Everyone tells me what a gorgeous girl I am, but somehow that does not fuel my self-confidence. You see, my first home was with a commercial breeder where I had little contact with anything outside my kennel. When I went to live at my AGaG foster home everything was new to me. There were so many scary sounds and sights that I just stayed curled up in the corner of the couch and only left my spot to eat when no one was looking. Over time, I learned a lot from watching and interacting with my three foster siblings. I am slowly discovering that being a dog can be fun! I enjoy being rewarded with something yummy called “cookies”, car rides, running at the park and cuddling with my foster mom before bed. I even wag my tail at the sound of my name!
I still need patient understanding of my shy and reserved demeanor, slow introductions to new situations, and a family who will delight in the progress I make in baby steps. My forever home will need a fenced yard and at least one other dog to be my mentor and help me expand my golden world. I may never be your typical golden with that social, loving personality, but I am still a very sweet girl. So, you get the hint, right? I am a fearful dog so if you have experience with dogs like me, that is a plus. Are you ready to help me continue my transition? Then I may be just the girl for you!

MEET DULEY
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, 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 new home since I am still getting used to so many 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 wonderful plume of a tail. My gentle face and happy eyes will melt your heart. I am ready to move right in!
