Hello!

What a wonderful experience it has been getting a perfect golden retriever! Cash was in a foster home for about four months, and I couldn’t resist him from the moment I walked in the door. He was everything As Good as Gold said he was, and the foster family couldn’t have been more inviting and friendly. They did a wonderful job with Cash!

It’s only been a few weeks, but I’ve had him out chasing tennis balls and doing long walks.

Plus, I had him go swimming at a local indoor dog pool! I think it was his first time in the water. He was hesitant at first, but after 10 minutes, he figured it out and is a natural swimmer!

Dog adoption has to be one of the most rewarding experiences ever.

Cash is definitely as good as gold!
