Give the Golden Gift this Season!

Dear Santa,

Woof! from Atlanta. The weather is perfect for lots of ball-chasing and long walks! I’ve been a very lucky dog enjoying these past few years with my owner and it is all thanks to Adopt a Golden Atlanta. Did you know they are the second-largest golden retriever rescue in the country? Just this year, Adopt a Golden Atlanta has saved nearly 300 dogs! That means more goldens are enjoying the holidays with a new family, enjoying holiday parties, dressing up in Santa outfits and cuddling by the fire. Sounds like the “Golden Life” to me!

It wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for all the generous people who donated to Adopt a Golden Atlanta. Besides rescuing goldens, the donations helped provide $900 per dog in medical care, giving my pals needed surgeries and treatments so they could play in their backyards again.

Santa, this year I don’t want a big bone or squeaky stuffed animal, I just want people to continue their support and honor a dog lover with a gift in their name. By giving to Adopt a Golden Atlanta this year, donors will have their gift posted on the “In Honor” page on the website and they’ll send an email acknowledgement to the person chosen. When my owner makes a donation, my name is displayed on the website so all my golden friends can see it!

I hope you spread the holiday cheer to all of Adopt a Golden’s supporters this season!

Woof,

Rafer

PS- …maybe a bone would be nice in my stocking!

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!”

Diesel Houston is Adjusting to the Time Change

Dear humans – My name is Diesel Houston and I am having a very hard time adjusting to this whole time change idea. Why did I have to wake-up early today? Why did I have to go to sleep while it was still bright last night? I don’t quite get these changes. All I really know is that I’m sleepy and will cuddle with my stuffed animals until this all make sense.
 
Sweet dreams you funny time-changing people!
Zzzz…
