Look into my eyes and I will melt your heart. I am a beautiful, red haired girl. I am 7 years old, but you would never know it. I have the energy of a youngster. I will go and go and go until I finally wear out and take a nap.
I am a typical velcro golden and stick to you like glue. I follow you everywhere, bounding up and down the stairs to stay ahead of you, and when things settle down for the evening, I will curl up at your feet.
I love to take walks, but need to learn to stop barking at all of the other dogs we see along the way. I also will bark to let you know when there is a stranger at the door, but then know they are there just to see me and I get scratches. If I know we are going outside, I do my happy dance and jump around in circles. I can get stressed riding in a car, but I am getting better.
I love to run around the back yard chasing squirrels, scattering the birds, and tracking interesting smells. I am living in a home with other goldens and they are really helping me learn what are good things. I have become more confident and don’t feel so worried anymore. They are teaching me so much, so I will need a home with another dog.
I am having fun learning new things, like walking nicely on a leash. If you are looking for a girl to add to your family of two legged and four legged residents, then I am your next companion!

Taylor was facing his last hours when As Good as Gold got the call from a shelter. This senior stray had a severe upper respiratory infection and was on the euthanasia list.
The shelter staff saw that he was so sweet and clearly not ready to give up on life.
So they called, hoping that we could rescue him that day before he would be euthanized. Of course one of our volunteers went right away!
Poor Taylor was in very rough shape. Life on the streets had not been kind to him. He had one of the worst ear infections we have ever seen, severe dental disease, plus the respiratory infection. Our veterinarian also discovered fatty tumors that needed to be surgically removed. Taylor was in a lot of pain, but so friendly and gentle.
Over the last month he has had extensive medical procedures and medications and is feeling so much better! And thanks to your continued support of As Good as Gold, we were able to be right there with him.
Taylor is now a new dog! He loves to go for walks and greet all of his new friends. Before he would barely move - he is a testament to how important it is to address chronic pain and infection. And his cough is almost gone too.
Will you make a special gift today and help Taylor and other Goldens get that second chance at life? Please visit: asgoodasgold.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AGaGDonations/tabid/67528/Default.aspx
