I Love Lucy

Ricky Ricardo isn't the only one who loves Lucy! And while you may not catch this golden trying to hide candy with Ethel or on TV promoting "Vitameatavegamin," you can find Lucy (formerly Dolly) with one of her best friends Hannah taking a morning walk up the mountain.

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 :)

Enough... Is... Enough!!!

Hey AGA Friends! ****Bailey Here! My family brought me home from AGA 3 years ago - and I sure have been enjoying the run of the house.... Well - in walks little miss "Lola" (adopted in March from AGA!) - and this little ball of fluff sure thinks she owns the place! She certainly tries to get on my nerves - but she's too cute so I just let it all slide. Here is baby Lola is "helping me" with my nap!!! Little sisters - gotta love 'em! **** Love, Saint Bailey McPatience

Hey Everyone!

It's me Conway - and boy do I feel lucky! My new family, the Verdeyens, picked me out of 8 littermates at Russell Ridge this weekend. I know it was a tough decision - but after much thought - I won the vote!!!! I have a sister Golden, 2 teenage "sisters", and my Mom works at home - so I'm set for a super fun life! Thank you all so much for the chance to meet such a great Forever Family!

"Dog!...The Builder!"

Hi AGA friends!

It's me, Cooper, doing some tough construction work here with my baby sister! My new family says they love me so much! Mom's a runner, and she's taking me along for "moral support" all the time. I sure love the wind in my ears! Here's a big sloppy kiss to everyone that made my new home a possibility!

Love,

Cooper

Champ's New Home!

Hi Everybody!

I just wanted to thank all of you who helped me find my new Forever Home with the Davis Family! I'm already as cozy as I can be with Mom, Dad, and especially my BFF (the little doll in Pink!). My new sibling Dodie, the lab mix, thinks I'm a pretty cool little brother, too! :) I sure couldn't have done it without you guys!

Love, Champ
