Happy "Golden" Easter

Hi everyone! 

My name is Latte and I’m one of AGA’s new orphans. 

You’re probably wondering, “Why is Latte writing this message?” I must tell you-- I’m very excited about Easter. I remember hearing about it, but never had the chance to celebrate. However, this Easter I’ll be celebrating in style because I finally have a “Golden future.”

Latte, the Easter Golden. 

 What do you think? Not too shabby for an 8-year-old! I’m ready to kiss a bunny, go on an Easter “bone” hunt and hopefully find my forever family. Woof, Woof!

I wish everyone a Happy “Golden” Easter!

Love, Latte

P.S.- Mr. Easter Bunny has not been replaced, I'm merely his apprentice. Woof! Also, I must give props to Emmie Sue, for inspiring my outfit. 

It’s My Birthday and I’ll Look Adorable If I Want To

“Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday handsome Banjo, happy birthday to me!” 

Hi – it’s Banjo! And yes, I am talking about myself in the third person. But it’s my Birthday and I’m the king. Actually, my birthday was yesterday, but I ate too many treats, got extra loving from my family and played a little too hard. I’m exhausted from all the birthday celebrations but I did just turn 9-years-old, so it was totally worth it. 

To be honest, my birthday was pretty amazing, but I think a big reason why I’m so happy is that it’s about to be five years since the best family in the world took me into their loving home, and made me one of their own. I have never felt so cherished, protected and wanted. My past is a distant memory, let’s just say it wasn’t a good life. However, my tail wags and my heart sparkles when I think about the fact that I was saved by the wonderful people at Adopt A Golden Atlanta. I am not only thankful to AGA for saving my life, but for also helping me find the perfect family; a family that truly loves me and has helped me overcome some issues and become the happy boy I am today. I wish I would have saved some birthday treats to share with the people at AGA but they were so tasty I couldn’t resist. Woof! Woof!

In other news, my birthday is next year on March 20…. Just kidding! The real news is that my boy Patrick, the most awesome human brother to ever walk the universe, made the UGA spring football team. Woof! I’m so happy. I guess you could say I’m a very proud DAWG!

Well, AGA -- I just wanted to fill ya’ll in on my birthday festivities and wanted to say – thank you, again!

Lots of wet kisses and happy barks,

Banjo


P.S.- I would like to thank my dad, Dan, for an awesome birthday party. “Dan, you’re the man… I mean – you rock, dad!”

Toby Thanks AGA's Online Shop

Hi everyone! My name is Toby, but my mom also calls me the “perfect son.” I earned that title a few days ago after buying my mom awesome AGA apparel from the Golden Gear online shop. She loved everything and the best part – I got lots of belly rubs and kisses. 

My mom even said that when our family is ready to adopt another dog, it will surely be an AGA Golden. I bet my future dog brother or sister will get her more goodies from the AGA shop, too!

Thank you, AGA! You all are amazing at everything you do.

Woof Woof,

Toby

Spook-tacular AGA Halloween Pups Go to Wonderful Homes

Three lucky families got some very special treats this Halloween! AGA’s “boo-tiful” Halloween Pups Jack-O-Lantern, Pumpkin, Casper, and Wendy all went to wonderful forever homes this past weekend.

Jack-O-Lantern and Pumpkin, who had already formed a special bond, were both adopted by a terrific family in Atlanta. These adorable pups look so happy with their new Mom and Dad! They are thrilled that they got to stick together, and can’t wait to explore the family mountain house and meet their human siblings.

Wendy, the pistol of the litter, was adopted by a great family who has been anxiously waiting to get a female golden. Wendy has an older golden brother named Stanley, also from AGA, to show her the ropes around her new home! Wonder if Stanley’s what has her attention in the picture?!

Casper found a forever home with his new Mom and her lab mix, Ella, in Greenville, SC. Casper and Ella will be the perfect puppy pair; Ella is very independent and Casper is a bit needier so the dogs should be a good match for each other. Casper’s Mom is a grad student so Casper will get to go to class with her from time to time, what a smart pup!

Max Acworth Is Cruisin' Through Life

AGA orphan Max Acworth is stealing hearts with his perfect doggie manners and lovable personality! He has already won the affection of his foster Mom, and this past weekend he made a new canine companion when he met his foster Grandma's dog, Abbey.

Fast friends, Max and his new pal Abbey enjoyed an afternoon drive in the back seat of the car.

A full day of playing with Abbey must have worn Max out! Time for some beauty rest.

...but Max isn't out for long! After a little cat (or should we say dog?) nap, he is back to playing with his purple bear, one of his favorite toys!

To learn more about Max, check out his biography on the AGA website.

Lady: A Hero to Her Family

Brave AGA golden Lady, recently adopted by a wonderful family from Florida, showed some true courage yesterday. Lady was bitten by a water mocassin in her backyard; the owners are pretty sure she was trying to protect her human siblings from getting too close to the snake!

Thankfully, her owner was on top of the situation and killed the snake and immediately took Lady to the vet. After an overnight stay, she is recovering beautifully and is enjoying being pampered by her loving family.

Lady's snake bite certainly isn't getting in the way of her appetite!

This little Lady deserves all the R&R and pampering in the world after her heroic display yesterday, and it looks like she's getting it!

Snug as a bug in a rug! We are so happy that Lady is on her way to recovery. Her family is very lucky to have her.

Happy Days for Huckleberry!

Huckleberry (Teddy) overcame some major health obstacles and made it through his heartworm treatment and is now doing amazing! This beautiful golden is truly a miracle dog!

Huckleberry (Teddy) looking mighty fine exploring his spacious backyard.

Enjoying some chill time on the rug with a puppy pal. Watching a little Animal Planet, perhaps?

Vanilla Rules the Roost

Look how much Vanilla (a Golden/Great Pyrenees mix) has grown since she was adopted 2 years ago! It’s hard to believe that Vanilla, once this tiny little pup, is now bigger than all of her Golden siblings!

Say “Cheese!” Have you ever seen such a big smile? Vanilla’s Dad says his happy girl spends her nights sleeping snuggly in the bath tub when she isn’t guarding the foot of her Dad’s bed.

This look says it all, Vanilla is clearly the furry queen of the house!

It's Raining Puppies!

Wellesley and his new Mom are as happy as can be together!

Wellesley’s Mom isn’t the only one ecstatic to have her around; Wellesley’s sister Bunny is pretty excited to have a new playmate too!

Adorable brother and sister Princeton and Sarah (now Colby)Lawrence are so thrilled to be able to stick together as they join their big, happy forever family! Living with their Mom, Dad, three human siblings, and 2 kitties, not to mention they have a pool to splash around in, there will always be something fun for these pups to do!

Yale was adopted this weekend by neighbors of his foster parents, a wonderful retired couple with plenty of time to play with their pup! After losing their 13 year old golden in May, it seems that Yale was just meant to be! Yale is looking forward to meeting his parents’ children, grandchildren, and grandogs; he can’t wait to go to the family’s lake house either!

William Enjoys some R & R in Jackson Hole

Looks like William is one lucky pup! He is spending the dog days of summer lounging, playing, smelling the roses, and even watching some TV in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Live it up for us, William!

Lap Up The Doggy Fun

JR and Puddles are working on their best "doggy paddle" this summer at their new home!  Lookin' good...

Hairy Potter and the Sorcerer's Bone

With all this Harry Potter hype, the goldens were starting to feel left out!

Teaching a New Dog Old Tricks

Today is Kylee's (formerly Ricki Bobbi)two month anniversary on her adoption! With a new name and a new home, she is learning quickly! She now understands "No", "Sit" and "Hop-up!"

Happy Fourth - It's a Golden Explosion!

Hello Golden Lovers!
It's Niki here (AGA Nicole Doodle), with my new sister Dixie and my new Mom and Dad! They said they fell in love with me from the moment they saw me on AGA's website.... So they made a big trip to come and get me, and it was true love after all. I even got to go to the big family reunion on the lake for the Fourth of July!
Thank you for all of your help and Support!
Love,
Niki

Finnegan's Got a Home!!!!!

I know you all remember me from the last few adoption days. I sat in front, the strong dark haired gentleman, I'm sure you'll recall {I look like I might have an old classy Southern drawl}.... And everyone passed by me (I'm rather stoic, ah say - that is.... Reserved....) and went straight to the blond haired young bucks that were clambering for attention.....

Well guess what? I'm HOME now!!! My vet says I'm "gorgeous" and everyone says I'm the most handsome man they've ever seen. My family and I are head over heels for each other - and "right at home" in my new house is an understatement. I'm even showing them what an old professional like me can do when those pesky squirrels get in the back yard! I'm loving long naps and I'm velcro on Mom now that I'm home, too. I just knew my family would come one day - so I hung on tight - just for them.

Thank You all so much for helping me find my forever home!

Love,

Finnegan

Bye Bye Bibi :)

A Bittersweet message for all of her friends. Sweet 16 year old Bibi of Bibi&Yang fame (recent video post if you'll recall -on facebook) - was peacefully taken to the Rainbow Bridge in her sunny backyard with a belly full of treats yesterday after a few months of complicated health problems. She was surrounded by her very dearest friends - her best mate Yang, "adopted son" Andy, and her human mommy. Bibi had a wonderful 16 years and the last few with some really great buddies. Her foster mom couldn't part with Bibi or her friend Yang once she took them in - and they got to live together in Bibi's last years in the lap of luxury and happiness.Thank you to everyone that made this girl's life great! We know she'll be our AGA receptionist at the Golden Gates :)
