“A Diamond In The Rough” is how you would probably describe me. At thirty-five pounds, I am a gorgeous golden retriever in a petite body. I am definitely a mama’s boy and I love being where she is. I enjoy our long walks and runs along the rural paths near our home. I am a polite leash walker and even stay by foster mom’s side when I am off leash. There are two teenage boys at my foster home who keep me busy playing fetch and basketball, but it takes more than a few walks and ball playing to wear out this ever ready bunny! I am a little too spirited to live with a moppet and prefer interacting with the older variety of human children. My fur brother is a senior and isn’t interested in my overtures to play, which is implausible to me. I would prefer to have another dog in my forever home to share my exuberance and be a mentor to me. If there is any activity in the house, I am right there trying to be part of it! Besides playing ball games with my human siblings, I treasure the stuffed hippo I came into rescue with and enjoy chewing on a rope toy that I found when I arrived at my foster home.
I am a high energy teenager who has never had the benefit of obedience training and learning boundaries. Taking classes together will teach you to communicate with me to build a relationship of trust and respect and help me become a beloved member of your pack. Foster mom says I am a smart friendly little doll and finds my puppy kisses very endearing. I just need a little patient encouragement to smooth the rough edges. Let’s get to work!

Wine & Candle Photo Contest - Ends Soon
We have over a hundred photo submissions this year. But who will be our TOP TWELVE? That is for you to determine. Voting ends on July 28th, so solicit friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to vote for your dog. Even if you don’t have a dog in the contest, please check out our lineup of goldens. All the dogs are worthy contestants, but only twelve can make celebrity status. The winners will go on to appear on a wine or candle label.
Each vote requires a $2 tax deductible donation with all funds going to support rescued goldens. This contest is a great way to support our efforts to help rescue and rehome more dogs.

Our new vendor is Aspen Lane Wine Company in Aurora. This company was started by a man who had a disabled child and wanted to help non-profit groups raise money for their cause. His son is now deceased, but he continues his efforts and we are honored to be a part of this program that distributes all profits to their participating partners.
The wine and candles will make unique gifts for the holidays. There will be a selection of wines in three bottle sizes, and the candles are 100% soy wax which makes them eco-friendly. The winery will ship or orders can be picked up at the winery.
Only TWELVE can be our TOP DOGS so vote for your favorite and support our rescue efforts.
Thank you to everyone that submitted photos! Your dogs are all winners!!
