I came to As Good as Gold when I needed surgery to fix my knee. I was scared at first, but once I settled in, I really became a happy girl. I had my surgery and I am all healed and now I am ready for my forever home.
I am a great girl in the house. I know sit and down and I can even play dead. I get along with other dogs and met some cats at the vet and was ok. I LOVE to go for car rides and watch everything that goes on. I love to go for walks, but I do get excited and like to check out all of the smells. I am a pretty active gal, so don’t tell me I am a senior. I love to play and I am very young at heart. I certainly don’t act like a 9 year old. Foster says I am a diva now and my new nickname is Miss Sassy Pants.
I like to be with you and will hang out on the couch with you. Overall, I am a really great girl with great energy. I would love to meet you.

MUST HAVES IN MY FOREVER HOME:
• Fenced in yard
• Mentor dog that will show me what dog life is like
I am a fearful dog and didn’t have exposure to normal things that dogs experience for the first 5 years of my life. I am afraid of people, startling noises, and anything that moves quickly. I am more comfortable outside than inside, and really would like to play with a dog outside. I get all happy and wiggly and play bow. But, inside is a different story. I find my safe place and that’s where I prefer to be most of the day. Human contact is slowly becoming tolerable to me. But, many times I just freeze and try to be invisible.
I am taking medication to help me with my fears, but it will be a long road for me to learn to trust and build confidence. It is the most rewarding process to see a dog like me make the baby steps to learning how to be a dog. I need a quiet and patient family to call my very own.
I am a beautiful and sweet girl and am ready to blossom in my forever home. Come and meet me.
