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.

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?
