Name: Mars
Age: 2
Male
ADOPTED!!
I was saved from a shelter in Puerto Rico and was so happy when I arrived at the airport in Chicago. It was like I had been here forever. I am a sweet, loving, playful guy who is now enjoying the golden life. My past is a secret, but I know that my future is going to be great.
I get along great with other dogs, and I even am ok with cats, unless they put up a good chase, then I will run after them for fun. Kids are wonderful too, but I am a big and little clumsy and might knock the little ones down. Especially if I see something I really want, I don’t care what is in my way. I just get there as fast as I can.
My favorite toy is my Chuck It ball. I carry it around everywhere I go. Sometimes I think it needs a bath, so I drop it in my water bowl for a good rinse, or even on the dishwasher when foster mom is putting dishes in. After all, that is a great way to get her to play with me.
Foster mom says I am an absolutely great dog and the most easy going she has seen. I am stuck to her side at all times and always keep her company. I love attention and will paw you with my big, strong paws for more.
Since I am a young boy, and I don’t know any commands, I will need a family that will take me to training classes so I can learn all of the fun things that dogs get to learn to be great companions. I will melt you with my sweet face and would love to move right in. What do you think?
You CAN make a difference!
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.
Will you make a special gift today and help Taylor and other Goldens get that second chance at life? Please visit: asgoodasgold.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AGaGDonations/tabid/67528/Default.aspx
