Ginger, a charmer from Puerto Rico, was helped by his foster dad through his anxiety from a very rough journey to the chilly north and diet needs with the help of his two seniors. After an island meet up in Paw Paw, MI, he handed…
Our story begins on a somber note as we had to put down our beloved family dog Oreo after 12 years. The first dog I then had any contact with was a Golden Retriever at our church’s comfort dog program. That got us interested in…
Charity was one of those lucky girls who was saved from a life of living in a kennel. When Charity came to As Good as Gold in January, 2017, she was horribly shut down and wouldn’t leave her safe place. She saw our veterinary behaviorist…
We had lost our chocolate lab unexpectedly, and our yellow lab had started showing signs of loneliness, so we applied to adopt. We were told that many people had passed on Bella because she was small and not a pure golden. Bella was lucky –…
We had a golden retriever for 14 years. After 2 years without one, we decided it was time to consider bringing another into our lives. We wanted to help AGAG by fostering, unsure if we were ready for a full time commitment. Then AGAG contacted…
We adopted our Puerto Rican baby Joshy (Josué) in 2015. When he arrived at our house he was just skin and bones, with hardly any fur on his tail. His ears were infected and he had a big pink scar underneath his chin. This poor…
July 2, 2016 will always be a very “Special Day” for the Avery Family. The arrival of “Ozzie” the “Gentle Giant” from Agag with his foster mom (a very special person) was truly a new beginning for all. His name was Oscar but his foster…
Our beloved Boston was adopted one year ago from AGAG. He has truly changed our lives. No matter how stressful our day has been we can always count on an excited welcome home, a nudge for scratches or having him just snuggle with us. When…
I’m Beau. I was adopted in March 2017 right after my 13th birthday. My original family relinquished me because I had mobility issues. My new family loves me! I could barely climb one step when I was first adopted. I went on a strict diet…

MEET ABIGAIL!
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.
