OK, mellow and golden doodle may not be synonymous, but mellow describes me – Morgan – to a T! I am social and love being with people and getting attention, but I’m not needy about it. I enjoy following my foster mom around the house and hanging out near her. And I like to check in on foster dad, who often is confined to his bed, to make sure he’s OK and give him some golden love.

I enjoy exploring our yard, going for walks and taking car rides. I’m an excellent passenger.

I also like playing with squeaky toys. And foster mom cannot get enough of my happy doodle smile.

“Morgan is a sweet, lovable girl,” her foster mom says. “She loves attention but is not needy. She responds to general commands. Morgan is the best companion, staying close wherever you may be. Morgan does charge a belly rub tax whenever you go by her. She is a really good dog, social with people, easy-going, calm, fun, and she has a smile that never stops. She will be a great addition to her forever family.”

So, if mellow is what you’re looking for in a canine companion, I’m your gal!

ADOPTION FEE: $200

MEDICAL CONCERNS: Morgan has persistent ear infections for which she is being treated; her next recheck is mid-March. We are hoping she’ll be ready for adoption after that. She is on Cosequin to help her aging joints.

 REQUIREMENTS: Morgan would like to be the only dog in her new home; her adopters will need to respect her need for slow introductions to dogs of family and friends.

We rescued Henry in October 2024 from As Good as Gold at just 8-weeks old. He was the cutest boy. He’s now 15-months old and 90 pounds (and still cute). You just want to hug him. This past April, he received his Canine Good Citizen Certification! We hope to take more classes in obedience and agility this upcoming year—maybe even some dock diving classes. He’s very smart, and quite the athlete! His favorite treat is frozen blueberries. We love our big boy and have recommended As Good as Gold to many of our friends. We’re excited to see what we’ll learn together in the new year!

I adopted a precious little 4 ½-year old goldendoodle named Goldilocks from AGaG in August 2025. She is so sweet and is very good at the vet’s and groomer. At first, she was a little timid, but now she is more secure. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She is my little Velcro dog who follows me everywhere. Goldilocks will be five years old in February. I want to thank her foster mom for taking such good care of this precious bundle of joy. I also want to thank everyone at AGAG for the wonderful work you do in rescuing these precious dogs and finding them their forever homes.

It’s been a year since he joined our family, and we wanted to tell you how much we love our Canelo Bear! Sadly, he was surrendered to As Good as Gold due to a divorce, but his misfortune became our good fortune last October when he came to live with us!

Initially, we were a bit trepidatious because he weighted over 105 pounds, and we were worried how he might interact with our 20 pound pugs. But we quickly learned that there isn’t one mean or dangerous cell in his body. He is a true gentleman and everyone’s best friend.

Known to everyone in the neighborhood, he insists on getting pets from strangers everywhere when we take our daily two-mike walks. He makes fast friends of lawn folk, construction workers, mailmen, and UPS drivers; I swear people are more excited to see him than me!

Thank you for trusting us to give him a loving home. He is adored by us and our pugs.

Gratefully,
Canelo Bear’s family

Once again, As Good As Gold matched us with a wonderful rescue dog! Luna has blended into our family and loves when other people visit! And meeting new dog friends on her 2 daily walks has been fun, too. She’s a cuddly female who’s strongly bonded with my husband, though I get my share of attention too! Our big fenced in backyard is her favorite place for zoomies, squirrel stalking, and just relaxing in the newly cool weather with one of us. Watching through the patio doors works when we can’t be outside. We had a huge hole in our hearts after our Tiffany crossed the Rainbow Bridge 5 1/2 months ago, and Luna is now bringing her joy to us. Thank you As Good As Gold!

Well, it’s no surprise how I got my name! I’m a mini golden doodle, so a curly coat is in my DNA. I am a retired breeding dog who is still trying to figure out what it means to be a pampered pet, so I am still quite cautious around people. But thanks to my loving and patient foster mom, I am making progress! She lets me do things at my own pace, no matter how slow it may be.

I startle easily and I will duck or run if you approach me too quickly, especially if you approach me head-on. And it’s best to go slowly when petting me. Foster mom has figured out that I like to be petted on my neck before she pats my head or body.

I do enjoy being with my canine foster siblings; they give me comfort and sometimes I’ll even play with them. I am getting more comfortable with taking walks, and I enjoy being outside – with and without the other dogs. It’s clear to my foster mom that I want to be part of the family: I join them in the family room and follow bedtime routines. I especially like being near my foster mom. I sleep in my crate with the door open and I eat late at night when no one is watching.

Foster mom is very proud of the progress I’ve made and knows that in the right home, I’ll continue to gain confidence and learn to trust. Will that be you?

I adopted Goldilocks, a little 4 1/2 yr. old golden doodle from As Good As Gold. I have had her since the 15th of August of this year. She is very sweet and has been very good at the vet’s and at the groomer. At first, she was a little timid, but now she is more secure. She is my little Velcro dog, following me everywhere. She loves to run her zoomies in the backyard, and then she loves to rest. I cannot thank the rescue and her wonderful foster mom enough. Thank you so much for rescuing this precious little bundle of joy!

Mary Elizabeth, Goldilocks’ mom

Need someone to liven up your life? Step right up because I’m your guy. Foster mom describes me as a goofy, gangly golden teenager who settles and naps like a champ once I get my wiggles out. I love to wrestle and run zoomies in the yard with the younger of my foster brothers, who patiently tolerates my occasional breaches of canine etiquette (like stealing balls out of his mouth). I’m also respectful of my older foster brother who is not so playful.

Once I’ve burned off energy, I’m ready to settle in near my foster mom, and when it’s time to relax I like nothing better than crawling into her lap for neck scratches – my fave!

We’ve been doing some training to help me learn self-control and guess what? I love learning! I know sit, down, paw and wait. I will pull on leash a bit, and I get excited when we see other people and dogs – but in a “Hi, let’s party” kind of way. I do love walks.

Even though I’m energetic, foster mom says I have a chill vibe: I don’t guard anything and haven’t shown any aggressive behaviors. I do bark when the doorbell rings and at dogs and people walking past the house. Sometimes I get a little jumpy when people visit because I’m so happy to see them. But we’re working on these things, which my forever home will need to do with me.

So, if you’re looking for a joyful adventure buddy who will make you laugh every single day, then flop at your feet for a nap, I’m your guy. Come meet me and let the goofy grins begin.
