Bio:

“Buenos dias!” I was abandoned by my family in Puerto Rico and through an alliance between AGaG and a golden rescue there, I took to the friendly skies and landed in heaven – my Illinois foster home! My kind and patient foster mom has helped me adjust to life in a suburban home with all the accoutrements: a fenced yard! Car rides! Good food! Fun toys! I can still be timid when I confront new things or situations, but with someone who loves me by my side, I can handle it.

Foster mom says I’m very sweet, happy and always have a smile on my face. Might I be the one to bring a smile to yours? Let’s meet and find out!

If interested please fill out our online adoption application form; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
