I am a mellow and laid back guy who just LOVES to be with people. I had a rough life before coming to As Good as Gold and it showed. I didn’t have much hair and my skin was in bad shape. With good food and some thyroid pills I am feeling pretty good.
I have a great sense of humor. I love to rub my head on people affectionately, shovel my head under the covers, bump open doors or bump your elbow until you give me attention. I love being touched, especially anywhere on my face. A good massage is always nice. I love to be in the same room with you, preferably in the traffic path or on your feet so I can be sure not to miss anything.
I love to go for walks, or as foster mom calls them, “meanders”. I don’t go too fast and love to check out all of the smells. I never pull on leash, so I am a very good boy. Going on short nature trails or to the park are my favorite, or even just taking a seat somewhere and watch the people go by. Riding in the car is also another favorite of mine.
There is nothing that I love more than to simply be with people I am very content to just be with you while you read or watch TV. I am a great companion and will be a great foot warmer with these cold winter months upon us.
UPDATE: Well, I am having a tougher time moving around, so I get to stay at my foster home. I am soaking up all of the love and attention I deserve. If you can help out me and other dogs like me, please click here to make a donation.

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.
