Hi, my name is Charming and I fit my name very well. I love everyone I meet. I love to go on walks and be outside. Running around in the yard is great fun. I am an active boy outside and love to play catch with a tennis ball. But, inside I am a mellow guy and love to just lay around. The neighbor kids were so nice to me and gave me what is now my favorite toy. It’s a rubber squeaky pig that makes the coolest noises, it oinks! I love it!
A close second to running around the yard is going for car rides. I love to just look out the window and take in all the scenery. I like the adventure of going anywhere my foster parents want to go. I even like to go on boat rides! I love being petted, but what golden doesn’t? If you stop petting me, I will let you know that I would like more attention. I love being near you like a typical golden, and I am even a good snuggler.
I won’t be able to be in a home with other dogs or cats. I want to be your only companion and not share any attention with other four-legged creatures. If you are looking for an easy-going companion that will give you so much love in return for yours, then come and meet me and I can be your Prince Charming.
Remember – NO DOGS, NO CATS

16th Annual Rescue Reunion Picnic - September 7th!
ALL As Good as Gold member families and adoptive families are invited to attend with their well-behaved dogs (even if your dogs didn’t come from As Good as Gold or aren’t goldens).
This year the picnic will be held at St. James Farm in Warrenville, Illinois which is located just north of Butterfield Road between Naperville and Winfield Roads. For a map, click here: www.dupageforest.org/hubfs/Places-to-Go/Documents/St.-James-Farm/St-James-Farm-Map.pdf?t=15294415...
Thee picnic starts at 1 p.m. with lunch served from 2 – 3:30 p.m. Buffet lunch cost is $13 for adults, $5 for children ages 5-12, and free for children under the age of 5. No alcoholic beverages will be served and none should be brought into the preserve. Our picnic location includes a covered food service and picnic table area that seats approximately 200 people. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs if they’d like to sit in the grassy areas. Dogs must remain leashed at all times. There are porta potties within a short walking distance; however, there is no running water at the forest preserve. We’ll have hand sanitizing materials available, but attendees should bring a water bowl and water for their dog(s).
In past years, we have averaged 100 dogs at the picnic. This can be very difficult for dogs that don’t get along well with other dogs. If you know that being around other dogs can be stressful for your dog, please be kind to your dog and let him or her spend the afternoon at home.
• Canine Good Citizen Testing (see what’s involved) Testing will be available at 1:30 pm or 2:30 pm, please consider pre-registering. It is complimentary for members and $10.00/dog for non-members. Dogs that pass the tests will be awarded a blue ribbon. If you have a well trained dog don’t pass this up!
• Dog massages (proceeds benefit AGaG) and other games and contests will be ongoing throughout the afternoon.
• If you ordered a AGaG 2020 calendar you may pick it us here and save on shipping.
The picnic goes on rain or shine! As always, there will be a selection of As Good as Gold merchandise for sale during the picnic. This is one of our no sales tax days, so it’s a great time to shop for AGaG merchandise! Please respond with your registration and payment by Saturday, August 31, 2019.
