Golden Golden Retriever & Labrador Retriever Mix Ramona, CA

Meet Golden!

15-year-old Golden was surrendered by her owners to Long Beach Animal Care services due to "old age" following a welfare check request by a concerned citizen. When an Animal Control Officer arrived, Golden's owner opted to pay a 'pick up & disposal fee' and release custody to the shelter. How sad is that?!

We think Golden deserves MUCH better than being abandoned by her family after 15 years of loyalty, so we rescued her from the shelter on March 5th to become a Frosted Face. Golden weighs 41 lbs. and is very sweet and gentle. She is wonderful with people and other dogs alike.

Golden is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn what she is like in a home, while she enjoys lots of love and pampering. We received a great update from her Fling Mom:

"Golden was neglected prior to becoming a Frosted Face, and it showed in her stoic, sleepy personality. We are learning that there is a way to bring her out of her shell however...this girl loves to get out of the house! From our first walk at Kit Carson Park to Cruise Night in Ramona to a winery meet up, Golden is feeling it!

In the home, she is an angel and naps a lot. She sleeps through the night for 10 hours without accidents. During the day, she goes about every 3 hours.

Golden has gone from about 4 steps on her own last week to slowly walking around for a few minutes on her own several times today. She had a Librella shot last week, and it must be helping."

Check back soon for the next update!
