If I may brag a bit, my name “Lady” fits me perfectly! I am a quiet house guest at my foster home and have the appearance and energy of a much younger dog. I never ever get on the furniture, I give a gentle howl when I need to go outside and I save my chewing for bones and toys. I love to put my head on anyone’s lap who is offering pets and scratches and counter surf? NEVER! At a petite 59 pounds, I enjoy playing ball with my fur foster brother and I sleep in the same room with one of the resident cats. I am interested in becoming better acquainted with the other kitties who live here, but they usually ignore me, so I don’t bother them. My foster mom says that I’m a mix of golden retriever and a gymnast. When it’s time to go outside, I’ve been known to do a front flip in excited anticipation! I love walks but I need some practice so I don’t pull so much when trying to greet other dogs along our route. I’m very friendly and outgoing, but when I see someone near our house, I bark to warn my mom. I settle down quickly when my foster mom assures me that she is safe.
If you are searching for a companion who is well behaved, full of love and a joy to be around, I’m packed and ready to join your family.

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.
