I’m Peaches! I may not be 100% Golden Retriever, but I inherited all the best qualities of the breed. I love people and I am especially gentle with the little ones. Tennis balls? I can’t get enough of playing fetch. I have even learned to return the ball and drop it at the thrower’s feet! I love long walks and try not to pull on my leash. I could easily continue further than our usual 1 ½ mile walking adventures. I have lost some weight as a result of my lengthy jaunts and now have a new svelte figure. Unfortunately for stuffies, their life span is not very long with me in control. I can find and remove the squeakers in a flash. When fur foster brother Chazz and I aren’t walking or running around the back yard, we enjoy car rides. The best seat is right behind the driver and I always claim it so I am close enough to get a scratch or two when I lean forward. Sometimes I am a little unsure of how to react around strange dogs and I will bark or give a warning growl. If given a little time, I settle down and accept their friendship. Slow but sure is my byword when it comes to meeting new canines.
Although I have a sugar face, everyone thinks I am much younger than ten years old. I am very active and healthy. When I came into As Good as Gold’s care, I learned that I had a slightly elevated level of an enzyme in my blood which is made by my liver. I took some medication to support my liver function for a while and now my veterinarian says that I am completely healthy and no longer need to take drugs for that condition. He does suggest that I have a blood test once a year to make sure I am still on a healthy track.
I love to cuddle on the couch with my family or just lean on them while I relax on the floor. I also find comfort in snuggling close to Chazz when it is bedtime. I am the household’s welcoming committee and I get very excited when they return from long or short outings. I can’t help but whine and groan and offer kisses galore to let them know how much I missed them. When I find my forever family, I promise to be a loving companion and greet them at the door with enthusiasm and Golden hugs and kisses.

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!!
