Good News!

If anyone is reading my blog, I have good news. We had some bad weather in my town last night and our electricity was out for 24 hours. During the storm, we had lots of wind, thunder and lightening. I want you to know, that I was not one bit nervous about this.

So, if you are looking for a great dog without storm issues, I may just be the one. I will post a new picture tomorrow.

Hello again. I am still hanging out at my foster home. I am having a great time, but I am looking forward to having my own family. By the way, did I mention that I have very white teeth and a beautiful smile. If you need to talk to me, just leave a comment on my blog. I am looking forward to meeting my forever family. Won't you please give me a chance?



By the way, I am the one that is chasing Cedar (he is retrieving the ball). Karma and Robbie are playing with the rope.

I am a busy boy!

Hey, it's me again.

I wanted to share some videos with you. Don't forget to scroll down and see my previous post and my handsome pictures.

It's me again! (Sundance)

Hello everyone. I am so glad that you are visiting my blog. My foster mom has been busy taking pictures and video of me and my foster buddies. I have had lots of fun playing with Karma and Cedar. Robbie likes to lie around and chew on the tennis ball while Cedar likes to retrieve it. Karma likes to just hop around and bark. I don't mean to sound rude, but she is missing a paw, and she does hop. I like to run after Cedar while he goes after the ball.

I have finally come to terms with the fact that I don't look exactly like a golden retriever. When the nice people with MAGRR brought me in, I thought I was a golden. I acted like a golden, but when I looked in the mirror I saw more than golden fur. My foster parents have been reminding me that I am just as special as those "real goldens". Just look at Cedar, he doesn't even have fluffy fur. He looks like a lab, but he came from MAGRR too. His mama was a golden and I bet mine was too. If you can get past my beautiful multicolor coat, I bet you will love me too. Thanks for visiting, and I hope to hear from you soon. Oh, one more thing. I want to thank MAGRR for saving my life. If they had not come to my rescue, I would not be here today.

Lazy Goldens

Sundance fits right in with our group of lazy goldens. It doesn't take long for our foster to catch the "lazy" bug. As you can see from the photos, we do have some lazy goldens and one lazy golden/lab mix.

Baker's Story

On January 7, 2009, Kelly Perry, one of our intake volunteers, made a trip to the Tipton County Animal Shelter. She was on her way to rescue a golden boy that was in need of a good bath and someone to show him that he was worth saving. Kelly and her family became Baker's foster family. They provided him with special care and the love that he needed to hold his head up high and tell the world, "I was worth it, look at me now".

Well, this story has a great ending. After fostering him for months, the Perry's decided that this boy would always be a part of their family. In the foster world, we are always preparing ourselves to face the day when our foster baby leaves to be with their forever family. We give them a hug, and a kiss, and we send them on their way. With tears in our eyes we convince ourselves that we will feel better in a few days. But, sometimes we just know that we are the perfect forever family. Coming from a foster failure, I know the feeling. This is just one of the many "success" stories that comes our way.

Congratulations Kelly and Steve on a great success story. Baker looks so handsome and happy thanks to you.
