Buffy the Heart Slayer

This is me, Buffy, before I've gotten the chance to
put on any make up.  I've done my hair myself.
In spite of that, am I not a gorgeous girl?!?

      We Goldens keep telling Foley--our canine copywriter--that he needs to stop with the obscure connections. The "Unsinkable Mollie" and "Bennie and the Jets" and now..."Buffy the Heart-Slayer." Most people probably don't even remember the "Vampire-Slayer" television show but probably even fewer remember the "Family Affair" TV show with Buffy and Jody and Mr. French. So, we apologize for Foley's bad jokes (since he refuses to say, "I'm sorry.")

     My name is Buffy, and I am around 2 years old.  I'm doing really well in my foster home, I get along with my foster sibling (they are an extremely polite dog) and I'm a very good girl---in the house as well as out of the house.

    I am quiet, too. I have only barked one time, and that was when I saw my reflection.  (Hey, seeing another dog staring at me got me startled for a moment. I couldn't help it!)

    I am eager to find a forever home...a home I can grow with as I get into my teen years, my middle-aged years, and even older.

    Check me out at http://www.loveagolden.com/.  Sorry...I have recently found my forever home. But please check out the other great Golden girls and boys at our site.

The "Unsinkable" Mollie

This is my close-up shot...Don't I have
the most gorgeous, liquid-brown eyes?

        My name is Mollie and even though it's not nice to question a lady about her age, I will tell you. I'm six, which in Golden years means I am still active and playful. It also means I am past the puppy stage, so I don't chew up things and I have good house manners.

       I used to have a family but they moved away to a house without a fence.  I don't know why they chose a house with no fenced-in yard, knowing that I was a member of their family, but they didn't consider me, and so I was given up.  It was very sad---I had lived with them and had been loved by them for all of my life, and I didn't quite understand why they left me.  Why did they leave and not come back for me?  Why did I have to go to a "strange" house and live there?

       Well, it has worked out for the best, I guess.  I now live in a foster home where I get lots of love and attention.  But I certainly would like a home that is mine, a home that will be mine forever...

       What else would you like to know about me?  I get along with children (but please, don't apply to adopt me if you have any kids under the age of 4.  That is something the Love a Golden people are quite persnickety about.) and I get along with cats.  (Of course, cats are inferior to dogs, but they're nonetheless nice to have around.)

         Did you know that Golden Retrievers think life is a party, and they are the guest of honor? It's true.  We enjoy life so much and have such a great time.  Our enthusiasm and zest for life cannot be squashed.

         And I'm ready to start enjoying life with my new family.  Could you be the one I'm looking for?  If so, go to http://www.loveagolden.com/.  You'll find me along with other Golden Girls...

Apparently Foley writing this blurb on his blog was a great idea, because I am now adopted!  I found a forever home!  I have a family that loves me!  But there are many other lovely and loving Goldens who are not so lucky.  Check them out on this blog, or go to our site to see all the four-legged friends available for adoption...

My Name is Charlie Brown

         

               I'm Charlie Brown. I'm 8 years old, which in a Golden's life is not old, because I am typical of Golden Retrievers.  I have a zest for life, and love to get attention. In other words, don't pass me by just because I'm no longer a young pup.. I still have a lot to offer someone; I still have lots I can add to a family.

      Okay, okay...You want to know why I had to get rescued. I understand. You're curious.  Well, my family lost their home, and they could not take me with them.  Imagine how devastated they were, to lose me---a member of their family for the last eight years!

     And because I'm an honest guy, I will admit it: I'm not in completely perfect shape, but then, who is? People think I am a bit deaf (I am not admitting to anything about being hard of hearing; I like to think of it as "selective hearing" instead).  The folks who rescued me think it's because I had too many ear infections when I was younger...

      When the Love a Golden people got me, they took me to the vet to get checked out.  I had a lump, which was taken off and looked at.  I have a clean bill of health now. Yahoo!
