I’m just a very busy youngster who loves to run and play with endless enthusiasm. As with most young dogs, I am high energy and have the occasional case of the zummies. I am so lucky that my foster brother Finn shares my enthusiasm for wrestling matches even though we sometimes get a little carried away and Foster mom has to intervene! I love to destuff my soft toys and carry them around with me when I am looking for my next adventure. I have fun playing fetch and I will keep playing until you quit. Sometimes I have trouble remembering to drop the ball at the end of the game and prefer to continue with a good game of tug-of-war!
Did I mention that I am a lap dog and try to curl up for a cuddle at any time and any place? The problem is, what do I do with my long legs? I look forward to longs walks with my foster mom and am working hard to keep pace with her without pulling. I love other dogs I meet and even find the household cats very interesting.
I received very little training or guidance in my formative first year and I have a lot to learn about manners, obedience and self-control. I need someone in my life who is willing to devote the time needed to patiently train me to be a well behaved family member. Maybe we could form a strong bond while taking obedience classes together or just hanging out! Will you be the one willing to love me enough to mold me into a complaisant companion who will reward you with sloppy kisses and endless devotion? I am a work in progress and a diamond in the rough. I am the gem you have been looking for. Take a chance on me! I will sparkle in no time!

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
