times, I just can’t help it. I am just so happy that you are home to be with me.
I have had something called petit mal seizures in the past, but I don’t need medicine for them. My foster mom hasn’t seen me have any, so that’s good. Sometimes they happen every couple of months.
I am a wonderful boy and will make a great addition to my new family. How about coming to meet me to see for yourself?

A Golden Gala - Mardi Gras scheduled for May 16th, 2020 has been cancelled and will be replaced by a virtual event. In light of the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic the Board made the tough decision to cancel our 2020 event.
As you know this is our largest fundraiser of the year and this will be a substantial loss for As Good as Gold, but your safety and health are most important to us.
If you were going to become a sponsor or purchase tickets please consider making a donation to help support us in our mission to rescue goldens and golden mixes in need.
You can still buy a Big Dog Raffle ticket. We are sure you will be ready for a getaway once life gets back to normal! Buy your Big Dog Ticket for a 1 in 100 chance to win your choice of five fabulous trips: www.asgoodasgold.org/big-dog-raffle-tickets/
We will also be having an online silent auction with time-sensitive auction items with expiration dates or event dates as well as items that can easily be shipped. These include gift cards, Disney Fast Pass tickets, Cubs tickets, Bears tickets, museum tickets and more. Details will be announced in the coming weeks. We hope you will join us virtually for this event and have some fun bidding!
We want you to know how much we appreciate your support, and we are looking forward to seeing all of you at next year's gala. For more information, please visit: e.givesmart.com/events/fi1/
Funds raised will support As Good as Gold's program services including veterinary care, canine supplies, and public education. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors and attendees, our 2019 event raised, after expenses, more than $99,000. This year we hope to raise even more! Your support is vital to the care of our rescued golden retrievers and golden mixes.
