We adopted Sky in 2021 after our previous golden, Molly, passed away almost a year earlier, and it was hard to imagine any dog filling that void. Then we met Sky and immediately fell in love. When Sky first came to us, she was incredibly anxious. Now, a few years later, we have an entirely different dog. She’s still just as sweet and still has the very cute (or very needy, depending on who in the family you ask) habit of putting both of her paws on your lap whenever she wants to be petted. But we’ve also seen her personality blossom. She will always be found with a ball in her mouth, she loves walks and meeting new people, and she is a very good sibling to her sweet younger brother, a lab named Viego. Even though Sky is now an old lady, she is just as sweet and silly as ever. We are so thankful to AGaG for allowing us to give her a new life and for introducing us to the fluffy white monster that we didn’t know would complete our family.
