ADOPTED!
I am one happy guy who is full of life and does everything in a big way! When I greet you, I may bury my head right in for some scratches. I am a happy, loving dog who wants nothing more than just to be with you. I am a typical golden who will be your shadow and lay near you and love any attention you will give me.
I have a lot of energy and would love an energetic family. I will need a fenced in yard as I love to watch for open doors and will dash out and run around the neighborhood when given the chance. I love being outside and will lay on the porch taking it all in. I am fascinated by squirrels, birds and rabbits too.
I love everyone I meet; dogs, people young and old. I am a quick learner and basic obedience commands are quite easy for me. I am learning how to walk nicely on a leash too. I used to spend a lot of time in a crate, now I am not too fond of being put in one. A family that is home a lot would be my perfect life.
Are you ready for a fun loving, energetic boy to brighten your days?

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.
