Are you looking for a sweet senior to be your companion? I am almost 11 years old and I have spent my life creating lots of golden puppies. Now that I am with As Good as Gold I have hit the retirement jackpot, I am learning what it’s like to have the golden life. I enjoy running around my foster home’s fenced in yard and checking out all kinds of smells now that I have the freedom to be a normal dog.
When I first got to my foster home, I was nervous because I was not used to being in a house. I chose my safe place in the laundry room and any time I felt uneasy, I was happy to retreat to my space to relax. I have come so far in my foster home and am slowly building up my confidence. I love collecting toys and bringing them to my safe place.
I love all people, kids and dogs and love any attention you will give me. I may be a senior, but I certainly don’t act like one. I have great energy and act like I am 5 years old. I have learned to walk on a leash, and enjoy going with you for rides in the car, although I need a little boost to get in.
I will need a fenced in yard in my forever home since I am still getting used to so many new things. It would be great to have another dog in my new home, but it’s not necessary.
I have beautiful, creamy locks of hair and a beautiful plume of a tail. My gentle face and happy eyes will melt your heart. I am ready to move right in!
Male, 10 Years Old
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?
