Are you looking for a wonderful boy to sit right next to you and chill? I am a great companion and ready to make someone very happy. I love walks, going for rides in the car and especially love people. I love to be with you and to keep you company. The more you pet me, the better. I like to chase after my tennis ball and will play tug with my rope toy.
I get along with other dogs, I just need some time to warm up to them at my own pace. My foster sister tries to get me to play with her, but she often doesn’t succeed. I always want to be with foster mom and keep her in my sight, so playing isn’t part of my agenda. I am a little afraid of thunder, but as long as I can be right with you, I am completely content.
Foster mom says that my most endearing quality is everything! She says I am the most perfect dog. I am ready to show you what a perfect boy I am, will you add me to your family?
Male, 12 Years Old, Mix
JEFFERSON'S JOURNEY
Jefferson was found out in the cold during one of this winter’s terrible freezes. Hungry and injured, and so sweet and friendly.
A Good Samaritan turned Jefferson into Animal Control, who then got in touch with As Good as Gold. Jefferson could not stop wagging his tail, but we all knew right away something was wrong. He was bleeding and needed immediate medical attention.
We had no idea how much pain Jefferson was in until the veterinarian examined him. This poor boy had been running with a shotgun wound!
The bullet was lodged so deep that the vet decided it was safer to leave it. Pulling it out might cause even more damage. He closed the wound and stopped the bleeders.
One week later, Jefferson was healthy enough to make the trip upstate to his new foster home. His journey to recovery was just beginning.
The shotgun wound needed constant monitoring to prevent infection while it healed. He was heartworm positive. And to top it off, Jefferson came down with kennel cough!
Jefferson’s golden personality shines through it all. Happy, sweet, and gentle, and sticking close to his foster family where he knows he is safe.
We could not have stepped in to save this handsome, loving guy without your support.
When all is said and done, Jefferson's medical procedures will cost nearly $2,000.
Now, because of you, Jefferson will finally be pain free and get his chance for a loving forever home.
Will you help us cover the vet bills so Jefferson and goldens like him receive the medical care they need to be healthy, happy, and safe?
